Look the data. 18 March 2020. It was obvious to me then as it is obvious to me now: they overblown the response to the virus to epic proportions. And now they can not backpedal without HUGE political repercussions..
BTW, the majority of deaths happen in Nursing Homes and Residence for Old people. This because these types of patients are already weak and Vit.D deficient to an extreme level. In fact studies shown how an preventive / very early (and aggressive) supplementation of Vit.D markedly improve the outcomes of the infection in a very large number of patients. Vit.D is a overlooked emergency, as something like 70% of the population is deficient or very deficient and older it gets worse it is.
This make the point a lot of elderly (and even normal people) should get more Vit.D (supplements) not just for the bones but for a lot of other reasons (better immune system, less depression, etc.)
Illogical. Sunny countries get plenty vitamin D always,abundantly. Northern nations get very little,almost none. Nobody has enough of it here, way less. Yet death rate is 5-10 times less in most northern states thsn places like Italy,Spain,France ,Portugal etc
Nobody needed vitamin D supplements for 2.5 million years of human history now, all of a sudden last few decades you need it? Haha..nope. only weaklings or some nolifers who never leave the house ever( my 4 grandparents all in their late 90s,as well as their siblings all alive in their late 80s and 90s,all alive and go out daily ,jogging and into park,cafes( open here) during day time. So yeah, excuses make no sense.
Look at the details, as the devil is in the details (and many other places).
The people in Nursing Homes is near always inside. Rarely there is Vit.D supplementation and when there is pitiful. In the modern age people lives and works mainly INSIDE during the day, so they are exposed to a lot less sunlight. From my knowledge, northern countries have policies of fortifying food with Vit. D and they are not shy of supplementing. In Italy it is not so. Also, more old people gets, less Vit.D they are able to produce. And in Italy and the other countries, healthcare is pretty shitty. Many doctors are bounded to the dictate of the government agencies about what and when use drugs.
The supplementation was really not needed until very recently (say a century or two) because men (and women) worked a lot outside their home, under the Sun. This allowed them to build up Vit.D in Summer and store it in fat. During winter they would burn the fat and free Vit.D. And they were much more leaner. Not today. There is less Vit.D produced, but more fat to capture it. and in winter people rarely lose fat and free the stored Vit.D.
Reality is much more complex than most people realize and accept.

That's true, if you are young and healthy the risk is minimal. Just don't ask what "illness" means in this context. It includes such silly things like high blood preassure and overweight.
My children cannot go back to school even though the Oregonian lists itself only has one person under 20 who died from this, and the poor boy had Leukemia. So
You wrote so many lies and so much bullshit wow. No. Food in northern eurooe doesnt add vitamin D into it,lol. No different than food in italy. I live in nothern Europe, no such shit. And for 2+million years you had no healthcare dude, you also had no cancer until 19th century basically, and even then minimum,and lung cancer basicalky from smoking only and factiry workers with that smoke( issues no longer present when working at factory). Italians are fricken obese whakes, like 3/4 of them, young people too,not just old. So of course such blobs will be ill. Yuck. I've been to Italy , i've seen the people,dude. Nothing has changed health wise in my country, same as a century ago, and we have our national statistics and rates to prove this. In fact we live longer lives and remain active much longer too now. You get lots of sun in italy each say. You get like 4-5 hours of sunlight from dusk to dawn fully here in winter. We work too , and yet we dont take supplements of vitamin D( unless it is some 100yr old kbviously who may need it, then again who cares at that age,i wouldnt if i was 80 even lol) Onoy complete lard buckets and lazy swines dont exercise regularly to stay fit. My grandparents are all in their 90s now, very fit and healtht,always exercised,still do!!! Your excusesare disgusting,laughable and pathetic!
You just proved my points,as well as the fact you dont know jack shit about northern europe or our food lol. Making up shit as you go along. And fat slobs not working out? Hit the gym, fatasses! Or exercise at home for Fs sake .
Your country clearly needs more hard work and less gluttony with your endless pasta and bread and wine and shit. Eat an apple, lose 20 or 50 kilos, most need to from what I saw. A bit of hunger would do such countries a lot of good lol
