In all fairness to Vitamin D – it wasn’t at least in my mind to be used to cure/treat covid – it is there to build and keep your immune system strong so you don’t get infected and if you did it would help you get through it better. This study notes Vitamin D is not effective in moderate to severe covid. Taking Vitamin D after the fact seems to be a wrong premise. Dr. Fauci takes Vitamin D daily now – not waiting to take it after he gets covid. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2021/02/vitamin-d-not-effective-moderate-severe-covid-study-finds

“a 240-person JAMA study also found that a single dose of vitamin D did not have any significant effect on moderate to severe COVID-19 infections.

The study, published yesterday by Igor Murai, PhD, a Sao Paul rheumatologist, and colleagues, reported that hospital stay was a median 7.0 days for both those in the intervention and the placebo group, and while there were differences up to 8.4 percentage points across in-hospital mortality, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and mechanical ventilation needs, they were all statistically not significant.”

“While this does not detract from the researchers’ final conclusions, they write, "Given the lack of highly effective therapies against COVID-19, except perhaps for corticosteroids, it is important to remain open-minded to emerging results from rigorously conducted studies of vitamin D (despite smaller sample sizes and important limitations of some studies)."”

Not bad stats with only 2558 deaths in US. Mexico fatality rate is very alarming at 8.8%.

NY leads in confirmation and CA leads in death for the US

NY is picking up in confirmation all around NYC. Still LA county leads all counties for both confirmation and deaths.

The center of the country is rather quite – largely due to the cold blizzard and people hunkering down I suspect.

LA continues to improve. Cook IL has done an amazing job since last year peak in Nov/Dec.

US continues to increase administration of Vaccine
