Can you imagine the thoughts going on in these people on their death beds. Fully aware there is a vaccine and there's nothing that can help them now, if only someone had thought of THEM, helping THEM. I know this doesn't really help anything. It's just super sad. I do feel it daily. Unfortunately too part of the problem is so little actually helpful information is being distributed. What your average Joe hears is 1. death count - useful. 2. Vaccine - useful up to a point - they won't be able to get it for a while. 3. Wear a mask - useful. I think beyond this we need to make sure people know that: 1. Most cases are because of contact with asymptomatic people (AND Before that one HN person replies with that doesn't exist - it absolutely does - antibody tests are also confirming this) https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/20/health/cdc-coronavirus-spread-asymptomatic-website-wellness/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/20/health/cdc-coronavirus-spread... 2. Vitamin D is NOT your Trump conspiracy cure. It actually works and is backed up by 2 gold standard studies. We don't have more research in this area because no one is funding it. There are many other studies (not randomized/placebo) but ones looking at old people that were already previously taking vitamin D (because of their existing regimen before the pandemic) with massively better outcomes. Someone posted this link that does a nice job summarizing: https://vitamin-d-covid.shotwell.ca/ https://vitamin-d-covid.shotwell.ca/

Vitamin D is healthful (even outside of COVID), and many many people do not have adequate Vitamin D, and a person with COVID will most likely fare better with adequate Vitamin D than not. That doesn't make Vitamin D a cure or and end to the pandemic.

  Totally, but the research in that link is suggesting that death rates would drop dramatically. I don't know what they're doing in the hospitals, but the research points to a helpful direction.
