COVID-19 increased: 3.5 if Ultra-Orthodox, 2.6X if dark skin (52,000 Israelis) - Sept, 2020

Based on Vitamin D tests were made sometime in the previous 10 years
82% of Arab females had < 20 ng

1.8 X higher risk if <12 ng vs >30 ng - independent of sex, race

Study does not appear to have information on vitamin D levels and

• infection severity (ICU, death, etc)
• asymtomatic
• long-haul, etc.

Note: Those people increasing their vitamin D levels due to fear of COVID-19 would not be representing properly in these charts

Study noted: Recent Vitamin D drops associated with a 20% reduction in COVID-19 infection
Speculated that the drops increased Vitamin D levels in the mouth
VitaminDWiki speculates: inhaled Vitamin D would be even better than drops
