This is exactly where Backman believes vitamin D plays a major role. Not only does vitamin D enhance our innate immune systems, it also prevents our immune systems from becoming dangerously overactive. This means that having healthy levels of vitamin D could protect patients against severe complications, including death, from COVID-19.
Que Trump in his presser today encouraging people to get more vitamin D just to have CNN and MSNBC step in with Dr. Sanjay Gupta saying "there is no documented evidence that Vitamin D can cure coronavirus" while ridiculing the POTUS for saying that getting sun will prevent Covid.

This study did not actually measure Vitamin D.

You really need to watch Eddie Halls YouTube vids.
Or just watch trends for those dying.
This has been known since african doctors in northern Europe started dropping like flies.

Take your Vitamin D supplements folks
Was diagnosed with low Vitamin D about 6 years and started taking a pill back then...who knew ?

alright, did the Vitamin D cause the bad outcomes, or did the bad outcome cause a low vitamin D level? You'd have to test people before and after getting infected to find out which.

I give my wife the biggest 3 inches of Vitamin D she will ever have.

Dude.
She‘s used to a much bigger dose.

Bad outcomes because vitamin D was too low, among other things.

This also fits in with the racial disparity in the infection rate (comorbidities are likely not the explanation - in Mississippi the white mortality rate is slightly higher).

8000 IU / day.
10,000 here, and I go outside all the time, and I’m just above the minimum on blood tests. I think I have heard 75% of Americans are deficient in Vitamin D somewhere.

Nice.
I know people who go higher but I’m not deficient. If I get the shite, I’ll probably double it.

My allergist told me those with bad allergies also have low D levels. Can't remember if allergies lowered D or low D caused allergies, but there is a correlation. So watch out those of you with bad allergies.

I’m outside a lot. And my levels are still low so I take a supplement AND go outside.
Was taking 5000 but recent bloodwork indicated need to go up to 10,000.

the rest of us call this 'going outside'.
If your are Vitamin D deficient, which most people are, you don't get enough by just going outside every day.

I take a great multi (Alive for Men) that is mostly made from dehydrated fruits and veggies. I also supplement Vitamin D, Magnesium, Fish Oil, and Zinc on top of it.
I'm taking D (just bought up the last three bottles of 5,000iu D at Target a couple of days ago), but how much zinc are you supplementing? My understanding is you can overdo zinc pretty easily. I have a brand new bottle of 50mg zinc, but I generally only start taking that once I feel a sore throat coming on (usually my first sign that I'm getting sick). I also take Vascepa, which is esseentially a highly purified EPA supplement.

All this shows is that the fricking "experts" don't have a fricking clue what they are doing.
