davetaylor2112 Sounds decidedly fishy to me...literally): Salmon, Herrying, Sardines, Cod liver oil, tinned tuna. Didn't know what foods were rich in vitamin D till I googled. What would work for vegans, I wonder?
GO OUTSIDE IN THE SUN
Lots of scholarly reviews showing that Vitamin D boosts the immune system, so why wouldn't it help to fight a virus?
its not about surviving the virus with vitamins , its about staying out of its way so you don't get it in the first place , so lockdown is actually helping , fucking muppet.
you can still sit in your front or back yard to get it go for walk
A new study heavily funded by Vit D manufacturers

Now people will try and eat the sun!
here we go...a run on Vitamin D sales!
