Apparently, the chicom crud doesn't like Vitamin D

You would think that this would be getting more attention than "wear a mask". Vitamin D is cheap and safe as a supplement. Blacks and hispanics have lower Vitamin D levels than white people. Apparently, having Dr. Fow Chee make a recommendation that minorities might consider taking an over the counter supplement is right up there with the HCQ embargo. Black Lives Don't Matter.

VITAMIN D UPDATE: Vitamin D helps the body fight coronavirus, major Israeli study claims.
Milana Frenkel-Morgenstern of Bar Ilan University told The Times of Israel on Sunday that vitamin D is “like a steroid,” after publishing what she says is the world’s largest population-based study of its kind.
She embarked on the joint study with Leumit Health Services to probe whether there is a basis to suggestions — heard throughout the pandemic — that vitamin D may prove helpful.
Her team studied a 7,807-strong sample of Israelis who were tested for the coronavirus. It found that the average vitamin D level for people who screened negative was in the internationally-accepted “adequate” range, while the average for those who tested positive fell in the “inadequate” category.
Vitamin D levels of less than 20 nanograms per milliliter of blood are considered inadequate.
Frenkel-Morgenstern said that people in her sample who tested negative were, on average, within the adequate range, showing a mean vitamin D count of 21 nanograms per milliliter. Those who tested positive were, on average, under the adequate level, with a mean vitamin D count of 19 nanograms per milliliter.
People who went on to be hospitalized after their test had a lower mean vitamin D count: 17 nanograms per milliliter.

An Indonesian Study. A Facebook friend’s succinct summary of the findings in this study: “Just under half (49.7%) of cases had normal vitamin D status, and only 4% of them died. Just over a quarter (27%) had insufficient vitamin D status, and most of them (88%) died. Just under a quarter (23%) had deficient vitamin D status, and almost all of them (99%) died.”
The study calls anything over 30 ng/ml as normal Vitamin D; my doctor prefers in the neighborhood of 60.
