@eladar saidBut if your correct and your not why is Brazil losing so many souls, their equatorial by the way.
I am surprised by how little people know about the links between the immune system, vitamin d and vitamin d production by the skin.
It is 80 degrees F, I must be able to make vitamin d! Wrong
UVB makes vitamin d and UVB does not produce heat.
Everyone knows that vitamin d is a good thing but it’s not a magic bullet and to advise people to forget the corona virus because if it is murderous.

@kevcvs57 saidLook at their UV ratings. They are mostly darker skinned people so they do not make vitamin d as easily as light skinned people.

Seriously, look up the UV ratings. You only get UVB when the rating is high.
Your ignorance bleeds through every statement you make.
Next thing you will say is but it is warm!

How can we ever survive a virus that kills on average 10 to 20 people in each state each day!?!?
How can we survive? It is killing mostly 65 year olds and older like typical flu, but this is not a flu because it is a flu that nobody has had yet!
But wait, now people have had it, so is it a flu now?
@eladar saidIs what's happening to humanity right now just a source of entertainment to you?

@kewpie saidWhat is happening is next to nothing.

What is entertainment is the hysteria media is whipping people into.
Surely you remember the Hong Kong Flu. They were stuffing dead bodies in trucks back then too. Yet somehow people survived without any of this crap.
Seriously, about 15 people a day die in each state. 15 people out of millions.
@eladar saidIt could be the common cold or flu. There is no specific test for the SARS2 virus.
I am seeing story after story about how the number of corona virus cases are going up, up, up. But the number of deaths? Oh, no mention of that at all.
The US has many, many, many hospitals. If say Houston Texas hospitals are full, why not send patients to hospitals in Sugarland or other surrounding large cities?
All this stuff is hype.
Oh no, a virus! It is a virus! How can humanity survive a virus?
Here’s the problem, we are testing people for any strain of a Coronavirus. Not specifically for COVID-19. There are no reliable tests for a specific COVID-19 virus.
@eladar saidIn fact probably all Europeans around know About Vitamin D.

But please cite a study that any Level of Vitamin D is shielding from the Virus.
And you might alos look for over-exposure. All Things in the Body Need to be in an Equilibrium. Too much of something which is good can have negative effects. Overexposure is only possible with orally given Vitamin D, but some People will jump on "silver bullets"...
@Eladar
Vitamin D will help but only so far, the virus can cause an immune explosion even in folks with full D load. BTW, going overboard with D doesn't do a BIT of good, you get best benefit from a couple thousand units a day and if you take 10,000 units you just poop it our or pee it out. Like vitamin C, 1 gram a day is way more than enough and then you just pee out the excess.
@eladar saidMy sister and her nurse friend sent some blank swabs for testing recently. They came back positive for corona virus. You tell me.

@kquinn909 saidYou better make this information available to media with the approbriate evidence and then see what happens.

@metal-brain saidRT-PCR looks for the RdRp gene which is specific to SARS-CoV-2 [1]. The British government specifically make the claim that the test developed by Public Health England can detect the presence of any coronavirus and whether it's SARS-CoV-2 or not [2]. It's not the only test that can do this.

@Eladar
Your empathy rating is right up there with your god king Trump. ZERO.
1,000 a day + dead and you think no big deal.
58,000+ new cases a day now in the US. 2 days of that and it equals the ENTIRE case load in Canada, now 3 MILLION with C19 in the US.
Yep, just another flu, bound to go away not that it is the middle of July and all that UV is streaming off the sun......
