   It's crazy how many supplements have megadoses of vitamin D. It's relatively easy to get above the normal range, but it's pretty hard to reach toxic levels. You have to take a significant amount of vitamin D supplement for a few months. Still, a good reason to get it from sunshine instead of supplements. You can't overdose on vitamin D from too much sun. Your body will stop making it when it's high enough.

Did I hear you say that some of you front liners will start getting Corona vaccines in November?

Vaccines don't work for everyone either, and are less economical than stepping/crawling/rolling outside for a while. 

 

    If someone is on statin's, being out in the sun probably isn't going to cut it. There is no guesswork involved in that.

   Some will (last I heard). I don't think I will be in the first round. They will be going to people working directly with Covid patients first, and then to ER and emergency medical staff.

I wasnt sure I heard that. So the vacine will be available in November. Of course starting very limited at first,  with those most at risk.

 

Then why is Trump being crucified for suggesting it may be available this year.

 

I am not as you know a Trump can do no wrong zombie, but seems he is right

I would just skip the statin

The residents don't think so, but isn't Statin Island the ignored, denigrated borough?

This article is from last month but it's a very interesting look at why once COVID gets inside our bodies it destroys it. https://elemental.medium.com/a-supercomputer-analyzed-covid-19-and-an-interesting-new-theory-has-emerged-31cb8eba9d63 It's called the Bradykinin Hypothesis. It's a bit long but I think it explains it pretty well in layman's terms. It also talks about why Vitamin D and a few other drugs might be useful.

And next year, when we all look back and realize that covid really hasn't killed all that many folks compared to previous years' deaths, us shutting down our economy is going to really make us look dumber.  0.13% death rate now, isn't it?

 

Gotta respect the disease while not becoming submissive to it somehow.

I got two dead, and one critical for two months running while the family waits and prays in anguish. I'll be sure to let them know it's just not so bad and to cheer up and stop being so submissive...

Glad you took that wrong.  You often do.

The important thing is that this not a free lunch, there is no win win scenario, people have and will die due to lockdowns.

There's no other way to take that statement and similar ones.

Sorry for your shortsightedness.  The basis of my comments had nothing to do with your family nor the suffering you have endured, I assure you.

   Everyone is guessing anyway. Looks like the FDA guidelines have pushed things towards the end of November now.
