Question regarding Vit. D and being outdoors:
Would not the benefit of being outdoors depend on degree of cloudiness and, even more, on how “covered” one is? In cool weather, most likely only one’s hands are fully exposed, and the face / head may be partially covered, esp. at temps below 50 deg. F, or even below 60 deg. F on breezy days.
Has anyone reputable studied this / developed specific guidance?
We should be in the low 80’s with mostly to partially cloudy skies the next couple days, so I hope to be out gardening quite a bit, but, after that we are back in the 50’s. (At least he rain is supposed to be overnight B4 the temp. drop.)
Interesting anecdotal account regarding warm temps and disease course.

I would guess it’s the actual average air temperature in the lungs / respiratory that might have some effect, by raising the average temperature of the surface cells?
Granted that one would have to monitor their fever extra carefully to keep THAT from being fatal.
I also caution that one of our family members knows a couple in Central Philippines who both passed away over last weekend, from Covid-19. It is very hot there now. OTOH, these were well off people (both doctors) and were probably in AC most of the time (almost certainly while ill), and may well have had massive exposure.
