Vidcast: https://youtu.be/Nlw2NR1XSAM A global epidemiological study reveals a significant correlation between lower than optimal Vitamin D levels and both numbers of CoVid infections as well as deaths attributed to the virus. British researchers focused on data from 20 European countries tabulating published average Vitamin D levels and CoVid statistics from each. Serum vitamin D levels less than 30 nmol/L are considered deficient. Such deficiencies were found in Spain (26), Italy (28), and in aging Swiss (23). The investigators note that vitamin D supplementation is proven safe and effective. If you live in an area that is a virus hot spot, get plenty of sun and check your levels. https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-21211/v1 #covid #coronavirus #vitamind
