Not even in LA?

No, it's not. But the argument was that TV encourages people to stay inside, which it does. If it's ok for people to go for walks, maybe it is not vitally important that we produce new TV shows right now.
- graeme 6y agoProbably not that much in LA right now. My vitamin D app isn’t letting me change locations, but anywhere north of the 37th parallel gets zero vitamin D in winter, and even places like LA would get much less. Plus people watch TV in the evening. You can’t get vitamin D in the evening. I’m a huge advocate of walks and getting outside! My point is TV is a substitute for socializing, and America needs less socializing now. https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/time-for-more-vitamin-d https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/time-for-more...
