A viewer asks: “Could the protective effects of vitamin D against COVID-19 be the reason behind governments deliberately limiting access to beaches and the outdoors in some locations?”

Unfortunately, this is actually the case. It is very healthy to be outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine if the latter is available, but even with cloud coverage there will be effects of sunlight coming through that will benefit a person to some degree and will be health promoting. This will reduce likelihood of COVID-19 infection and severity both, depending on an individual’s makeup, their vulnerabilities, and the length of exposure to the outdoor environment. So there is no way to quantitate the benefits because it will be highly variable on all these many factors, not to mention the timing and degree of exposure to the virus and the size of the inoculum their immune system must cope with. But in general, time outdoors should be encouraged, not discouraged, and the fact this is not being done is the consequence of mind control manipulation of government officials to simply focus on the potential for violations of social distancing. If you look at a picture of people in a park or on a beach, they will be in aggregates, small groupings, but these are not strangers coming together and potentially infecting one another, they are typically family groups having a time in the out of doors and congregating together to enjoy the experience with those with whom they are safe. So this is not a wholesale disregard of government edicts at all, but simply an inner manipulation and turning a blind eye to alternative explanations, that hazards are being created through allowing people freedom of movement, and this is truly not the case. By and large, most people are maintaining the social distancing recommendations and guidelines even when at play in parks and on beaches, but they know who they are safe with and who they may not be and will aggregate together within a safe group like a family unit who live together continually for whom there is no reason for social distancing from one another. So this is one of many examples of manipulation to worsen things and make people suffer more than need be while trying to cope with the pandemic.
