Excellent article and thanks for sharing. The UK’s abysmal performance in handling this virus has been observed world wide. I’m hoping this leads to a complete overhaul of the entire system, but I’m not holding my breath.

PHE are responsible also for the refusal to consider the role of Vitamon D3 in the immune response. They have a stated level of D3 in the blood which is disputed by many immunologists who think it should be multiplied by a factor of 10. The refuse to reconsider, and on the NHS website D3s role in immunity isn’t even stated, their recommended dose is ‘for bone health’. A gang of overpaid slow thinking chatterati bathered together on overgenerous expenses and unwilling to admit anything. They are killing people who clearly lack D3 in sufficient qualtity, whether through age, ethnicity or lifestyle. D3 supplement is avalable and relatively cheap, simply handing it out to all patients would in a matter of weeks show what a difference it could make.
