#1 Best way: get plenty of sunshine as stated.

Next Best: Go to local drugstore, get a 10,000 IU liquid gel, and take that once a week, or 2000 IU gel and take it daily.

IMPORTANT: take Vitamin C & E or eat foods that contain it, it helps with Vit D production and cycling, and take a Magnesium supplement or better yet eat magnesium rich foods:

Magnedium rich foods: (per WebMD and Healthline)

  • Chinook salmon

  • Halibut

  • Atlantic mackerel

  • Atlantic pollock



  • Spinach

  • Swiss chard

  • Edamame

  • Tamarind

  • Potato with skin (Potato skins? Yum)

  • Okra (wonder if includes fried okra)



  • Almonds

  • Cashews

  • Flaxseed

  • Peanut butter

  • Black-eyed peas (cooked)

  • Cooked beans (black, lima, navy, pinto,
  • chickpeas)

  • Soy nuts

  • Tofu

#2 So now you know why Melanin+ people have a problem with illness in general in places where it's not so sunny.

#3 I wonder how Eskimos/First Nation people were affected by this. Their lives matter, too, ya know.

Meanwhile, there were a few stories about American Indians getting hit, but I have not heard a peep about them in many, many weeks.

#6 Been known for a while. Also explains (besides the complete lack of social distancing) why the black community is hit so hard as they have a chronic problem with vitamin D deficiency. Mostly from their shitty ass diet.

#7 Mostly from their shitty ass diet.

#9 You mean no Vitamin D in the hot sauce drenching the pork rinds?

#14 So the trick to getting through this is to make cheese sauce with D enriched milk, spike it with hot sauce, and sit back with a fine cigar, gin and tonic, chips and dip?

Been doing that since college.

#15 I was talking to a friend about this back in April, along with theorizing why New Orleans was getting hit particularly hard despite supposedly being a big seafood town.
