Link?

If you have Kindle unlimited, read a few of the many books on vitamin D: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=vitamin+d+book

This is a good one:

THE MIRACULOUS RESULTS OF EXTREMELY HIGH DOSES OF THE SUNSHINE HORMONE VITAMIN D3 MY EXPERIMENT WITH HUGE DOSES OF D3 FROM 25,000 to 50,000 to 100,000 IU A Day OVER A 1 YEAR PERIOD by Jeff T Bowles

btw, you dont want to be vitamin D deficient...which I was in the last test and Dr precribed a hammer for 8 weeks

HOWEVER, if you arent deficient and you do a hammer there is chance it can cause an issue with cytokine storm in the midst of a bout of Wuhan. Texags has kind of gone into that a little

You roll the dice when dealing with a cytokine storm no matter what you do.

No link. Texags has gone into it more than once.

Reville (DR) recommends not to be deficient but dont do a hammer.

If you search around you can find the studies. It is controversial. You will see studies come down on both sides of the issue

Since I witnessed it first hand I err on the side of caution. Just like with Elderberry

That’s another problem with reopening that really has not been addressed. Let’s say a 50 year old owns a restaraunt. It’s been shutdown for a month. Its bleed out short term cash. The owner can declare bankruptcy and retire on his personal savings and retirement checks. Guaranteed more or less to have a decent retirement. Or he opens his restaraunt where a month later 2 employees are sick and 12 customers are sick. Now he is facing potential lawsuits from employees and customers. Why take that risk when you can see the government itself is not even providing proper PPE. And there is not proper PPE that I know of that allows eating.

let them fund it then.
Maybe the WHO can explain why the US is charged 10 times that of China and yet they allow China to guide WHO policy:

Coronavirus: US gives 10 times the amount of money to WHO than China

“. “Curiously, the WHO is supposed to make assessments to member nations based on their [gross domestic product] GDP and population size. China and the United States have similar GDPs, and China’s population is four times larger than the U.S. But China’s annual assessments are one-half that of America’s.””

Here is a study..that really means nothing to me.
https://pulmccm.org/critical-care-review/adding-vitamin-d-no-help-in-critical-illness-even-in-deficient-patients/

My orders in my packet for my family are if I am vitamin D deficient then hammer me. If not and I am in a cytokine storm then dont. But I want a hammer of Vitamin C no matter what because I dont care what the studies say.

In fact, If I go the ER I am taking VItamin C with me in case they refuse to give it to me.

Not sure how that will work..if they will give me access to my belongings..but I am doing it anyway.

Isn’t that the flag of ‘Kekistan’? Must be a 4chan supporter there.

Kekistan is a fictional country where Pepe the frog is worshipped. There’s a whole backstory from 4chan.

As far as I am concerned, the WHO is as Evil as China.

There really is nothing worse than human beings who lie. These are the ones who make all bad things so much worse.

I thought that S. Korea, with its extensive testing and tracking regimen and its apparent mask mandate, was able to remain open, with the possible exception of Daegu, where the initial outbreak occurred.

Korea/Italy hit a barrier/floor of around 3 on my daily fatality index. I was expecting the US barrier to be 2 - 3 times higher. We had made it down to 6.49 on the same scale a couple of days ago. So, 6 - 9 on the scale may be the US floor for days, and where we stay until we eventually break lower.

The problem now is the law of exponential growth exerts itself once again, and our number of dead, per day, will rise again. The DFI is the percentage of total deaths we had whatever day the index is calculated for. Last night the DFI was 9.24.

That's 9.24% of over 26,000 total dead to date. And those new deaths are added to the total dead number, and the next day, another 9% or so die, and so on, and so on, until we break through this barrier all countries have experienced.

On the projection above, and all others, I used a DFI of 3, as our floor out of wishful thinking. Let's see how it goes, but somewhere between 6 - 9 is more likely going to be the US floor. And maybe why the projection above is and will be too low in coming days.

Link below. He reviews a bunch of literature on vitamin D. Usually I listen closely to the doc but was just half listening today.

Is that “KEK” as in “LOL” from World of Warcraft?
