"40% or more of US adults may have a Vitamin D deficiency. Supplementation may offer vulnerable people some protection from #COVID19. Vit D appears to help protect against respiratory infections including w/ viruses such as influenza".

Also a link to the BMJ on Vitamin D and respiratory infections.

Yes, we get almost no natural sunlight in winter, so no Vitamin D. As I've said I take Vit C, D and when it's flu season, some Zinc. So far, fingers crossed, it's working for me. Everyone stay as healthy as you can to avoid this virus!!!
