Association Between Vitamin D and Novel Sars-CoV-2 Respiratory Dysfunction – A Scoping Review of Current Evidence and Its Implication for COVID-19 Pandemic
Date of Publication: 2020
Vitamin D deficiency may cause immune dysfunction. Therefore Novel_Sars-viruses have an easier time causing respiratory injury.
Short term, high-dose vitamin D supplementation for COVID-19 disease: a randomised, placebo-controlled, study (SHADE study)
Date of Publication: 2020
“A greater proportion of vitamin D-deficient individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection turned SARS-CoV-2 RNA negative with a significant decrease in fibrinogen on high-dose cholecalciferol supplementation.”
Does vitamin D deficiency increase the severity of COVID-19?
Date of Publication: 2020
to paraphrase the authors:
“If vitamin D does, in fact, reduce the severity of COVID-19 then supplements would offer a relatively easy option to decrease the impact of the pandemic.”

Association between mobility patterns and COVID-19 transmission in the USA: a mathematical modelling study
It appears that one of the reasons that we have not been able to control the Covid-19 epidemic in the US is because we move too much. If we just stop traveling and socializing and wear a mask, we can ( and should have been able to) curb the exponential growth and spread of the virus. As of the publication of Blog, there are over 246,000 deaths in the US due to the Coronavirus.

“Association between mobility patterns and COVID-19 transmission in the USA: a mathematical modeling study.”
It provides additional information on how social distancing is s important in the control of this very deadly and real epidemic.

The information of how safe we need to maintain to avoid COVID-19 transmission needs to be studied in detail.
Eventhough virus RNA was found on surfaces, none were thought to be able to transmit disease.
The larger droplets traveled farther compared to the smaller droplets. This was due to the increase drag on the smaller droplets.
“Breathing out, singing, coughitng and sneezing generated warm moisr high momentum dropplets. These travel faster that the typical backgrund air ventilation flow.”
