Probably means that they would like to crawl back into the womb themselves where it's safe and warm and they don't have to do shit 'cause mama takes care of all that.
In the last 4 days 3 students have told me that they have Covid or their housemates have it. Two were sick and one had to move out of her apartment because her roommates tested positive. One of the sick students told me that she never goes out except to go to work at the University. So, she suspects that she got it at work.
A vit D deficiency linked to poorer outcomes has been observed for measles infections, as well. and for all I know, a few other viral infections.It may also be that the deficiency becomes apparent during the infection, as the body's reserves are being depleted.Anyway. No need to overdo it and take ten times the daily recommended dose, but yeah. A daily pill in the 400 to 1000 UI range may well do some good and little harm.Spending about 20 min a day under the sun in a sleeveless shirt should do the trick, too. Well, maybe not so much nowadays, it's getting cloudy where I live.
Indeed, megadoses are probably a bad idea, but a person shouldn't be worrying too much about overdoing Vitamin D if one is being reasonable. From the Mayo Clinic site:
"Mayo Clinic recommends that adults get at least the RDA of 600 IU. However, 1,000 to 2,000 IU per day of vitamin D from a supplement is generally safe, should help people achieve an adequate blood level of vitamin D, and may have additional health benefits."
So, Vitamin D should be reasonably safe, should not have any negative health effects, it's cheap, and might save you from COVID-19. The science is still out on that last one, but even if it turns out not to hold up to scrutiny, I don't imagine that 1000 IU or 2000 IU should be a problem for any of us.
Ayman Mohyeldin on MSNBC interviewed a mother today who lost her 20 year old son to COVID. He was an athlete who had just had a physical with no health issues. He may have caught it from his college roommate. Heartbreaking.
People with darker skins also require more Vitamin D. White skin is an adaptation to colder climates with less sun, like northern Europe, just like dark skin offers more protection from sun in hotter climates. Maybe this is one reason why non-white people have a higher incidence of COVID and should be taking supplements.
I take multi-vitamins now, but the relatively sunless Western Washington climate makes me think that a Vitamin D gummy might be a good idea.
Interesting thought about people with dark skin. Gonna do some research!
... "An estimated 40% of American adults may be vitamin D deficient. For African-Americans, that number may be nearly double at 76% according to a new study by The Cooper Institute."
Westmoreland had us divide the number of bullets fired by 15 to get fake body counts when the Vietnamese bodies couldn't be found, which was almost always. Abrams continued the practice.

I must not have been paying attention--how did we get from 15 to 2 million?

It was those damn Antifa rioters with their soup trebuchets
Good advice, been supplementing D for a few years on PCP advice

Souper spreader events.
I work outside and have most of my life. Do I still need a D supplement ? How do you know if you're deficient ?
Talking to a doctor is probably smart. If you're unsure, the Mayo Clinic thar said that 1000 IU or 2000 IU should probably be fine.
