Study: Vitamin D deficiency found in over 80% of COVID-19 patients

This isn’t the first we’ve heard of this, but this, regardless if proven or not over time, begs the question why anyone would have encouraged people to stay at home, or even try and prevent people from going outside and getting sun by closing parks and such to the public.
No, stay inside, get fat, avoid the sun, and watch TV.

COVID-19 patients at a hospital in Spain were overwhelmingly found to be deficient in vitamin D, according to a new study.
quote:
Researchers discovered 80% of 216 COVID-19 patients at the Hospital Universitario Marqués de Valdecilla had a vitamin D deficiency. Men had lower levels of vitamin D than women and COVID-19 patients with lower levels of vitamin D had increased serum levels of inflammatory markers such as ferritin, a blood protein containing iron, and D-dimer, a protein fragment made when a blood clot dissolves in the body. The latter is usually elevated in COVID-19 patients, according to a July study published in the “Journal of Intensive Care.”
quote:
Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to a variety of health concerns, but research continues to examine why it affects other systems of the body. There are many studies that point out how beneficial vitamin D is on the immune system and how it offers protection against infections, in particular. Mayo Clinic infectious disease specialist Dr. William F. Marshall wrote that not enough data exists to recommend the use of vitamin D to stop the infection from the coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19, or to treat COVID-19, according to the National Institutes of Health and the World Health Organization

I feel like this has been known from the earliest days of this but has never gotten enough attention. Many of these places up north where days are so short this time of year are getting blown up.

Vitamin D don't make no money baw

This is medical proof that I should continue drinking a gallon of whole milk every 2 days. Milk and the sun are wonderful things. Independently not when combined.
I think vitamin D is added to milk in US to increase DV? I wonder if Spain and other countries do that.

Here is my true story about this. Take it for what it is worth.
After having fever for 4 days with Covid I had been to the doctor and gotten a chest x-ray which was clear. I came home wife and kids were running the air conditioner and I had severe chills. It was a beautiful spring April day and I was exhausted and felt like shite. I took my shirt off and lay down in the yard because the sun felt good on my chest. I fell asleep on the lawn for almost 2 hours. I woke up slightly sunburned.That night my fever broke and the next day I felt amazing with no symptoms.
I will forever believe in Vit. D and it’s effect on our immune systems.
I also believe that only taking the vitamins is not the same. Natural sunlight triggers your body to do things the vitamins alone don’t.

I read about this early on and how Scandanavian countries that get very little sunlight also heavily supplement Vitamin D. Maybe that helped Sweden look so good?
Could also explain why people with darker skin are worse off. They dont make vitamin D as easily.
I always thought Trump should just come out and say "take a vitamin D supplement every day and get 30 minutes of sunlight". Im sure he would've been ripped for suggesting it though.

The fairer skin the less likely to be vitamin D deficient
Also, correlation doesn’t equal causation. To start, over 50% of people are vitamin d deficient. And usually, when you get sick, your levels drop. So while there is not harm in supplementing vitamin D, I don’t think it’s really what is driving this

Yeah looks like melanated peoples are more susceptible to the white mans virus.
Posted on 12/20/20 at 9:12 am to Mike da Tigah
Old people have vit D deficiencies
Who knew?
This may be one of those cases of correlation isnt causation

Sweden was all about the herd immunity.
As Covid death toll soars ever higher, Sweden wonders who to blame Champions of herd immunity once lauded the Nordic refuseniks. All that has changed now
quote:
Now those hopes have been dashed, with the level of new daily cases, hospitalisations and deaths once again far above that seen in the country’s Nordic neighbours, Dr Tegnell and his former boss Johan Giesecke are no longer granted near daily interviews from herd immunity advocates in the British and US media.

I started taking men's one a day for the vitamin D 6 months ago. Knock on wood, good so far

It takes time for sunlight to be converted to usable "vitamin D." So there might have be some other mechanism that helped you feel better.
That being said, more and more research seems to equate vitamin D deficiency with poorer Covid outcomes.
Governments should have started people on supplements for better health long before now. It's not like it wouldn't have positive effects even if Covid benefits didnt work out.

C D and Zinc are beneficial against or with covid

Pretty sure 80% of all people are vitamin D deficient but regardless this still applies. I still can't decide if I'm a conspiracy theorist or if the government is just that stupid

Even still, a vitamin D supplement and 30 min of sunshine is nearly zero risk and possibly high reward. There’s really no reason not to suggest this other than the current political environment
