[a fool in paradise]

Getting out in the sun every day when we were locked in our homes would’ve helped

That's what Fauci is preaching NOW. Open the windows...breathe fresh air...get some sun.

But I have NEVER heard him say the Sun's Rays and heat kill the virus almost immediately. The little SOB. We're his lab monkeys.

That why I don’t wear clothes outside here.

Course I am very rural and no one can get in with the gate locked all the time 1/4 mile from house.

If you were ‘locked in’ your home north of I-20 before the end of March or later, it wouldn’t have made any difference.

You don’t make D3 from the sun unless it’s 50deg elevation or greater above the horizon.

You don’t make D3 early in the morning or late in the afternoon regardless. Unless you’re near the equator.

That 8am walk? No D3 manufactured at all.

And forget sunscreen, you prevent its manufacture altogether if you wear sunscreen.

Handy link to calculate your D3 producing time for your city or latitude:

‘Solar Elevation’ needs to be 50 or greater or no D3 for you.

Much of the country will shortly be out of the D3 producing season. Locked in? Locked out?...will make no difference.
