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."


Dr. John Cambell provides detailed breakdown of the study #Sydneylockdown #nswlockdown #WearAMask
Also Ireland put forward four recommendations regarding Vitamin D supplementation

@MrKRudd @MichaelWestBiz @friendlyjordies page 12 of the report I've linked above is of particular concern re: Vitamin D deficiency and the current Sydney lockdown. Supported by the recent study from Jude et al. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34139758/
The manuscript for the study from Jude et al. has been accepted by the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism academic.oup.com/jcem/advance-a…
Finland has been supplementing Vitamin D since 2003 as it is, like Ireland, sun poor, so the population cannot create enough vit D through sunlight. @MichaelWestBiz @MrKRudd @friendlyjordies #nswlockdown #sydneycovid
Both studies (from the Irish Govt and Jude et al.) found that for serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D)
Deficient = less than 25 nmol/L (10 ng/ml)
Insufficient = 25-50 nmol/L (10 to 20 ng/ml)
Sufficient = greater than 50 nmol/L

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…
The Irish Gov now recommends Vitamin D supplementation as they found Vitamin D deficiency, less then 50nmol/L, results in higher instances of hospitalization

This has been supported by a further study by Judy et al. Those with less than 50nmol/L of Vitamin D are more likely to be hospitalised #Sydneylockdown #covidnsw
