The Coronavirus thread.

The doctor in the video suggested darker skinned people should take a supplement as they don't get enough sun, the way I look at it is if taking vitamin D doesn't do any harm and it could help you fight infection why not take it.
I now take it daily.

There is a lot of belief people over here are always a bit deficient in vit d anyway. So its good especially since we are on house arrest

Its good for cardiovascular and surprisingly can improve your sex drive

"Two pet cats have tested positive for coronavirus in New York state, the first pets in the US to contract the infection, say officials "

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-52390769
Knowing the way cats operate, I suspect they infected themselves on purpose to try to wipe out the human race and take over the world

Not until they learn how to operate a tin opener!

Nah - dogs maybe, but cats wouldn't want to have humans in the house all day.

If the government/PHE are recommending taking Vit D to protect against C-19, then that's all the supermarkets/shops/etc running out. Fortunately I have secret supplier

I got a supply of vitamin D but it's 93,000,000 miles away however delivery is lightning quick and free.

Just anecdotally, though, I have had three separate sets of friends living in cities whose cats have died unexpectedly for no apparent reason in the last few weeks.

I bought my partner vitamin D a few weeks ago as she suffered bone pains. This was after something on TV where a leading specialist stated most people in uk suffer this deficiency.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Vitamin D I meant MyQ

For anyone with a serious medical condition, please consult your GP before taking "vitamin D" as it can cause serious side effects and does interact with some medications. Vitamin D3 Drug Interactions - Drugs.com

I'm taking it but will try and get something with d3, rather than D2. I'm on meds for hypertension, stroke and cholesterol! As are many people my age.

I bet a lot more cats (and perhaps dogs) have died from it than reported. We havent got enough tests for people let alone pets

The first human trial in Europe of a coronavirus vaccine has begun in Oxford.

Two volunteers were injected, the first of more than 800 people recruited for the study.

Half will receive the Covid-19 vaccine, and half a control vaccine which protects against meningitis but not coronavirus.

The design of the trial means volunteers will not know which vaccine they are getting, though doctors will.

Elisa Granato, one of the two who received the ***, told the BBC: "I'm a scientist, so I wanted to try to support the scientific process wherever I can."

The vaccine was developed in under three months by a team at Oxford University. Sarah Gilbert, professor of vaccinology at the Jenner Institute, led the pre-clinical research.

"Personally I have a high degree of confidence in this vaccine," she said.

"Of course, we have to test it and get data from humans. We have to demonstrate it actually works and stops people getting infected with coronavirus before using the vaccine in the wider population."

Prof Gilbert previously said she was "80% confident" the vaccine would work, but now prefers not to put a figure on it, saying simply she is "very optimistic" about its chances.

The coronavirus mutated within the volunteer's body creating a new strain of 'zombie apocalypse' virus.

Unfortunately the nurse administering the trial vaccine was eaten by the volunteers

@Covrich We discussed this a few days ago

"I have never seen my A&E department so still, so well-staffed and so uncannily calm. Usually, it’s a frenzy of swishing bodies as paramedics deliver new patients into a soundscape of PA announcements, bleeps and phone referrals. But this week, the “shop floor”, as we like to call it, is eerily quiet. Attendances in A&E departments across the country are down, in some cases by up to 80%."
