Coronavirus (2021) thread

[True_Blue69]

The tweeter offends me. He's a very grubby person. In terms of Covid, I would also think he is insincere and espouses alt right BS that his backers instruct him to disseminate.

But that particular tweet is ok I assume? Seems pretty reasonable.

Imagine quoting that massive fascist, right wing, bell end when it comes to medical issues, or anything for that matter.

Err it's not a actual person

There is a single person behind it (Paul Staines).

People with lower than average Vitamin D levels are 30% more likely to die sooner than they should.

Time to introduce Vit D into food sruffs

Case numbers are falling and if Zoe is to believed will fall in the days ahead (independently of school holidatys)
Could it be that Whitty & Valance's decision to let it rip in the summer months is the right one?
Current case rate acceleration in Eastern Europe shows it could well be.

But he doesn't write all the content, if you don't like or agree with it don't read it

More good news - details in the other thread.

Hospital patients in England have fallen every day this week to just over 7000.

This is down week to week too - for the first time - after constantly going up for the past month.

Doesn't write it all? You convinced he doesn't control input? Haha.

Thanks for the advice, even though I was not asking for it. Not sure what makes you think I will take advice from someone like you.

I don't follow him on social media or go out of my way to read it. I happen to come across the occasional bits here and there. No issue with people having different views. However, I do when they are offensive. I guess you regularly read his dog whistle racism, culture war shite. Now I know to put you on 'ignore'. Thanks.

It's a pleasure, typical lefty put your fingers in your ears and scream I'm not listening

Evidence for vitamin D as a covid preventative/ treatment is very weak, despite much online hype.

Take it by all means, but don't expect any transformative results. For more general health benefits, quoting from your linked article, " only a moderate beneficial effect in a small proportion of participants in the current study", which is a pretty weak case for foodstuff fortification.

From an epidemiologist with links to the relevant academic studies:

Vitamin D, Covid-19, and the Promise of Immortality

Why vitamin D probably won’t reduce your risk of death to 0%
