Getting a bit outside of my core understanding but is this then why it does not seem to do well in warm areas? So people thought it was the disease not liking to live in heat but really it’s the lack of D that is allowing it to thrive in the body rather than the cold or lack of heat outside. Is that the idea?

Of much greater interest to me, what do you make several places now including California and the latest being New York showing antibodies in as many as 20% of the population? More and more studies in a variety of locations seem to be starting to show this. If true it means for sure the death ratio is far far lower than thought and far far far more have been infected with no symptoms. Of course the number dying is still more than many viruses but rather than a 1 or 2 % death rate it may be one tenth of one percent. Any thoughts?

The more this all goes on and the more we find out the clearer things start to get. Right or wrong things are also clearly starting to slowly re-open both over seas and in parts of the USA. If 1/5th are already immune with antibodies that won’t mean the infections will climb as much. By me many insisted that in person voting at an election now 18 days ago would cause a spike in hospitalizations and deaths. Now that enough time has passed, we see that never happened. Hospitalizations here have gone down for nearly two weeks now - just in time for the overflow hospital to open tomorrow - to no patients. Meanwhile the largest hospital laid off 7,000 staff today. This is amazing to watch. Anyhow now I’m rambling. Just wanted to see if I was following things accurately.
