Correlation studies which focus on one thing also conveniently ignore other variables, such as population density. People comparing Sweden to Britain are comparing apples and oranges. Also, in the case of Italy, there is the issue of increased air pollution in the north, which may play a contributing role. But this is also why any advice from government and WHO "experts" must be taken with a pinch of salt. They're as clueless as anybody else and all of their policies not evidence based, but are based on panic and power grabs. I suspect there is some correlation the case of Vitamin D though. It has long been known of D's role in immune function and people not getting enough sunlight are often inflicted with various ailments. Fresh air has also been suggested for common colds. There is also scant evidence that COVID is a serious transmission risk between people in open spaces. Infection appears to be more prevalent when large numbers of people are condensed in closed spaces, such as public transport, clubs etc. The other elephant in the living room is obesity, which the media don't want to talk about for fear of upsetting or "fat shaming" unhealthy people. If it does turn out to be the case, then all government advice to "stay at home" so far will have been iatrogenic and the government witchdoctors and henchmen are really contributing to iatrocide in those who are vulnerable when they're forcing lockdown rules through violence or fines. The position of lockdowns should be completely reversed and official government advice should be to get out, get sunlight, fresh air and exercise in open spaces. This doesn't need to exclude social distancing rules, although it will probably be difficult to achieve in densely packed cities. Fortunately we have plenty of open space in national parks. Trips out are good for mental well-being and can be educational for kids. More picnics now! The issue with businesses which operate in closed spaces, the restaurants etc, I'm not entirely decided on, but since I believe in personal liberty, it should be ones own decision whether or not they're going to enter these closed spaces and take the risk. Leave it up to the owners and the market to decide their fate. Lockdown is far more damaging than COVID.
