I guess this is why Arizona has no COVID

Of course, UVA destroys the virus' envelop protein, exposing its RNA which UVA will oxidize.

This really feels like a article encouraged by the Spring Break industry

(forwards article to boss) “Can’t come in this month for preventative medical reasons. I’ll be fishing in the sunshine if you need me.”

Corona Virus is natures stick, wash your hands, be a healthy weight, watch your blood pressure and go outside.
kanemano
oh yeah and don't spit in other peoples faces.
DolphMoonDiver
You mean don't GET spit on by other peoples faces

So do we need to get the UV light INSIDE the body, or...?
rampartfranklin
Yes. Just like Trump said.

They only studied areas with low UVB but did the participants take supplemental Vit D? I’m not seeing in the article where it says they
catsandcoke
had low VitD levels but lived somewhere sunny.

UV is known to kill Covid. In order to say the UVA light is the reason they are less likely to die they really need to be checking bloodwork

for Vit D levels.

I love being outside, so this fits right into my confirmation bias.
skunkaway2000
Always good to lean into that bias ?

Vit D doesn't stop or prevent Covid. It helps the body fight the severe inflammation that Covid brings, potentially preventing secondary (1

From article: "The team says that due to the observational nature of the study, it is not possible to establish cause and effect." WTF
RenegadeBlob
Wait. Are you telling me an extremely complex issue cannot be summarized in a headline!?! (Also, thanks for the TLDR)
ColdestOne
That is pretty basic sciencey statistic rules. The study must be observational because otherwise you'd have to be giving people covid.
rampartfranklin
That makes total sense. Thx.
ColdestOne
Which is unethical. You can never establish cause and effect with only observational studies.
