This. This is what we should be looking into. As well as wearing a mask.
I believe that the WHO is (except for their very legitimate concern about panic buying) wrong in not pushing for these measures. Which, from an epidemiological point of view, make a lot of sense.
If taking Vit D can make the mortality, let's say, even 10% lower in the most (would be) critical cases, it is definitely worth it. Wearing a mask reduces R. Even if it's a crappy mask, the value of R will be reduced. Heck I believe a lot of countries would be in a less critical position if people would just wash their hands or use sanitizer.
Sure, not everybody can have the MMR or the BCG vaccine right now, so it might be better to wait a bit more.
