re: Vitamin D

Really very no one on this forum should be at risk for a vitamin d deficiency, unless they have some kind of absorption issue. just a decent diet (or a lovely one with lots of cheese) will be more than enough.

The symptoms of a vitamin d deficiency are kinda vague until your bones just start snapping. Vitamin D plays an important role in the intestinal absorption of calcium, and slightly in the regulation of it within the serum. Too little Vitamin D can lead to hypocalcemia, which in the acute phase can lead to tetany, or overexcitation of the nerves.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvmwsTU0InQ

Too MUCH vitamin D can lead to hypercalcemia. Stones, bones, abdominal groans and psychic moans. Basically you'll just go loving crazy and start peeing out calcium rocks.

As far as supplementation, again, I doubt many people reading this thread are at risk. If I had to guess the reason african americans have lower Vit D levels, it would be because they're generally poorer and therefore don't have as good of diets. Again, everything is poverty but i repeat myself.

If you REALLY think you have low vitamin D, just take a daily vitamin supplement.

vitamin D helps the fluoride in drinking water calcify around your third eye, so a lack of D causes your inner Chi to begin realigning and attempt to reopen the eye. However, since you have a lack of a necessary vitamin, the psychic awakening is limited and not fully articulate

I switched doctors like 5 years ago, and the doctor took one look at my skin and said "you look like you don't get out much" and had me get bloodwork - turns out I had a Vitamin D deficiency from lack of sunlight

$50 on the vitamin D thing being a false correlation. Darker skinned people has less vitamin D from the sun. As do people in dense cities. Darker skinned people and people in dense cities also have higher poverty rates and worse access to healthcare. :thunk:

This is not true. Melanin inhibits absorption of vitamin D from sunlight. People with darker skin living in climates with less sun are at higher risk for vitamin D deficiency. See: The Somali diaspora in Sweden.

People who live a mostly indoor lifestyle (americans, goons, american goons) regardless of skin pigment are very likely to be deficient, and it does appear to be a risk factor with COVID.

So in theory, this thing could die off not because of sunlight killing the virus in the summer, but because of increased Vitamin D absorption from sunlight during the summer

https://www.staradvertiser.com/2020/05/26/breaking-news/hawaii-records-no-new-coronavirus-cases-for-3rd-straight-day/

3 consecutive days with no new Covid cases reported in Hawaii is gonna rile a lot of people up to speed up our relatively glacial reopening plans.

We're talking about reopening to mass tourism as early as July as long as the visitor has a confirmed negative Covid test. I am extremely doubtful of how well that will be enforced. We're gonna get Covid-carrying haoles spreading the roni in our reopened shops and restaurants, so my conservative prediction is that we hit at least 5 new daily cases again statewide by August 15. It'll start blowing up from there, which will permanently destroy tourism in Hawaii forever.

Can't wait!
