👉 The Delta strain is here. It is highly transmissible.
👉On Jul 9, in NSW we had 43 cases in hospital (10 people in intensive care, 4 requiring ventilation).

The delta strain is highly infectious. Young people are ending up in hospital. You just never know when, where, & how you'll come into contact with it.

Mathematically the delta strain has an R0 of at least 5 meaning it's an exponential problem that should have been nipped in the bud two weeks ago. abc.net.au/news/2021-06-0…

This peer reviewed study recommends that people increase their vitamin D intake to decrease the likelihood of hospitalization due to Covid. Supplements may be required to cover for people's lack of sun exposure #wearamask #Sydneylockdown #nswlockdown

Consult your GP regarding any health advice/concerns - not some guy on the internet 👍
Conclusions from the study: "Vitamin D deficiency is associated with higher risk of COVID-19 hospitalisation. Widespread measurement of serum 25(OH)D and treating any unmasked insufficiency or deficiency through testing may reduce this risk."
