Researchers have discovered a strong correlation between vitamin D deficiency and mortality rates from the novel coronavirus, a new study reveals.



A research team led by Northwestern University analyzed data from hospitals and clinics across China, France, Germany, Italy, Iran, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.



Patients from countries with high COVID-19 mortality rates, such as Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, had lower levels of vitamin D compared to patients in countries that were not as severely affected, according to the study.



The researchers also found a strong correlation between vitamin D levels and cytokine storm, which is a hyperinflammatory condition caused by an overactive immune system.



"Cytokine storm can severely damage lungs and lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome and death in patients," Ali Daneshkhah, a postdoctoral research associate at Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering, said in a statement. "This is what seems to kill a majority of COVID-19 patients, not the destruction of the lungs by the virus itself. It is the complications from the misdirected fire from the immune system."



For me, this is not new news - it's further confirmation of several scientific papers from day one and throughout the past months

The old lady will be stocking up on this.

In Vancouver people do not care about social distancing anymore.

Young healthy people shouldn't lose sleep over the coronavirus.

Social distancing is stupid. Isolate vulnerable groups and everyone else live their lives as they did before.

Everybody should take vitamin D and end all economic lockdowns.

Wouldn't it be great if it was that easy.

Two Sikh doctors in Montreal have violated their religious law in order to facilitate their wearing masks properly so they can treat covid19 patients.



They have earned my respect.

Ive been thinking about this for a while, at least since near the end of March. One thing a lot of these folks pushing lockdown dont understand, is it will increase suicides. How many deaths will there be from suicide. How much depression. 2020 will become the new GREAT Depression. 2008 was a blip, and yet suicides spiked during that time. Now I am seeing articles on it.....



"The two most replicated, robust factors linked to suicide are economic change — downturn — and social disconnection," says Dr. Roger McIntyre, professor of psychiatry at the University of Toronto. Those two factors are major hallmarks, he notes, of the COVID-19 pandemic."

A report jointly published last week by two foundations that support mental health issues estimates that, unless steps are taken now, the increase in "deaths of despair" from alcohol, drugs and suicide could increase by 75,000 as a result of COVID-19.

There were 130,000 'preventable' deaths in the UK, including 1,000 extra suicides in the 2008 global recession..



That number will be much higher this time as hospitals stop doing treatments and surgeries..



TVG doesn't seem to be in denial about how deadly lock downs are..



Lock downs are killing tens of thousands of people so that healthy young people don't get a week to ten days of dry cough..



I agreed with lock downs at first, but now I see it's pure destructive madness.

I've read about so many of these treatments and vaccines that never seem to happen or are eighteen months away..



I hope this is different this time.

Just posting what is happening. Let's not let ourselves be discouraged / negative



Ones previously mentioned by many of us are not dead - Most are "in the works" ... & being tested



With science going 24/7 now, something or many things good will come of it





Further from the to above article - to put into perspective their approach:



Through further testing, the researchers at Sorrento found that there was one particular antibody that showed to be 100 percent effective in blocking COVID-19 from infecting health cells — STI-1499





Further: The US Govt is funding and working with over 100 firms all directed toward solutions of different types

Further Yet:



As of today - US launches "Operation Warp Speed" which will work with and help fund over 100 viable projects, including some promising ones in other countries



"Whatever it takes to create solutions and expedite clearances"

I still want to read about positive developments..



Perhaps, it's just me, but I get discouraged when none of them ever seem to happen.
