Just remember, your students at OSU are adults who need to think and act on their own accord.

Just a theory, but has legs.

Interestingly, Jacobson’s team also suggests "vitamin D as a potentially useful Covid-19 drug. The vitamin is involved in the RAS system and could prove helpful by reducing levels of another compound, known as REN. Again, this could stop potentially deadly bradykinin storms from forming. The researchers note that vitamin D has already "been shown to help those with Covid-19. The vitamin is readily available over the counter, and around 20% of the population is deficient. If indeed the vitamin proves effective at reducing the severity of bradykinin storms, it could be an easy, relatively safe way to reduce the severity of the virus.
Get out in the sun folks and get a nice summer tan!

the sun is one of the best sources of this nutrient.

Your skin hosts a type of cholesterol that functions as a precursor to vitamin D. When this compound is exposed to UV-B radiation from the sun, it becomes vitamin D.

In fact, sun-derived vitamin D may circulate for twice as long as vitamin D from food or supplements (1Trusted Source).

However, the amount of vitamin D your body can make depends on several variables.


Skin tone and age
People with darker skin need to spend more time in the sun to produce vitamin D than those with lighter skin. That’s because darker skin has more melanin, a compound that can inhibit vitamin D production (7Trusted Source).

Age can have an impact as well. As you get older, vitamin D production in your skin becomes less efficient

Geographical location and season
The closer you live to the equator, the more vitamin D you’ll be able to produce year-round because of your physical proximity to the sun’s rays.

Conversely, your opportunities for adequate sun exposure decreases proportionally the farther away from the equator you live

Sunscreen and clothing
Certain types of clothing and sunscreen can hinder — if not completely block — vitamin D production (1Trusted Source).

While it’s vital to protect yourself from skin cancer by avoiding overexposure to sunlight, it takes very little unprotected sun exposure for your body to start producing vitamin D.

Although there’s no official recommendation, sources suggest that as few as 8–15 minutes of exposure is enough to make plenty of vitamin D for lighter-skinned individuals. Those with darker skin may need more time


2. Consume fatty fish and seafood
Fatty fish and seafood are among the richest natural food sources of vitamin D.

3. Eat more mushrooms
Mushrooms are the only completely plant-based source of vitamin D.

4. Egg Yolks
Egg yolks are another source of vitamin D that you can easily add to your routine.

5. Eat fortified foods
Because few foods naturally contain high levels of vitamin D, this nutrient is often added to staple goods in a process known as fortification.
Some commonly fortified goods include:

• 
  
  
  • cow’s milk
  • plant-based milk alternatives like soy, almond, and hemp milk
  • orange juice
  • ready-to-eat cereals
  • certain types of yogurt
  • tofu

6. Take a supplement
supplement may be the best way to ensure adequate intake.

Vitamin D exists in two main biological forms — D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). Typically, D2 comes from plants and D3 from animals (15Trusted Source).

Research suggests that D3 may be significantly more effective at raising and maintaining overall vitamin D levels than D2, so look for a supplement with this form

With all this info, some of which healthcare professionals have advised against taking or using are we making ourselves more suseptible to getting the Rona?
We are told that egg yolks will kill you, getting a summer tan will kill you, and so on.
This was an interesting link. I love shrooms, eggs, fatty fish and get a dark tan every summer.

I think I'm good to go with the egg yolks, fortified milk, and walking the dogs 3 or 4 times a day - rain or shine. I get lots of sun on lawn mowing days, too. I'm also in the process of reducing my statin drug dose by half.
