I have been since last year when there was some speculation about it helping, and I saw correlations between virus peaks and times people were spending in the sun. It’s a big part of why I think people who want us all to stay indoors all day are not helping. I also have historically been borderline low on Vitamin D. So about 4 months ago, around my surgery, I started taking Vitamin D drops (in my feeding tube shakes to start). I take about 10,000 IUs (10 drops) per day which is way over the RDA (600-800 IU).

fandandy 3,311 Posted February 14, 2021 I see Germany is tightening its borders against Covid. That's good to see. Let's hope that the virus doesn't mutate into a strain that gang rapes German women or the borders will be opened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The WHO is very clear on this. They don't know where it started but it definitely wasn't Wuhan. They don't know what started it, but it definitely wasn't lab created. They spent a whole couple of days in that lab, a whole year after it started, what more can you ask for? Science! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s another way of showing that total deaths are up significantly, driven by covid as the other causes are comparable to past years. I would say a key point is the second paragraph of the tweet - other causes of death are not being falsely attributed to covid-19. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supermike80 1,302 Posted February 16, 2021 So this is fun. Many counties are starting to really question our gubbernor's vaccine distribution plan. Many counties with significant at risk populations, such as elderly, are NOT getting the vaccines they need. As I mentioned before, now that Trump is no longer in office, half wit has no one to blame and is being strangely quiet about this. She was in front of the cameras every single day blaming the federal government (translation Trump) while he was in office and now she's a ghost. However..The news showed how Michigan is distributing the vaccine. They use, wait for it, a "social vulnerability index" to send out the vaccines. Translation? African Americans first. Detroit has so many vaccines, that the population doesn't want, they are practically begging people to sign up Seeing as how the elderly are FAR more susceptible to this virus than your run of the mill african american, you can see how the world works now. Congrats black folk, you now are the #1 priority on everything. White guilt is real. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most black people suffer from Vit D deficiency because they don't belong in the northern/European climate. Due to their dark skin they can't produce Vd as efficiently as white people can.

We know certain peoples seem to have it worse, but those certain peoples seem to have everything worse. Could be simple diet and lack of health care. Also could be that it's racist to imply that since Blacks do indeed have Vitamin D deficiencies compared to whites, that they get covid worse. The facts have become a mess.
