My doctor suggested to check my Vitamin D when I was doing a regular physical back in 2019. Turns out I was super low. It was a bit baffling to me, as I don't stay cooped up inside and in the month prior to the physical I'd actually been outside a lot including a week long trip where I spent half of every day hiking. Apparently it's still quite possible to be low with a lot of sunlight.
I started taking 5,000 IU a day, I was up well into normal range by the next year's physical. When I got Covid I took it upon myself to double up the dosage for a couple weeks since I got the idea at those numbers it still wasn't dangerous. Out of the ten or so people in my family that Covid wave went through, the only person that had it easier than me was a 6 year old kid.
