Sunlight produces vitamin D which is inside the body. A Freeper’s post claimed there’s been no severe cases that had adequate vitamin D. And then the vast majority of deaths — maybe close to all — are unhealthy, fat, diabetic, etc. The death rate for children under 4 is almost 0 and nearly all show no symptoms when they get it. This is a VERY WEAK VIRUS.
Yes. You are right.
I was being facetious. Flippant.
However, in my defense, the author did not proceed to the Vitamin D part. His point was merely that sunlight kills the virus. I found his bare idea was flippant.
“Sunlight produces vitamin D which is inside the body.”
That’s true, but various studies have shown that it’s very difficult to achieve therapeutic levels of D from sun exposure alone. One study of lifeguards found that virtually none of them achieved a level of at least 50 ng/ml. Sunscreen, genetics, age, etc. all impact production of D. Supplementation and periodic testing help assure that therapeutic levels are reached and not exceeded.
