I also wouldn't expect much from giving D3 in a hospital setting since it takes time for D3 supplementation to affect serum levels.

That's why the MATH+ protocol [1] recommends Calcifediol or Cholecalciferol. According to their own review [2] the protocol reduces hospital mortality from 20-30% to about 5%.

Tangential question: How long does it take exposure to sunlight to affect serum levels?

Depends on latitude, season, and melanin, as I understand it
