FWIIW vitamin-D level is almost certainly why brown people and nursing home residents are disproportionately dying of Corona-chan.

I mean, nursing home residents are typically older, meaning that they and everyone around them are more susceptible to the disease (meaning it's likely to spread faster and be more deadly). Black and brown people disproportionately work in service jobs where they get exposed to a lot more people; they're also less healthy on average than whites. It seems like there are other very likely causal factors than just vitamin D.

What is corona-chan?

If it exists, there is probably a cute anthropomorphic representation of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBoojBTEPaI
