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.”

Levels of domain-specific physical activity at work, in the household, for travel and for leisure among 327 789 adults from 104 countries
Date of Publication: November 2020
The study’s objective was to compare the source of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). There is a great variation amongst the population of 104 countries.

Epidemic-Pandemic How to control them
Epidemics-Pandemic control is important. There are many lessons that can be learned. Furthermore, it is important to appreciate that not all events can be controlled the same.
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.
Lancet Infection disease, Published a study:
“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.
Two metres or one: what is the evidence for physical distancing in covid-19?

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.”
