You can't even find aftermarket cartridges for HP's new printers like the Officejet 9020, and a set of OEM replacement ink costs $100. They're also paranoid devices which re-enable auto updates by themselves, which is probabl

Quercetin has an EC50 value of 84 uM in vitro against SARS-CoV, Chloroquine around 6 uM vs SARS-CoV-2 and it's a lot better absorbed - so to get any antiviral effect from quercetin you'd probably need at least 10 grams pr day.
