I don't know if it's been posted in this thread yet or not, but there are lots of connections between vitamin D deficiency and immune system vulnerability. It's been well researched for years, and you can find lots of information about it on the interwebs, but this is the best video I've found about it. Please know that I am not suggesting anyone rely on this information for their survival during this crisis, or claiming I've found a miracle cure, but it makes sense on many levels, including why darker skinned people are more at risk for viral pneumonia in general (not just coronavirus). It's not quack science either, it's been clinically studied -- I would go on but the best explanation is in this Doctor's video.
I'm NOT saying that coronavirus is a hoax. And, there have been lots of reports of quack doctors prescribing vitamins for Covid patients (including Vitamin C), so Vitamin D(3) is not really a miracle cure per se, but it just makes sense. Here's just one way it makes sense: people in ICU's won't get proper nutrition, and can't go outside in the sunlight, so how will they get any D3 (even the RDA levels, which are bare minimum requirements to prevent Ricketts) without some kind of supplementation? Are they even checked for vitamin deficiencies?
On top of all this, my wife just informed me there's a new article out about how the State of NY is attributing as many deaths as possible to Covid in order to gain more Federal funding. Some families are requesting autopsies simply because they don't believe their family member died of Covid -- some just had Alzheimers, which requires suction in order to swallow, so without this they choke & look like they have Covid, so they die & are labeled as a Covid death. Federal funding formulas are a serious problem, and are part of the reason why our education systems are failing (e.g. teachers stressing elementary students out about standardized tests, in order to boost performance to gain more federal funding for their school), but this takes it to a whole other level -- manipulating Covid data in order to get more funds. Not only is this abhorrently self-serving, but it also has an exponential detrimental effect on a state's economy. And one wonders if the additional federal funds will be used to fight Covid & help the unemployed anyways, the state of NY has been notoriously corrupt on every level for decades (just ask your local NY building contractor about permit inspectors....).
Which reminds me, why hasn't Vitamin D supplementation been touted as a first line of defense? because, folks, the big pharma industry absolutely HAS to have the say in how to cure this virus; in fact, the more people infected with it, the more money they will make. Funny thing is, coronavirus has already mutated into 30 different strains, so since innoculation is impossible at this point, the focus is now on how to prevent cytokine storms (see video) through a vaccination program, because it HAS to be a vaccination program. Simple nutrition CANNOT be the solution, because the self-serving pharma industry won't allow it. Sound like a loony conspiracy theory? Dr. Fauci, whose opinions everyone "universally respects", is on the board of the Gates Foundation, which has as one of its primary goals to establish a universal vaccination program. Lots & lots of conflicts of interest between Gates, the CDC, and big pharma.
I'm really sorry, I'll /rant, so please just watch this video & make your own conclusions:
