Trump himself is Vitamin D.

Kidding aside I thought D was mainly for prevention?

Not prevention, maintaining good Vitamin D levels simply makes the virus much less dangerous if you do catch it.

Note: This is true for all of them. Vitamin D bolsters your immune system and helps it fight foreign entities.

That's why the UK is so fucked. They don't get enough vitamin D. Too many clouds overhead

UK is fucked because too many lazy fatties...

We literally banned bikini models (real, actual human beings) from ads because they promote an "unobtainable body image".

That's a Muslim mayor imposing Sharia law.

Hey, even fatties like women in bikinis. Some could argue even more than people who aren't.

I'd bet that's just a part of the same "DON'T OBJECTIFY WOMEN" BS that happens in the states

How can it be possible to have a society in western civilization which is able to ban such things?

This may also be why darker skinned folks tend to get it worse. Melanin blocks the absorption of the D.

Are you sure? Cause the press would say it's due to virus discrimination. /s

Here's the publication: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960076020302764?via%3Dihub

Here's an article about the publication: https://covid.us.org/2020/09/03/new-study-vitamin-d-reduces-risk-of-icu-admission-97/

Extremely important: this isn't just Vit. D that's studied, but Calcifediol, a precursor compound to a larger amount of Vit. D compared to other supplements.

The main takeaway is that the Calcifediol treatment reduces ICU admissions. This isn't only COVID-19 prevention, but also easier remission.

Thanks for the sources. Aha, so Vitamin D (as we know it) is indeed mainly for prevention, as it usually takes a week to get the "good effects" -- so for treatment, it's HCQ, zinc, zithromicin, and CALCIFEDIOL

The reason for giving this type of vitamin D is that the usual supplement type takes about 7 days to turn into calcifediol, so by giving patients calcifediol itself, you get the good effects without having to wait 7 or so days
