| For anyone who keeps an open and enquiring mind, there's an interesting article in The Australian, "From Inquirer - April 28, 2020" about sunlight and Covid (seems to be behind a Paywell). Extracts include:- "Rachel Neale did her PhD in skin cancer prevention and has done plenty of research into the dangers of sunlight...........In Neale’s review, which encompassed 78,000 participants, it was found that those with low levels of vitamin D — the “sunshine vitamin” — were almost twice as likely as those with high vitamin D levels to get the type of extreme lung infections that now are killing COVID-19 sufferers, and they were even more likely again to be sicker for longer...........Neale was speaking before US President Donald Trump weighed in with his comments last week about disinfectant and ultraviolet light being used to combat the virus. And, as bizarre as it may seem, there is reason to think the President is on to something, at least as far as the sunlight goes." Nothing particularly decisive yet, but as Trump clumsily put it, they're "looking into it." 😁 https://www.theaustralian.com.au/inquirer/sunlights-role-in-containing-the-coronavirus/news-story/ea0104fac291d253e4fd6b06629ab74b |
