Covid19: Incentivize Vitamin C
May 11, 2020

Ok, great idea from the amazing Clif High on incentivizing a work force preventative measure against covid-19.

It's cheap. It's simple. It's effective.

Supervisors offer bonus or reward for employees that come to work with high Vitamin C levels. To do this we would need an easy test: saliva or finger prick?

Easy testing, similar to drug tests. Employees manage the process themselves. They go out and buy vitamins (ascorbic acid or whole food) of their choice and take as needed.

Same process for military, for healthcare, for gov and education. Everyone benefits.

This came mainly from C!if High's Wu-Han Covid-19 analysis.

It is also possible that the west coast of the United States has a lower covid-19 infection/death rate (to date) compared to the east coast. One possible reason is high sunshine levels (vitamin D) and health orientation. A higher percentage of people actively supplement with vitamins and minerals. Same analysis for Italy and China. In general, Chinese and Italians don't usually supplement as much as US west coast. Is this a possible factor accounting for the difference in the infection/death rates? We wait for more data...

Vitamin D is good too!

Best natural source for vitamin D is Cod Liver Oil (with lemon flavor). Be aware that synthetic vit D has cautions. Read more.
