Dear bluebicycle,

That is such good advice. I both exercise and go outside frequently. I think your post is very important. There has been some preliminary research that Vitamin D might have a role in the body's fight against the SARS-COVID-19 virus. The research is very spotty and preliminary at this point but there has been some other limited research on the relation between Vitamin D and the seasonal influenza.

I don't know if this research will stand the test of time. Nor am I a physician or medical professional of any kind. Of course all medical research is subject to caveats and limitations such as type of study, size of study, duration of study, objectivity of study, confounding factors including research arriving at contrary conclusions and how new discoveries affect previous research.

But I think getting outside is generally a good idea for many, many reasons. Exercise, I think, when it is approved by a physician is so helpful to so many aspects of physical and psychological health.

Thanks so much for your post!
