So, even the controls were given D3 supplements if they were deficient. That kind of throws the whole study into question.
Well, that turns it into a study that checks if extra vitamin will have an effect, even when there is no deficiency. It doesn't throw the study into question, but it may not apply to what the people on this thread are talking about (what's never clear).
"Our exercise intervention was a simple home strength exercise program, which likely was not challenging enough in our unexpectedly active study population, where over 80% already engaged moderate to high intensity exercise," she said.
I would take anything from this study with a pinch of salt. I doubt if it was a well controlled study.
Still, almost no one knows about it...
Now, I’m not doing that right now, but there’s little reason to think major US carriers aren’t doing what they say they’re doing and if the air change mechanism wasn’t working, you’d see oxygen masks deploying as that’s the mechanism by which the aircraft remains pressurized.
It was nice not being sick for so many months.
2 weeks after they went back. Bam, everyone sick.
And that’s with intense mask rules and distancing
Non-fit homemade and non-rated masks help prevent others from getting sick. But if everyone had access to cheap N95 that actually prevented them from getting sick we'd be a lot better off. The kids would still be getting it and getting everyone sick at home/school because they wouldn't wear them consistently right, but people without kids at home wouldn't be getting sick at nearly the rate. Every bit counts.
If you live in a suburb or further out, basically every major grocery chain does pickup orders.
I order online, drive to the store, and an employee puts the groceries in my trunk. I never go inside.
It's also... free. So anyone with a car(most of us in the USA/CA) can do it.
It's speculative, but I believe the skin cancer risk can be dramatically reduced by making sure you're not getting too much linoleic acid in your diet (note: you really have to try at this, tho -- almost every1 is!).
Here's a study in mice:

Of course, that's not humans, but I think the fundamental mechanisms at play should be the same.
More broadly, this article is interesting, and makes the case for more sun exposure:

This is pretty easy to achieve, even in winter, for us... and is unlikely to "lead to skin cancer"

Where I live I haven't been able to get sun actually on my skin for the last three weeks.
I saw sunshine through the window one day last week while in a meeting, but it was gone an hour later. According to my weather app the next break in cloud is more than a week from now.
Even when there is sunshine in the winter, it's often too cold to expose more than a tiny amount of skin anyway. Please don't assume we all live in California.
Same here, although at least there's sun on weekends for me (if it isn't cloudy). Looking out the window, and being outside on the weekend with a winter hat and long sleeves is probably not allowing a lot of vitamin D.
I'm wondering if there's something like a good lamp that gives UV light without being too strong.

Just because some people want to do it / can do it, it is not the same for everyone.
