If that were effective in preventing flu, nobody would have the flu except for those who never come out except at night.
The study I referenced in my prior post #8 was based on supplemental Vitamin D, 2000 IU per day, and I think I’ll go with that instead of trusting good ol’ Mr. Sun, thanks very much anyway.

Ok. Good point. I just figured that since many people get low on their vitamin D in winter, perhaps the “low-D” people are more likely to get it. Hence, an extra effort to get outside might be beneficial.
Other question: how much milk/fish/dairy would you have to drink to get 2000 IU per day?
Also, are you suggesting taking that dose every day until the flu crisis passes? Are there any side effects from that dosage?
What is this “sun” thing you people are talking about?
I live on the Oregon Coast:)
“vitamin d” isn’t really a vitamin, is it?.....
