County Seat of Summit County Colorado is at 10,000’
Letter to the editor: Here’s my theory on Summit County’s low COVID-19 death rate Sept 27, 2021
VitaminDWiki
Colorado has the best UV (and thus best health) in the US
High altitude ==> more ultaviolet radiation from the sun ==> More Vitamin D
Other states have higher UV, but those states also have hot temperatures, so people are not outside as much
Low rates of Breast Cancer
Lowest rate of Diabetes
VitaminDWiki Items in both categories VIRUS and UV:
- COVID and other Virus fought by UV - many studies
- Model discovered: More UV, less COVID (many excellent charts) – Sept 2022
- COVID hospital deaths reduced 2X by 8 days of UVB – pilot RCT May 2022
- UV and COVID: Prevention and perhaps treatment
- 11 percent fewer COVID-19 deaths if lockdowns had allowed sunshine – Nov 2021
- COVID-19 deaths - 30 percent fewer if high UVA (US, etc) – Aug 2021
- 4th highest county in the US has a very low COVID-19 rate (high UV, high vitamin D)
- COVID-19 onset strongly associated with latitude in Europe (Vitamin D)– Jan 21, 2021
- UV provides the best explanation of COVID-19 variation in Italy (74 pcnt) – Nov 2020
- More UVB, less Coronavirus – including SARS-CoV-2 – Aug 2020
- Less COVID-19 at high altitude due to more Vitamin D or other possible reasons – July 2020
- Far fewer COVID-19 deaths in the summer (Europe, Canada)
- High-altitude Cusco, Peru has far lower rate of COVID-19 than others (high UVB and Vitamin D) - June 2020
- Influenza Virus aerosols killed by 10 minutes of sunlight (far faster if use UV-C) – Nov 2019
- Influenza Virus aerosols killed by 10 minutes of sunlight (faster if use UVB, UVCC– Nov 2019
- Ultraviolet light kills cold and flu viruses, and generates Vitamin D in the skin
Of the highest counties in the US the top 21 are all in Colorado
