It’s all vibes! Type 1 here for 28 years. You are on the right path here but I think you are missing the “big players” for lack of a better term. The prediction software available now (open source) is quite good and works with different typ

It is not surprising at all that Covid-19 matches what we already know about Vitamin D and Influenza. There are consequences for radically altering the environment in which humans evolved. We were nude outdoors and now we are clothed and in

This study used a tiny amount of Vitamin D (2,00IU/day) which is absolutely not enough Vitamin D to have any affect on someone who is deficient. Going outside in a swimsuit produces 10,000+IU equivalent. We evolved nude, outdoors. htt

You guys are missing the major cost savings while pouring over the numbers. It all comes from empty private jets as loarabia pointed out. Private jets fly empty all the time. This would be additional revenue for the owner/operators of the p
