They ran tests but did not give me any medication. They were using remdesivir at the time but negative reports were coming out about it. I didn't get back to normal for over a month, very weak.

Anyway, I had been taking more than the average dose of Vitamin D all along to try and protect against Covid, plus extra zinc, and have been taking D for many years. Sure, it might help and people should not be deficient in Vitamin D, but I doubt that it's going to create miracles. The doctors told me the best protection is to stay in good shape and they could tell that I exercise almost every day. Although I still got hit badly, worse illness I've ever had. When I was a teenager I had the Hong Kong Flu, and that was also brutal, killed a lot of people.

Did you have your vitamin D levels checked before you got Covid?
