There appears to be a strong correlation between Vitamin D status and positive COVID-19 outcomes, however, there are not enough data to suggest a mechanism. Perhaps the UV light weakens the virus prior to infection. Perhaps those with higher D levels lead healthier lifestyles.

Vit D, insulin resistance/t2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperglycemia etc are all related to the same thing. A poor diet and sitting on the couch.

You missed Italy. Why’d they fair so poorly?

They must not get outside enough, or maybe they don't eat enough fish or cod liver oil. Their levels of vitamin D are low. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/vitamin-d-covid-correlations-keep-coming-liz-brown/ …pic.twitter.com/J42nJpJRHq
