It's been around 12 weeks since the Coronavirus erupted on the local scene of where I live in Germany (Wiesbaden).
So today, the statistical numbers came out (up to date, as of 18 May 2020) (remember, this is a metropolitan area of 285,000 people):
- Total infections since day one? 396.
- Total still sick or 'positive'? 68.
- Total dead: 12 (of which almost all were over the age of 70, and most had secondary issues).
- New folks added over the weekend to infections? A total of three.
Why no vast wave? A lot of people chat about this, and wonder. Some think it was dedication to good hygiene practices. Some think it's 'luck'. Some think that vitamin D levels were high in the local population to start with (that's a new rumor), which has zero percent being proven.

Actually there might be something to the vitamin d thing. Check out Joe Rogan's interview with Dr Rhonda Patrick.
I've seen the Rogan interview, and probably spent two to three hours reading on various vitamin D topics. As much as we know on vitamin D....there's probably just as much that we don't know. For example, if you went and reviewed cancer patients...then reviewed their levels of vitamin D....would the majority have a deficiency?
Out in Arizona, the rate of infection within the Navajo nation is now greater than NY City itself. But no one is talking over their vitamin D levels, and if they have a deficiency problem.
Then you focus on Wuhan and ask....since it's highly urbanized and people stay indoors a great deal....do they have a D deficiency problem?
For Germans, if you observe their habits, more than 50-percent spend a minimum of an hour a day in direct sun-light (at least in the non-winter months). Even at beer-gardens...ever noticed how much vitamin D time they are doing, with beer action?
