True, but I am purposely underfeeding myself during COVID19 and topping up on certain Vitamins, minerals, and protein drinks. I was only 10 lbs overweight and function better at a lower weight. Most who die from the infection are extremely low in D, Zinc, and certain amino acids differing from individual to individual depending on weight along with varying stress levels. Vitamin D may give people with COVID-19 a survival advantage by helping them avoid cytokine-storm when the immune system overreacts and attacks your body's own cells and tissues. Including vitamin D levels which is the negotiator in a COVID19 cytokine-storm as it doesn't suppress the immune system, modulates it, and makes the immune cells less inflammatory. People should be doing tests for vitamins and increasing as needed if low or topping up further in some cases. You can still get sick no doubt... but stats show you have a better chance with stable or slightly higher levels unless medically you can't tolerate the increase.
