Listen up. CoVid19 is deadly and everywhere in the air and on every surface.  It's in many of us who don’t know we carry it.  If you have it, it's on your breath, in your saliva, and in, pardon, your shit.

If you want to survive and avoid killing your spouse, mother, sister, brother, or your child, do everything to avoid catching CoVid.  Wash hands constantly.  Avoid touching public surfaces.  

Wear the best mask you can buy or make to avoid passing virus to someone else.  Distance from all but those with whom you live.

You’re not immortal!  More deaths do occur where people ignore science and common sense.

A global epidemiological study reveals a significant correlation between lower than optimal Vitamin D levels and both numbers of CoVid infections as well as deaths attributed to the virus.  British researchers focused on data from 20 European countries tabulating published average Vitamin D levels and CoVid statistics from each.

Serum vitamin D levels less than 30 nmol/L are considered deficient.  Such deficiencies were found in Spain (26), Italy (28), and in aging Swiss (23).  

The investigators note that vitamin D supplementation is proven safe and effective.  If you live in an area that is a virus hot spot, get plenty of sun and check your levels.

When composing tweet, texts, and answering surveys, you tend to reveal more private, confidential information on your smartphone than on your desktop computer.  University of Pennsylvania researchers report this conclusion from their analysis of more than 369,00 tweets, nearly 20,000 call-to-action web ads, and 10,000 restaurant reviews.

The investigators attribute this “truth serum” phone effect to our intimacies with these devices.  Because phones often serve as our adult pacifiers, we view them as safe zones.  We all too often lower our defenses and risk our own data security.

This study should prompt us all to be extraordinarily careful with content we provide on social media via the phone.

Here’s yet another reason to wash your hands more obsessively after using any toilet.  Fifty-three percent of CoVid positive hospitalized Chinese patients also had viral RNA in their stool as well as in their nasal and oropharyngeal samples.

CoVid in the gastrointestinal tract was not age-dependent as evidence of virus was found in subjects from 10 months through 78 years of age.  The virus also tends to linger in longer in the GI tract than in the respiratory system and 23% of patients still had positive stool samples when their nasal and oral samples turned negative.

CoVid is everywhere in population-dense cities. Watch out!
