How does #VitaminD prevent complications in severely affected #COVID19 patients (approx. 20% of hospitalized patients develop serious symptoms) by managing the cytokine/bradykinin storm, ARDS, and organ damage? Thread Image
1. Cytokine Storm:

a. Vitamin D decreases the production of Th1 cells. Thus, it can suppress the progression of inflammation through reducing the generation of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, and IL-17.

b. Vitamin D also decreases the generation of TNFα and nuclear factor-κB (NFκB). Moreover, 1,25(OH)2D, a biologically active form of vitamin D, directly inhibits gamma interferon (IFN-γ) and IL-2.

Covid-19: Do many people have pre-existing immunity?

A THREAD compiling 6 major studies on T-Cell reactivity against #SARSCoV2 that provide strong evidence that measuring only antibodies is NOT enough to understand #COVID19 immunity.
bmj.com/content/370/bm… Image
1. @Alba_Grifoni and colleagues have reported SARS-CoV-2-reactive CD4+ T cells in ∼40%-60% of unexposed individuals, suggesting cross-reactive T cell recognition between circulating "common cold" coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32473127/ Image
2. Using the FACS-based method, @KevinWNg and colleagues have demonstrated the presence of pre-existing humoral immunity in uninfected and unexposed humans to the new coronavirus.
