There finally is a clinical trial for vitamin d supplements for people who get admitted to the hospital.
The results are.. well quite astounding to me.

Why this took so long to actually have a clinical trial, I don't know> It's extremely cheap, it's OTC, and it seems to be very effective. It also explains a lot of the reasons the vulnerable populations are vulnerable.
So, to me, the new mantra will be
"Wear a mask, social distance, wash your hands, and take your vitamin D supplements .. particularly in the winter"

Oral calcifediol, the main metabolite of vitamin D3, reduced ICU admission from 50% to 2% among Covid-19 patients.
