A few more points that molly was not aware of. There were volunteers who went to the pharmacy for meds and delivered food to those over age 60 and to those at risk unable to go out and to those in quarantine. I was even given a new $25 phone charger. They were lifesavers! Also today in israel it was announced that igg antibody which provides passive immunity to the one recieving it, was administered to a patient whose lungs had turned white, and for whom ecmo didnt work. The patient is recovering now in haddasah hospital. This is the 1st time this treatment has been tried in any hospital. Its not plasma therapy
I loved this interview. I learned so much about ISREAL that I never knew! Also, I grew up in Connecticut like Molly and moved out to a foreign country: Texas. Totally different culturally and politically😆
Great interview! You are a great interviewer who listens and is interested! Molly is articulate, aware, well-informed, and absolutely a love! Many good wishes to both of you, and as Molly said, Peace!
Great interview! Mali is intelligent, well-informed and explains everything well. Also, I appreciate the message of not politicizing the coronavirus. Wish America would listen to that! Also, very much appreciate your ending message of peace.
I live in israel and wish to add a few pts. Concerning vit D everyone is tested for vitD during routine blood tests. Doctors tell patients is they need more vit d. I know 2 people whose doctors told them to take it. As of tonight there were 459 new cases discovered in the last day. The cases are going up and some areas of tiberias and other places are on 1 week lockdown The new cases seem to be young people. There were some people who were young and terribly ill before but mainly older people I was tested for covid 19 without having a fever and no contact with someone who had it Am trying to get the antibody test The cases started rising as they opened too quickly. It started in schools. Kids and teachers should be tested before going back to school , not just after cases discovered. I am older and living alone. Spent passover alone
Im in israel also, ididnt know our vitamin d is checked. Thanks. Yes cases going up in israel. The opening wasnt done well. Atleast now we have fines for not wearing masks in public places. Im older, have been alone since early march. Some things israel did better.
To get the antibody test its supposed to be available to those taking blood tests thru their health plan. However my doctor couldnt find the test listed under my meuchedet health plan so i couldnt take it
Thanks Dr John & Mali for another valuable interview, much appreciated! 👍 Always good to get a perspective from different countries... Wish Isreal all the best in fighting CO-19.
It's always better to listen to a normal citizen of a country rather than someone from the government, it provides with more accurate information on the ground.😃
Except she isn't a normal Citizen. She lives in illigal settlements of west bank which is not part of israel but Palestine from where native Palestinians are forced out to make way for the master race. She is de facto a war criminal.
still watching to the end. I was in Israel in 1964 working on a kibbutz in Ein Gev. It was a wonderful experience. Interviewing very interesting people from all around the world is fascinating and makes me think we are all going through Covid in a similar ways, finding out what works and what doesn't . Brings the world closer together in some respects. Thank you for doing this John. I was a nurse too.
Thanks for another interesting exchange from different parts of our planet! Mali is compassionate and has a bright spirit. Peace and good health to everyone!
I looked after quite a few Holocaust survivors during the 90s. They would tell so willingly, to this ignorant young English nurse, the most incredible stories. Their loss is an unimaginable tragedy and it's the responsibility of those of us who heard them, to ensure their stories never die.
Israel did a great job with the covid-pandemic. They were the first to use the word pandemic. They proactively produced high quality masks, helped NewYork and many other countries in the heat of the fire, They were very quick operational simply by Changing parkinglots into an underground hospital. They only had to rewire the place. They helped out Italy at an early stage. An airplane from Qatar carrying humanitarian Goods for Gaza was admitted to land in Ben Gurion. ElAl kept on flying helping others... and all of this was not in the western media. 👍
I watched the entire interview - most interesting to hear about Israel, especially how they have concern to take care of their parents and grandparents. Here in the UK we don' t have that so much, people seem a lot more individualistic, and that makes asking them to be community minded quite difficult for the government. As a grandparent, I have missed my 3 year old granddaughter the most, but all 3 of my sons have been compliant with all the measures - truly concerned to keep infection away from me and their Dad. Now that we can have socialisation again, outside , keeping distance, it is bearable. We cannot yet hug and kiss ( very hard for me!) but at least we can be together again. I am puzzled as to why it's ok to be thinking about opening up pubs, but somehow I can't have my family in my own home. I feel there is very little risk for any of us in meeting up again indoors, but huge risk to go out and be in a cafe or pub, or even in a shop where masks are not mandated. For those of us who have been compliant, the risk from gathering in one home together must be practically zero.
@carol you make such a very good point. I am much more comfortable increasing my "bubble" gradually and carefully with a small number of people who I know, in an environment I can control, then going to a public place with strangers like a pub or restaurant. Very odd "public health" priorities.
I'm happy my one son who lost his job as a restaurant chef was able to get a better position in the nursing home where his Bubby (grandma) lives. He visits her every day he works and gets tested every other week.
In Israel we had an early and pretty strict lockdown. But it took the ultra-orthodox community many weeks until they started complying with the new rules. For this reason they were the most affected group. But the overall impression is that even amongst them, no real catastrophy has ever happened; There has been only 300 dead overall - nothing like the awful pictures we've seen from north Italy at the time. So, many people think now that this pandemic was exaggerated in the first place in order to intimidate the public or serve the current controversial government. There is also a claim that the current surge in cases is in large part the result of abundant testing - At the start of the pandemic, test kits were scarce, so that many asymptomatic carriers of the virus were not known to contract it, but this time such carriers can easily be tested and are counted as covid-19 patients when in fact they are not really sick. I very much hope they are right...
SisterRay100 in northern Italy the virus circulated since November and it was only detected in February when it had already spread to a huge amount of people. Most probably in Israel it arrived much later hence it had not spread as much when public health measures were taken.
Thank you both! This reaffirms and validates my beliefs on many levels. Respect cultural values and communicate essential information swiftly in the appropriate manner for that culture. 💞👏🤲
@Grozaaïmid And did you not realise that repeating the same thing over and over again like that weakens whatever message you were trying to put across? We heard you the first time. But congratulations on learning how to copy and paste. Well done.
This is one of the most fascinating interviews you've done Dr.John. I wonder if it would be fair to say cultures with a great deal of love for their elders are the ones who have dealt with lockdown difficulties more easily? Or should I say more willingly?It's just so, so refreshing to hear!
Anna Twink yes ..feel sad about how it was mooted ...at least at the beginning in the UK that old and sick people were the only ones who got it badly and young people often didn’t seem to care ..or large numbers of them ...even sadder is Sweden’s policy. In the Far East the elderly are respected and would be protected as such...I think as it went on..at least from a government level more care was given to the elderly but still so many young breaking lockdown and of course mass gatherings at the protests ..
It is sos helpful to hear how other countries are doing with this virus yet sad and maddening to be in a country (as the US) to know that the Covid-19 pandemic has been so politicized that harm is being brought to the inhabitants of those countries. Way too many people are dying needlessly. My hope is that the International legal community will shin a light on those countries that have caused serious harm to their citizens by using the pandemic for political gains.
Covid is solved surely with a mask. Not perfectly, but surely. It is also surely, I read it, that God's own intent with this heavy virus that weighs on all in the world, that we control our speech and stop poison speech, stop bad mouthing each other. So God presents the cure before the disease, the mask is lightweight and simple, available to the poorest in some form. We mask our speech, and appreciate one another, and God will surely respond, in kind.
I’m an American living in Asia where the pandemic is being seriously respected. I see it,even though very tough, bringing people here together, just the opposite of what’s going on at home, I’m sorry to say because of our leaders examples...
Also ..as here in UK...so many young people and protesters putting others lives at risk

@@sheilakirwan9462 The fault of any spreading caused by protesters is the fault of those who ignored them decades. I am in the US and see all the protests here. Ideally it would be nice if there were no protests but the cause of these protests have been brewing for well over 150 years here. It is not the protester's fault that nothing has been done to fix racism that in built in to many of our public institutions and policies. It is unfortunate that it reached a peak during the pandemic but if not now then when?
Very interesting interview. Following on from Mollie's comments, it's interesting the Coronavirus cases in Jerusalem were 4,106, wheres in Tel Aviv there were 1,005 cases. The population of Jerusalem is double that of Tel Aviv, but that still doesn't account for 4x more cases in Jerusalem. Therefore it really does seem the more religious areas have suffered because people cover up more and get less Vitamin D, which would add more weight to your theory.
There were religous areas in telaviv that had high levels of the virus early on. If i remember correctly the first groups of infection happened from korean tourists that probanly spent more time in jerusalem. We also had individuals returning from abroad with it. But the koreans it was in the tourist group. Maybe thats partly why. All tourist spend time there.
Husband is an actuary . He deals in death rates daily. I looked back on my texts and Jan 24 2020 I got a note from him that said “ Buy masks and sanitizer”. Who knew it would go like this?
Never knew the term exponential before this ! It’s pretty chilling. If only our govt had been truthful from Jan 2020 and stop finger pointing these coronavirus cases/deaths would be much lower.
I said the same thing around the same time. Very few heed my words. I presented my hypothesis.....those that listened 👍🏻 those that didn’t .... if I had a dollar for every “I should have listened to you.”...
That is interesting. In late Jan I put extra milk in the freezer, looked at the expiry dates later- Feb 8th. Funny how so many of us knew but governments were so slow.
An excellent question ! People who were following the news globally, those who were following the news from China since december, those who were following the evolution in the diamond princess, those who were amazed by their governts doing nothing or too little knowing their structural under-equipment due to years of defundings in public policies. Through the recent years, in more than one country, several official reports had pointed towards that catastrophic situation . These reports said it's not a question of if but a question of when, the appropriate response would be this, this and that however due to unwillingness to be prepared for x reasons the probable outcome would be.... South Korea for instance was able to protect its citizens partly due to what they learned from a previous epidemy.
@@Campbellteaching Thank you for your comment, I try to keep up with your presentations as much as possible, and it is always interesting to hear how people in other countries are experiencing Covid-19. I do have connections with and an interes in Palestine, but unfortunately I don't have any contact there. However, I'm sure you will be inundated with offers to participate from correspondents there.
It would also be interesting to hear from both Christian and Muslim citizens. Not political. This conversation managed to avoid the vitriol usually encountered in many interviews.
@@Campbellteaching Always thank you Sir for your giving so much. Mali is a very charming person. God Bless You Both! Perhaps she has Palestinian contacts or friends with whom you might talk.
I love this woman. So informative, so respectful, such a joy! Great to actually hear how Israel is doing. I've been watching and admiring how they've managed to keep the number of deaths so low. Thank you so much for sharing these stories from around the world.
One of those watching to the end. Thanks John and Molly. Shalom to all! One hopes the US political “party of mean” becomes less so and in other countries other parties out of power don’t continue to politicize the response to this Wuhan, Hubei, China originated COVID-19.
Yep. Because the uk government have. Shame on them. Useless lunatics. They have just escalated the pandemic with their guidelines of today not tottaly endorsed by PHE. There was an alternative that would maybe taken 2 weeks but look at what happened when we had 2 weeks on Italy
@@twelvesmylimit why have they no common sense? It's beggars belief how they have handled this. A ten year old would have done better. Test track trace total shambles. I can't even think of any proposal that has ended in a positive result
Thank you Dr. John for another enlightening segment. I enjoyed hearing from Mali about life in Israel. I like what she said about how the government framed their safety mandates giving facts and figures and reasons for everyone to comply. Great how they figured out a way to include everyone and not make it political. And how they tailored the dissemination of information to fit specific cultures within the country. Hopefully other governments are taking notes!
As an Israeli citizen for almost 50 years now, I think this is one of the most wonderful places on the planet to live in. Great people (including myself) warm and informal, amazing food and great places to go We will always argue though, almost at anytime and almost on any possible subject, so if you come here don't get offended if people might start arguing with you, this is just what we do, all the time, with everyone...
@Grozaaïmid Do you know that now that we suggested to pass some of the cities and villages under Israeli 'occupation' to be 'liberated' under Palestinian authority, they actually were horrified from it? Truth is that under this so called occupation they have the best life they could have of all Arab countries around (to which they can immigrate if they want at any given moment) and amazing work opportunities So to summarize, you are fed constantly by a pile of lies, I don't argue your right to believe if, but you believing it does in no way turn it into truth Oh, and did I mention the amount of civil-targeted terror we suffer on a day-to-day basis? Seems like you forgot to mention this little fact
@Grozaaïmid You comparing the Gaza strip to concentration camp is just proving your unbelievable amount of ignorance about both Jewish people's Holocaust and the Gaza strip situation How do I know? I know this since my dearest grandmother her soul rest in peace has survived Auschwitz-Birkenau REAL concentration camp. Her 3 young children Naomi, Robi and Shmuel aged 7, 5, and 3 years at that time, were forcibly taken from her hands and killed with gas, and then burned. She and her sister were forced to work in the camp producing weapons for the German war machine and being paid nothing while being given a single a day of old dry and molded bread and the only source of nutrition You can continue to echo those stupidities told to you over and over again and (most probably) never corroborated or even doubted by you, that's OK, it happens a lot. It will still never be truth so think again how would you call people that over and over again say lies and fabricated stories thinking they are real life truth
So many of my mates have had the proper test to see if they've had it and found out they have. I'm pretty sure i had it around xmas time and loads of others around here. I'm wondering if that's why the South West of UK has lower number now, cos it passed through here before we knew about it. Many elderly people in our village died of "flu" at the time as well, sounds like it could of been this.
Interesting.I live in rural mid devon. Myself and quite a few others who use the village pub came down with something in December 2019- January 2020. Cough, cough,cough. I eventually saw the doc. on Jan 13th who said my body was fighting the infection and that was that. I am a fit 69 yr. old.
You know we keep hearing this same story across the globe during Nov, Dec 2019. When all the data has been organized and made public, it will be very interesting. It’s so political here in the states I think we’re in it for a long haul. All our task force leaders and administration are so afraid to admit any wrongdoing and its killing innocent citizens. What can be done ?
@@slogiraffe I watch a bit of 2nd Amendment TH-cam programmes. I've been trying to mention to a few content creators can they correlate testing for antibodies of the people who attended Shot Show in 2020. Loads of people came back from Shot Show suffering really badly from something. No one seems to be interested in doing this.
Was that after they had recovered or during, if after, did they do it within a month of it? I'm considering it but the company carrying them out say to test if you had it 3 weeks ago.
At about 35 minutes you talked of Paranoia. Have you come across the chap who said, "Just because the whole world is against me does not mean I am paranoid!"
Israel sends out messages to protect everybody in Arabic, English, Russian, Ethiopian languages 14:00 God Bless Dr. John & Israel for caring. 41:38 Israel cares for all people equally, Jew, Palestinian, Syrian refugees, "treated by Israeli hospitals in Israeli facilities." 14:50 Arabs are Israeli citizens in a multi-cultural society.
@@guernanei4179 The wall is to stop the bombings of homes, and children. Funny how you can't realize that, and then ignore what Islam does all over the world. I thought Allah despised liars?
I went to Mount olive (Jerusalem) when the pandemic started in March, it was great. The roads were empty, no tourists, the view was phenomenal. The only problem was the country was starting to lock down.
21:00 pm nearly and it feels like Africa on the jetty. So extremely hot. And the sun is high up in the sky burning my face. The coming days will be about 35 degrees C in shadow for several days. Tv has heat warning in Sweden now. I am in my lake house now in the heart of Sweden. People have started their holiday now. A lot of people here now on private jettys. All neighbours i talked to have eaten very healthy this spring and also done proper exercise. Also a lot of germans here in this landscape now. They are brave to go to corona Sweden I think. But I guess they dont care about this virus so much. At least they have Great weather and the stunning beauty of this landscape. Very idyllic with Mountains lakes meadows and red wood houses built with the swedish charm.
True, I think it's because she said she's in Alon Shvut, in Israel, when it's not, it's a settlement in the West Bank outside of Israel. I think if she has said she's from Alon Shvut, in the West Bank, nobody would've cared.
Listened to an news interview regarding South Korean health tracking apps yesterday. Some of the S. Korean citizens are upset that old "temporary" data collected from the MERS outbreak was not deleted as was originally promised. The gov tracked things like credit card charges, health data, and travel data.The news report stated the government decided to change their minds after the fact and are keeping the data indefinitely. So currently there is some push-back on the tracking of Covid in S. Korea as well. Dr. John there is reason to pause and consider. People of Government and People of Science have not all been ethical historically.
What world we are living in if taking a bus at 14 is considered early. My child was going to school by bus at 6 :D, all other children go to kindergarden by foot at 5 which I find a bit too early, but going on the bus at 8 or 9 is, or should be, considered pretty normal because kids are very much capable to do so. Poor kids, I mean those who live in big, 'dangerous' cities.
@Seine O'More look this is not a joke. look what happened to Madeline McCann. keep kids home and home school using online computers. it is just too dangerous go out the front door. in America thousands of kids are snatched from near the house. also you can get germs and now corona virus too. KEEP HOME. KEEP SAFE.
Respect the culture and respect the virus.😃 Today was the Jagannath Rath Yatra, a religious procession in Odisha, India🇮🇳. Every year 100s of thousands of people take part in it but for the 1st time in 2000 yrs it was done only by temple priests and no devotees participated.😃
I live in israel she is nice but not so much updated. israel did handle good at first when it implemented an early lockdown for 3 weeks, but the exit strategy was bad since the government lifted almost all sanctions without proper enforcement- so now the cases are rising fast and people are not wearing masks nor implementing social distancing, the schools reopened without appropriate health measures-no masks no social distancing unlike Denmark. A lot of israelis think Covid 19 is not dangerous . Nobody here cares about the eldery and about people with weak immune system. Last week there eas a case of 26 year old healthy man that died from Kawasaki Syndrom after being asymptomatic with covid 19 according to the Hospital.
as an israeli aswell i can confirm this. not everyone but some are prone to carelessness in public and gov reactions to increase in infection is slow now and under lobby pressure from economy folks.
I agree that schools & malls were reopened without proper restrictions, & they dropped restrictions on public transportation too early. But I dont agree that nobody cares about the elderly & the other vulnerable people. I was happy to see that the percentage of people wearing masks has gone way up over the past week, & restrictions are back in place on public transportation.
@@hfsaid thanks for this update. I'm interested particularly in how they are handling the school reopenings. I'd read there were problems. In terms of meeting the social contact needs of elderly, it is one of the hardest things to facilitate during the pandemic.
The UK has published a SACN report dated 22nd July to 23rd September 2015 on a draft vitamin d and health report on the SACN website and it highlight the role of vitamin d in peoples health include over 1000 I.U for older people and people with kidney and health problems? The report is on the SACN website.
What a terrific interview; thanks for not giving us another quick 3 minute interview where you just dont really get to know the issues. So interesting to share ideas, loving Mali's openness and refreshing messages. Well thought out, personal. Thank you!
Finally let me thank you Dr Campbell. I've been a fan since December. I'm 46 and have taken Vit D supplements for almost 15 yrs after reading research put out by Boston Medical center years ago. I haven't been to the doctor for a respiratory illness in over 15yrs bc of it. It has so many benefits. And the world appreciates your honesty and opinion. Thank You
All things considered, vitamin D optimization is likely the easiest, least expensive and most beneficial strategy that anyone can do to minimize their risk of COVID-19 and other infections in the coming months. Health authorities are already warning of a second wave of COVID-19 in the fall, which means the time to start addressing your vitamin D level is NOW. We also have a pandemic of vitamin D deficiency, as more than 1 billion individuals worldwide, across all age groups, are deficient in vitamin D.1,2,3,4 Vitamin D deficiency has now been identified as a significant risk factor for positive COVID-19 status,5,6 severe COVID-19 infection7,8,9,10 and death thereof.11,12 I discuss this in "Vitamin D Is Directly Correlated to COVID-19 Outcome." In one study,13,14 which looked at data from 780 hospital patients in Indonesia, those with a vitamin D level between 20 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) and 30 ng/mL had a sevenfold higher risk of death than those with a level above 30 ng/mL. Having a level below 20 ng/mL was associated with a 12 times higher risk of death. To improve your immune function and lower your risk of viral infections, you'll want to raise your vitamin D to a level between 60 ng/mL and 80 ng/mL by fall. In Europe, the measurements you're looking for are 150 nmol/L and 200 nmol/L. If vitamin D levels were increased in the global population, tens of thousands of people may be saved if or when COVID-19 reemerges. While prospective controlled studies demonstrating vitamin D's effectiveness in COVID-19 are still lacking, there are many such studies underway. You can review the status of these trials on clinicaltrials.gov.15 As of early June 2020, more than 20 studies had been launched to investigate the benefits of vitamin D against COVID-19. The Most Important Paper I've Ever Written For the last three weeks, I have been writing a comprehensive report on vitamin D in the prevention of COVID-19. The report has been reviewed by many vitamin D scientists for accuracy. This was done to develop a resource that everyone can share to help educate others. We will soon be launching a campaign to educate and inspire everyone, everywhere, to start optimizing their vitamin D level NOW. Please download my paper here, and share it with everyone you know. The purpose of this report is to help you understand why it is so important to optimize vitamin levels for healthy immune functions and then provide you with a detailed strategy of how to do that. This report can be used as a tool to teach your friends, family and community about why and how to be prepared for the next pandemic. Mounting evidence demonstrates that vitamin D has important roles in regulating the immune system that should reduce COVID-19 risks; primarily by reducing survival and replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and by reducing the risks of 'cytokine storms' by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production and increasing anti-inflammatory cytokine production. In it, I review the science of how your immune system works, and the regulatory role of vitamin D. I also explain how vitamin D reduces your risk of COVID-19 specifically, and how it helps suppress and control both acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and cytokine storms, which is a primary cause of death in COVID-19. Advertisement Click here to learn Dr. Mercola's top tips to combat coronavirus Darker-Skinned Individuals Need More Vitamin D Vitamin D optimization is particularly important for dark-skinned individuals, as the darker your skin, the more sun exposure you need to raise your vitamin D level. Increased skin pigmentation reduces the efficacy of UVB because melanin functions as a natural sunblock. If you're very dark-skinned, you may need to spend about 1.5 hours a day in the sun to have any noticeable effect. For many working adults and school-age children, this simply isn't feasible. Light-skinned individuals may only need 15 minutes of full sun exposure a day, which is far easier to achieve. Still, they too will typically struggle to maintain ideal levels during the winter. During the winter months at latitudes of greater than 40°, little or no UVB radiation reaches the surface of the earth. That said, residence at low latitude does not guarantee adequate vitamin D levels, since social and cultural norms may limit sun exposure.16 As noted in the MedCram video above, black, Asian and minority ethnic groups are at an increased risk of death from COVID-19. While some have blamed this racial disparity on health care access, a far more likely reason for this is because dark-skinned individuals are far more likely to be deficient in vitamin D. In fact, the paper cited by MedCram specifically looked at ethnic disparities in COVID-19 mortality among patients in England, where health care is freely available to all, so the health care access rationale doesn't seem to hold water. Vitamin D Supplementation Recommended to Quell Mortality The role of vitamin D is addressed in a reply17 by vitamin D researchers William Grant and Barbara Boucher to The BMJ editorial "Is Ethnicity Linked to Incidence or Outcomes of COVID-19?" They write, in part: "The recent BMJ editorial by Khunti et al. asks 'Is ethnicity linked to incidence or outcomes of covid-19?' Here we outline how ethnicity relates to incidence and outcomes of COVID-19 due, in part, to lack of vitamin D because of increased skin pigmentation and diet … A potentially important factor not considered in the PHE report was vitamin D deficiency, though mounting evidence suggests that vitamin D deficiency is an important risk factor for acute respiratory tract infections and for COVID-19 … Mounting evidence demonstrates that vitamin D has important roles in regulating the immune system that should reduce COVID-19 risks; primarily by reducing survival and replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and by reducing the risks of 'cytokine storms' by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production and increasing anti-inflammatory cytokine production. Vitamin D also promotes local ACE2 formation in the lungs, an effect known to reduce the severity of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Furthermore, higher baseline serum 25(OH)D concentrations are currently being reported to be associated with reduced rates of severe COVID-19 and of mortality." Grant and Boucher go on to cite data from studies reviewed in "Vitamin D Combats Viral Infections and Boosts Immune System," which features my interview with vitamin D experts Bruce Hollis, Ph.D., Carole Baggerly and Dr. Carol Wagner. All of these researchers reviewed the vitamin D report I wrote for accuracy. Grant and Boucher recommend advising the public to supplement vitamin D daily, especially black, Asian and minority ethnic groups, indoor workers, shift workers, the elderly, those in residential care or those confined to their homes, as well as those who are obese. Doing so might reduce COVID-19 severity and prevent unnecessary deaths. "Vitamin D is readily available … 'over the counter' at supermarkets, chemists and online, but could be provided free to those in financial hardship or unable to access supplies," Grant and Boucher write, adding: "Doses of 1,000 IU/day in general and of 4,000 IU/day for those at high risk of deficiency, as above, including the BAME groups, should be advised for the duration of the Covid-19 outbreak …"
Very wise (or lucky) of you to become a Dr. Campbell fan 3 months before the mainstream heard of covid19, right around the time of patient zero. You should buy a lotto ticket.
Hawaii was featured as the one success story in what's left of the U.S. The Lt. Governor is also a doctor. He and another doctor who has 8 urgent Care facilities in the State pushed hard for testing. Meanwhile, the Dept. of Health was tirelessly contact tracing. In addition to these impressive/ aggressive interventions, the Native aloha culture where people are more likely to care about others combined with the island geography all created an environment where they, with great effort and ingenuity, have had success limiting the virus. Meanwhile, here in Floriduh , we are in real trouble because of a retrumplican genocide. " HELP...! "
@@SophiesFoodAdventures There doesn't seem to be much helpful difference, sadly. Half-cocked panic overreactions, denialistic underreactions swing back and forth and partisan politics mixed with stupidity engendered by the last forty years of schooling mean troubles and troubles. In my own state PA, the numbers reported seem to have become "filtered", for our numbers should look a lot more like New Jersey's and they diverge with no good explanation I can see so far.
PA is "filtering" the nursing home numbers, as in not testing and reporting deaths as "pneumonia" when the resident tested positive for and died of COVID-19.

All these local insights are interesting I ve been teaching intercultural relations for years there is a book called When culture collides by Lewes that is my favourite reference book but our favourite doctor has collected a lot of information to write a new book on how different cultures have dealt with this pandemic..

I enjoyed this interview. Molly seems to weathering his pandemic with a great attitude. I so wish that here in Florida we can start. To get our numbers down.i It’s scary here. And I am grateful for these video, the more facts, the lower m anxiety. Dr. John you are the best.
please do an episode about Panama we are in the strictest lockdown for more then 3 months its horrible our government doesn't understand anything about the virus
It is hotter in Sweden than in Israel. Here it has been around thirty for weeks now. And the coming days it will be about thirtyfour degrees C in shadow in Sweden. Heat warnings on tv. I go swimming every day and melting on my jetty in the mean time.
Hej Pirjo. Problemet i Europa är ju att det knappt finns några A/C. På något vis känns värmen här i Israel inte så jobbig för man vet att det nästan alltid finns en A/C i närheten. Dessutom är det ju alltid svalt inomhus - så svalt man nu vill ha det. Jo jag har hört av kompisar att det är varmt i Sverige nu.
I wonder if they got the PPE and ventilators that Jared confiscated from various blue states in the US. He refused to say where they were going, only that “they’re ours”.
Molly, thanks so far i think you did a good job with all the questions. I know that not all secular people have tvs, watched the news... so they took the restrictions less generously. Many are having a hard time financially like small business owners. Of course molly is speaking for the jewish community so im wondering what experience the arab population had. Im sure like with the orthodox population there were difficulties.
Dr. John, if everybody had antibody tests could this give a truer scope of how many have been exposed to this virus, along with when and if they had symptoms???
@lotsofcooki3s Testing with containment, either in social bubbles, or geographic bubbles, like islands, hard borders, even in a nation or city: that would work long term. Back to the world of the flat earth, in other words. When 99.9% of human travel was no more than 8 miles a day.
@lotsofcooki3s Right, you are right, and moreover what you note about the antibodies is being born out, but given this crazy tricky virus, not completely. Since the beginning it looked to me like this virus was designed to bifurcate the immune responses, and that bifurcation seems to be nested in the various layers of the immune system, perhaps even from community to community, so that the immune system repsonse of some will vary from others and in such a way that the small cohorts gathered to do statistics on the responses will come out with reports at odds with each other. Yet we live day-to-day in social bubbles and geographic bubbles: we see the same "vectors", fellow humans possibly conveying the pathogen and the spoors, the residues that our fellows leave in the air, on the ground, on surfaces. So inside those well bordered bubbles, a few tests now and then will come to show if the bubble is safe or infected. Even though some tests will be false, over multiple tests in each bubble, continuing in time, we isolate bad and good bubbbles quite reliably. The FDA (US) made a disasterous choice to shut down the simple test kits for antibodies because they are not too reliable, they are still more than reliable enough to control and manage on this bubble basis.
If only the USA could have the same sort of mindset that we are in this together, lets help each other. To even say those words are considered argumentative. Great interview
We should all definitely get along. I think Rodney King said something like that. One little blue marble we call a home in this vast universe is very special.

A few more points that molly was not aware of. There were volunteers who went to the pharmacy for meds and delivered food to those over age 60 and to those at risk unable to go out and to those in quarantine.
I was even given a new $25 phone charger. They were lifesavers!
Also today in israel it was announced that igg antibody which provides passive immunity to the one recieving it, was administered to a patient whose lungs had turned white, and for whom ecmo didnt work. The patient is recovering now in haddasah hospital.
This is the 1st time this treatment has been tried in any hospital.
Its not plasma therapy
I loved this interview. I learned so much about ISREAL that I never knew!
Also, I grew up in Connecticut like Molly and moved out to a foreign country: Texas. Totally different culturally and politically😆
I think she knows whats happening here. I think she tried to give a good basic picture. Its great that you added this!!
Thank you Mali! Fascinating to hear from you.
I think it's essential we hear from people's experience across the world.
Keep up the good work!
Great interview! You are a great interviewer who listens and is interested! Molly is articulate, aware, well-informed, and absolutely a love! Many good wishes to both of you, and as Molly said, Peace!
Great interview! Mali is intelligent, well-informed and explains everything well. Also, I appreciate the message of not politicizing the coronavirus. Wish America would listen to that! Also, very much appreciate your ending message of peace.
I live in israel and wish to add a few pts. Concerning vit D everyone is tested for vitD during routine blood tests. Doctors tell patients is they need more vit d. I know 2 people whose doctors told them to take it.
As of tonight there were 459 new cases discovered in the last day. The cases are going up and some areas of tiberias and other places are on 1 week lockdown
The new cases seem to be young people. There were some people who were young and terribly ill before but mainly older people
I was tested for covid 19 without having a fever and no contact with someone who had it
Am trying to get the antibody test
The cases started rising as they opened too quickly. It started in schools. Kids and teachers should be tested before going back to school , not just after cases discovered.
I am older and living alone. Spent passover alone
Where do we go to get the antibody test? Thanks
Im in israel also, ididnt know our vitamin d is checked. Thanks. Yes cases going up in israel. The opening wasnt done well. Atleast now we have fines for not wearing masks in public places. Im older, have been alone since early march. Some things israel did better.
I think you need a doctor's letter to get the test. Call your health fund
newnews brooklyn from Canada. I visited your beautiful country in 2012 and was blown away by how kind and caring people were there. Be safe.
To get the antibody test its supposed to be available to those taking blood tests thru their health plan. However my doctor couldnt find the test listed under my meuchedet health plan so i couldnt take it
Really enjoyed this interview. She was delightful and it was interesting to hear more about Israel.
Warmed the cockles of me heart, God bless the both of you.
Thanks Dr John & Mali for another valuable interview, much appreciated! 👍 Always good to get a perspective from different countries... Wish Isreal all the best in fighting CO-19.
It's always better to listen to a normal citizen of a country rather than someone from the government, it provides with more accurate information on the ground.😃

Maybe so but she’s very knowledgeable about what the government there is doing.
Except she isn't a normal Citizen. She lives in illigal settlements of west bank which is not part of israel but Palestine from where native Palestinians are forced out to make way for the master race. She is de facto a war criminal.

You live in PALESTINE!!
still watching to the end. I was in Israel in 1964 working on a kibbutz in Ein Gev. It was a wonderful experience. Interviewing very interesting people from all around the world is fascinating and makes me think we are all going through Covid in a similar ways, finding out what works and what doesn't . Brings the world closer together in some respects. Thank you for doing this John. I was a nurse too.
Thanks for another interesting exchange from different parts of our planet! Mali is compassionate and has a bright spirit. Peace and good health to everyone!
I looked after quite a few Holocaust survivors during the 90s. They would tell so willingly, to this ignorant young English nurse, the most incredible stories. Their loss is an unimaginable tragedy and it's the responsibility of those of us who heard them, to ensure their stories never die.
@Anna Twink thank you for your love and care of elders!!
Israel did a great job with the covid-pandemic. They were the first to use the word pandemic. They proactively produced high quality masks, helped NewYork and many other countries in the heat of the fire, They were very quick operational simply by Changing parkinglots into an underground hospital. They only had to rewire the place. They helped out Italy at an early stage. An airplane from Qatar carrying humanitarian Goods for Gaza was admitted to land in Ben Gurion. ElAl kept on flying helping others... and all of this was not in the western media. 👍
Probably not considered 'fashionable' news ........that's democracy for you!
Kristine Willems and tried to use it to kill even more Palestinian citizens
I watched the entire interview - most interesting to hear about Israel, especially how they have concern to take care of their parents and grandparents. Here in the UK we don' t have that so much, people seem a lot more individualistic, and that makes asking them to be community minded quite difficult for the government. As a grandparent, I have missed my 3 year old granddaughter the most, but all 3 of my sons have been compliant with all the measures - truly concerned to keep infection away from me and their Dad. Now that we can have socialisation again, outside , keeping distance, it is bearable. We cannot yet hug and kiss ( very hard for me!) but at least we can be together again. I am puzzled as to why it's ok to be thinking about opening up pubs, but somehow I can't have my family in my own home. I feel there is very little risk for any of us in meeting up again indoors, but huge risk to go out and be in a cafe or pub, or even in a shop where masks are not mandated. For those of us who have been compliant, the risk from gathering in one home together must be practically zero.
in the UK they don't even take care of their children- Hello, grooming gangs?
@carol you make such a very good point. I am much more comfortable increasing my "bubble" gradually and carefully with a small number of people who I know, in an environment I can control, then going to a public place with strangers like a pub or restaurant. Very odd "public health" priorities.
I'm happy my one son who lost his job as a restaurant chef was able to get a better position in the nursing home where his Bubby (grandma) lives. He visits her every day he works and gets tested every other week.
In Israel we had an early and pretty strict lockdown. But it took the ultra-orthodox community many weeks until they started complying with the new rules.
For this reason they were the most affected group. But the overall impression is that even amongst them, no real catastrophy has ever happened;
There has been only 300 dead overall - nothing like the awful pictures we've seen from north Italy at the time. So, many people think now that this pandemic was exaggerated in the first place in order to intimidate the public or serve the current controversial government. There is also a claim that the current surge in cases is in large part the result of abundant testing -
At the start of the pandemic, test kits were scarce, so that many asymptomatic carriers of the virus were not known to contract it, but this time such carriers can easily be tested and are counted as covid-19 patients when in fact they are not really sick. I very much hope they are right...
SisterRay100 in northern Italy the virus circulated since November and it was only detected in February when it had already spread to a huge amount of people. Most probably in Israel it arrived much later hence it had not spread as much when public health measures were taken.
@@albertamezzacapo4457 Yes. This is probably the explanation.
Thank you both! This reaffirms and validates my beliefs on many levels. Respect cultural values and communicate essential information swiftly in the appropriate manner for that culture. 💞👏🤲
Lovely lady and lovely message. Was happy to watch until the end
@Grozaaïmid And did you not realise that repeating the same thing over and over again like that weakens whatever message you were trying to put across? We heard you the first time. But congratulations on learning how to copy and paste. Well done.
This is one of the most fascinating interviews you've done Dr.John. I wonder if it would be fair to say cultures with a great deal of love for their elders are the ones who have dealt with lockdown difficulties more easily? Or should I say more willingly?It's just so, so refreshing to hear!
Anna Twink yes ..feel sad about how it was mooted ...at least at the beginning in the UK that old and sick people were the only ones who got it badly and young people often didn’t seem to care ..or large numbers of them ...even sadder is Sweden’s policy. In the Far East the elderly are respected and would be protected as such...I think as it went on..at least from a government level more care was given to the elderly but still so many young breaking lockdown and of course mass gatherings at the protests ..
@@sheilakirwan9462 All the families at the seaside as well?
It is sos helpful to hear how other countries are doing with this virus yet sad and maddening to be in a country (as the US) to know that the Covid-19 pandemic has been so politicized that harm is being brought to the inhabitants of those countries. Way too many people are dying needlessly. My hope is that the International legal community will shin a light on those countries that have caused serious harm to their citizens by using the pandemic for political gains.
Covid is solved surely with a mask. Not perfectly, but surely. It is also surely, I read it, that God's own intent with this heavy virus that weighs on all in the world, that we control our speech and stop poison speech, stop bad mouthing each other. So God presents the cure before the disease, the mask is lightweight and simple, available to the poorest in some form. We mask our speech, and appreciate one another, and God will surely respond, in kind.
I’m an American living in Asia where the pandemic is being seriously respected. I see it,even though very tough, bringing people here together, just the opposite of what’s going on at home, I’m sorry to say because of our leaders examples...
It came from China
Also ..as here in UK...so many young people and protesters putting others lives at risk
@@sheilakirwan9462 The fault of any spreading caused by protesters is the fault of those who ignored them decades. I am in the US and see all the protests here. Ideally it would be nice if there were no protests but the cause of these protests have been brewing for well over 150 years here. It is not the protester's fault that nothing has been done to fix racism that in built in to many of our public institutions and policies. It is unfortunate that it reached a peak during the pandemic but if not now then when?
Very interesting interview. Following on from Mollie's comments, it's interesting the Coronavirus cases in Jerusalem were 4,106, wheres in Tel Aviv there were 1,005 cases. The population of Jerusalem is double that of Tel Aviv, but that still doesn't account for 4x more cases in Jerusalem. Therefore it really does seem the more religious areas have suffered because people cover up more and get less Vitamin D, which would add more weight to your theory.
There were religous areas in telaviv that had high levels of the virus early on. If i remember correctly the first groups of infection happened from korean tourists that probanly spent more time in jerusalem. We also had individuals returning from abroad with it. But the koreans it was in the tourist group. Maybe thats partly why. All tourist spend time there.
I always watch these interviews all the way through, I love the different perspectives from all over. Very informative!
I watched to the end! Wonderful interview!
Husband is an actuary . He deals in death rates daily. I looked back on my texts and Jan 24 2020 I got a note from him that said “ Buy masks and sanitizer”. Who knew it would go like this?
MJ where do you live?
Never knew the term exponential before this ! It’s pretty chilling. If only our govt had been truthful from Jan 2020 and stop finger pointing these coronavirus cases/deaths would be much lower.
I said the same thing around the same time. Very few heed my words. I presented my hypothesis.....those that listened 👍🏻 those that didn’t .... if I had a dollar for every “I should have listened to you.”...
That is interesting. In late Jan I put extra milk in the freezer, looked at the expiry dates later- Feb 8th. Funny how so many of us knew but governments were so slow.
An excellent question !
People who were following the news globally, those who were following the news from China since december, those who were following the evolution in the diamond princess, those who were amazed by their governts doing nothing or too little knowing their structural under-equipment due to years of defundings in public policies. Through the recent years, in more than one country, several official reports had pointed towards that catastrophic situation . These reports said it's not a question of if but a question of when, the appropriate response would be this, this and that however due to unwillingness to be prepared for x reasons the probable outcome would be....
South Korea for instance was able to protect its citizens partly due to what they learned from a previous epidemy.
It would be very interesting to hear about the situation from the Palestinian point of view and experience, which I imagine may be somewhat different
Are you living there Mary? I would be happy to talk to you
@@Campbellteaching Thank you for your comment, I try to keep up with your presentations as much as possible, and it is always interesting to hear how people in other countries are experiencing Covid-19.

Yep. Because the uk government have. Shame on them. Useless lunatics. They have just escalated the pandemic with their guidelines of today not tottaly endorsed by PHE. There was an alternative that would maybe taken 2 weeks but look at what happened when we had 2 weeks on Italy
@@terrymoney9718 Agree. Italy warned our government and they refused to listen.
@@twelvesmylimit why have they no common sense? It's beggars belief how they have handled this. A ten year old would have done better. Test track trace total shambles. I can't even think of any proposal that has ended in a positive result
Thank you Dr. John for another enlightening segment. I enjoyed hearing from Mali about life in Israel. I like what she said about how the government framed their safety mandates giving facts and figures and reasons for everyone to comply. Great how they figured out a way to include everyone and not make it political. And how they tailored the dissemination of information to fit specific cultures within the country. Hopefully other governments are taking notes!
As an Israeli citizen for almost 50 years now, I think this is one of the most wonderful places on the planet to live in. Great people (including myself) warm and informal, amazing food and great places to go
We will always argue though, almost at anytime and almost on any possible subject, so if you come here don't get offended if people might start arguing with you, this is just what we do, all the time, with everyone...
The argueing sounds hard. In Sweden is the opposite. Calm people and we like the calm. We dont like arguing here.
@Grozaaïmid Do you know that now that we suggested to pass some of the cities and villages under Israeli 'occupation' to be 'liberated' under Palestinian authority, they actually were horrified from it?
Truth is that under this so called occupation they have the best life they could have of all Arab countries around (to which they can immigrate if they want at any given moment) and amazing work opportunities
So to summarize, you are fed constantly by a pile of lies, I don't argue your right to believe if, but you believing it does in no way turn it into truth
Oh, and did I mention the amount of civil-targeted terror we suffer on a day-to-day basis? Seems like you forgot to mention this little fact
@@pirjolindqvist7819 Yes, Sweden w are not...
@Grozaaïmid You comparing the Gaza strip to concentration camp is just proving your unbelievable amount of ignorance about both Jewish people's Holocaust and the Gaza strip situation
How do I know? I know this since my dearest grandmother her soul rest in peace has survived Auschwitz-Birkenau REAL concentration camp.
Her 3 young children Naomi, Robi and Shmuel aged 7, 5, and 3 years at that time, were forcibly taken from her hands and killed with gas, and then burned.
She and her sister were forced to work in the camp producing weapons for the German war machine and being paid nothing while being given a single a day of old dry and molded bread and the only source of nutrition
You can continue to echo those stupidities told to you over and over again and (most probably) never corroborated or even doubted by you, that's OK, it happens a lot. It will still never be truth so think again how would you call people that over and over again say lies and fabricated stories thinking they are real life truth
So many of my mates have had the proper test to see if they've had it and found out they have. I'm pretty sure i had it around xmas time and loads of others around here. I'm wondering if that's why the South West of UK has lower number now, cos it passed through here before we knew about it. Many elderly people in our village died of "flu" at the time as well, sounds like it could of been this.
Interesting isn't it. Which is why we need testing testing testing.
Interesting.I live in rural mid devon. Myself and quite a few others who use the village pub came down with something in December 2019- January 2020. Cough, cough,cough. I eventually saw the doc. on Jan 13th who said my body was fighting the infection and that was that. I am a fit 69 yr. old.
You know we keep hearing this same story across the globe during Nov, Dec 2019. When all the data has been organized and made public, it will be very interesting. It’s so political here in the states I think we’re in it for a long haul. All our task force leaders and administration are so afraid to admit any wrongdoing and its killing innocent citizens. What can be done ?
@@slogiraffe I watch a bit of 2nd Amendment TH-cam programmes. I've been trying to mention to a few content creators can they correlate testing for antibodies of the people who attended Shot Show in 2020. Loads of people came back from Shot Show suffering really badly from something. No one seems to be interested in doing this.
Was that after they had recovered or during, if after, did they do it within a month of it? I'm considering it but the company carrying them out say to test if you had it 3 weeks ago.

Another lovely and fascinating interview, Molly (?) Is so very literate and well spoken!! Thanks Molly and Dr. Campbell!
Listened to an news interview regarding South Korean health tracking apps yesterday. Some of the S. Korean citizens are upset that old "temporary" data collected from the MERS outbreak was not deleted as was originally promised. The gov tracked things like credit card charges, health data, and travel data.The news report stated the government decided to change their minds after the fact and are keeping the data indefinitely. So currently there is some push-back on the tracking of Covid in S. Korea as well.
Dr. John there is reason to pause and consider.
People of Government and People of Science have not all been ethical historically.
Shame about the sound distortion but always interesting to hear from people in other countries.
I checked and Israel is good on the numbers of infected. Nowhere near 5-6 million. Hope it stays that way.

Poor kids, I mean those who live in big, 'dangerous' cities.

*ASK HER ABOUT DEPRESSION IN THE PALESTINIANS HAVING THEIR LAND STOLEN FROM THEM AND LIVING UNDER BRUTAL ISRAEL OCCUPATION LAST 50 YEARS.*
Enjoyed that video. Thank you!
I live in israel she is nice but not so much updated. israel did handle good at first when it implemented an early lockdown for 3 weeks, but the exit strategy was bad since the government lifted almost all sanctions without proper enforcement- so now the cases are rising fast and people are not wearing masks nor implementing social distancing, the schools reopened without appropriate health measures-no masks no social distancing unlike Denmark. A lot of israelis think Covid 19 is not dangerous . Nobody here cares about the eldery and about people with weak immune system. Last week there eas a case of 26 year old healthy man that died from Kawasaki Syndrom after being asymptomatic with covid 19 according to the Hospital.
@A B i live here also. I think she did a pretty good job generally. It was a lot of questions and background...
as an israeli aswell i can confirm this. not everyone but some are prone to carelessness in public and gov reactions to increase in infection is slow now and under lobby pressure from economy folks.
same.
But she is from the settlements so maybe its different there
I agree that schools & malls were reopened without proper restrictions, & they dropped restrictions on public transportation too early. But I dont agree that nobody cares about the elderly & the other vulnerable people. I was happy to see that the percentage of people wearing masks has gone way up over the past week, & restrictions are back in place on public transportation.
@@hfsaid thanks for this update. I'm interested particularly in how they are handling the school reopenings. I'd read there were problems. In terms of meeting the social contact needs of elderly, it is one of the hardest things to facilitate during the pandemic.

I haven't been to the doctor for a respiratory illness in over 15yrs bc of it. It has so many benefits. And the world appreciates your honesty and opinion. Thank You
All things considered, vitamin D optimization is likely the easiest, least expensive and most beneficial strategy that anyone can do to minimize their risk of COVID-19 and other infections in the coming months. Health authorities are already warning of a second wave of COVID-19 in the fall, which means the time to start addressing your vitamin D level is NOW.
We also have a pandemic of vitamin D deficiency, as more than 1 billion individuals worldwide, across all age groups, are deficient in vitamin D.1,2,3,4 Vitamin D deficiency has now been identified as a significant risk factor for positive COVID-19 status,5,6 severe COVID-19 infection7,8,9,10 and death thereof.11,12 I discuss this in "Vitamin D Is Directly Correlated to COVID-19 Outcome."
In one study,13,14 which looked at data from 780 hospital patients in Indonesia, those with a vitamin D level between 20 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) and 30 ng/mL had a sevenfold higher risk of death than those with a level above 30 ng/mL. Having a level below 20 ng/mL was associated with a 12 times higher risk of death.
To improve your immune function and lower your risk of viral infections, you'll want to raise your vitamin D to a level between 60 ng/mL and 80 ng/mL by fall. In Europe, the measurements you're looking for are 150 nmol/L and 200 nmol/L. If vitamin D levels were increased in the global population, tens of thousands of people may be saved if or when COVID-19 reemerges.
While prospective controlled studies demonstrating vitamin D's effectiveness in COVID-19 are still lacking, there are many such studies underway. You can review the status of these trials on clinicaltrials.gov.15 As of early June 2020, more than 20 studies had been launched to investigate the benefits of vitamin D against COVID-19.
The Most Important Paper I've Ever Written
For the last three weeks, I have been writing a comprehensive report on vitamin D in the prevention of COVID-19. The report has been reviewed by many vitamin D scientists for accuracy. This was done to develop a resource that everyone can share to help educate others. We will soon be launching a campaign to educate and inspire everyone, everywhere, to start optimizing their vitamin D level NOW. Please download my paper here, and share it with everyone you know.
The purpose of this report is to help you understand why it is so important to optimize vitamin levels for healthy immune functions and then provide you with a detailed strategy of how to do that. This report can be used as a tool to teach your friends, family and community about why and how to be prepared for the next pandemic.
Mounting evidence demonstrates that vitamin D has important roles in regulating the immune system that should reduce COVID-19 risks; primarily by reducing survival and replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and by reducing the risks of 'cytokine storms' by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production and increasing anti-inflammatory cytokine production.
In it, I review the science of how your immune system works, and the regulatory role of vitamin D. I also explain how vitamin D reduces your risk of COVID-19 specifically, and how it helps suppress and control both acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and cytokine storms, which is a primary cause of death in COVID-19.

Darker-Skinned Individuals Need More Vitamin D
Vitamin D optimization is particularly important for dark-skinned individuals, as the darker your skin, the more sun exposure you need to raise your vitamin D level. Increased skin pigmentation reduces the efficacy of UVB because melanin functions as a natural sunblock.
If you're very dark-skinned, you may need to spend about 1.5 hours a day in the sun to have any noticeable effect. For many working adults and school-age children, this simply isn't feasible.
Light-skinned individuals may only need 15 minutes of full sun exposure a day, which is far easier to achieve. Still, they too will typically struggle to maintain ideal levels during the winter. During the winter months at latitudes of greater than 40°, little or no UVB radiation reaches the surface of the earth. That said, residence at low latitude does not guarantee adequate vitamin D levels, since social and cultural norms may limit sun exposure.16
As noted in the MedCram video above, black, Asian and minority ethnic groups are at an increased risk of death from COVID-19. While some have blamed this racial disparity on health care access, a far more likely reason for this is because dark-skinned individuals are far more likely to be deficient in vitamin D.
In fact, the paper cited by MedCram specifically looked at ethnic disparities in COVID-19 mortality among patients in England, where health care is freely available to all, so the health care access rationale doesn't seem to hold water.
Vitamin D Supplementation Recommended to Quell Mortality
The role of vitamin D is addressed in a reply17 by vitamin D researchers William Grant and Barbara Boucher to The BMJ editorial "Is Ethnicity Linked to Incidence or Outcomes of COVID-19?" They write, in part:
"The recent BMJ editorial by Khunti et al. asks 'Is ethnicity linked to incidence or outcomes of covid-19?' Here we outline how ethnicity relates to incidence and outcomes of COVID-19 due, in part, to lack of vitamin D because of increased skin pigmentation and diet …
A potentially important factor not considered in the PHE report was vitamin D deficiency, though mounting evidence suggests that vitamin D deficiency is an important risk factor for acute respiratory tract infections and for COVID-19 …
Mounting evidence demonstrates that vitamin D has important roles in regulating the immune system that should reduce COVID-19 risks; primarily by reducing survival and replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and by reducing the risks of 'cytokine storms' by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production and increasing anti-inflammatory cytokine production.
Vitamin D also promotes local ACE2 formation in the lungs, an effect known to reduce the severity of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Furthermore, higher baseline serum 25(OH)D concentrations are currently being reported to be associated with reduced rates of severe COVID-19 and of mortality."
Grant and Boucher go on to cite data from studies reviewed in "Vitamin D Combats Viral Infections and Boosts Immune System," which features my interview with vitamin D experts Bruce Hollis, Ph.D., Carole Baggerly and Dr. Carol Wagner. All of these researchers reviewed the vitamin D report I wrote for accuracy.
Grant and Boucher recommend advising the public to supplement vitamin D daily, especially black, Asian and minority ethnic groups, indoor workers, shift workers, the elderly, those in residential care or those confined to their homes, as well as those who are obese. Doing so might reduce COVID-19 severity and prevent unnecessary deaths.
"Vitamin D is readily available … 'over the counter' at supermarkets, chemists and online, but could be provided free to those in financial hardship or unable to access supplies," Grant and Boucher write, adding:
"Doses of 1,000 IU/day in general and of 4,000 IU/day for those at high risk of deficiency, as above, including the BAME groups, should be advised for the duration of the Covid-19 outbreak …"
Very wise (or lucky) of you to become a Dr. Campbell fan 3 months before the mainstream heard of covid19, right around the time of patient zero. You should buy a lotto ticket.
Hawaii was featured as the one success story in what's left of the U.S. The Lt. Governor is also a doctor. He and another doctor who has 8 urgent Care facilities in the State pushed hard for testing. Meanwhile, the Dept. of Health was tirelessly contact tracing. In addition to these impressive/ aggressive interventions, the Native aloha culture where people are more likely to care about others combined with the island geography all created an environment where they, with great effort and ingenuity, have had success limiting the virus. Meanwhile, here in Floriduh , we are in real trouble because of a retrumplican genocide. " HELP...! "
Yes I really think we should learm how different states have dealt with it..
@@SophiesFoodAdventures There doesn't seem to be much helpful difference, sadly. Half-cocked panic overreactions, denialistic underreactions swing back and forth and partisan politics mixed with stupidity engendered by the last forty years of schooling mean troubles and troubles. In my own state PA, the numbers reported seem to have become "filtered", for our numbers should look a lot more like New Jersey's and they diverge with no good explanation I can see so far.
PA is "filtering" the nursing home numbers, as in not testing and reporting deaths as "pneumonia" when the resident tested positive for and died of COVID-19.
@@CricketsBay awful!
@@bobvanwagner6099 awful!
I wish she could have turn her mic volume down. I wound really enjoyed this interview more , she is a nice lady.
But remember she's American and they are required to be loud. LOUD. 😆
@@ethelmshimba5734 shes not used to doing videos, i can tell she is nervous.
I’ve been praying to come and visit Israel, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, the Dead Sea on a pilgrim tour. Lord Jesus Christ please hear my prayers and hopefully my dreams will come true 🙏😇
Welcome!
Grozaaïmid
I should?! No thank you.
All these local insights are interesting I ve been teaching intercultural relations for years there is a book called When culture collides by Lewes that is my favourite reference book but our favourite doctor has collected a lot of information to write a new book on how different cultures have dealt with this pandemic.. When he has the time!
It was great to hear from someone who feels their government was not only effective, but intune with all the subcultures of the society. 👍💕
I enjoyed this interview. Molly seems to weathering his pandemic with a great attitude. I so wish that here in Florida we can start. To get our numbers down.i It’s scary here. And I am grateful for these video, the more facts, the lower m anxiety. Dr. John you are the best.
How about a report from Palestine. Doubt if it would be as "cheery" and "delightful".
Are they shielding overweight people.? They are very anxious even now to go out as the lockdown is easing?
Nice to hear from Maili in Israel thank you Dr Campbell
I wonder how the Palestinians are doing.
please do an episode about Panama we are in the strictest lockdown for more then 3 months its horrible our government doesn't understand anything about the virus
Thanks both. An interesting discussion.
Great job Israel!
It is hotter in Sweden than in Israel. Here it has been around thirty for weeks now. And the coming days it will be about thirtyfour degrees C in shadow in Sweden. Heat warnings on tv. I go swimming every day and melting on my jetty in the mean time.
Hej Pirjo. Problemet i Europa är ju att det knappt finns några A/C. På något vis känns värmen här i Israel inte så jobbig för man vet att det nästan alltid finns en A/C i närheten. Dessutom är det ju alltid svalt inomhus - så svalt man nu vill ha det. Jo jag har hört av kompisar att det är varmt i Sverige nu.
Loved listening

Hey Margaret M! Luke is New Testament, not part of the Jewish Scripture. Where have you been, under a rock?
Is she a settler
Yes
I wonder if they got the PPE and ventilators that Jared confiscated from various blue states in the US. He refused to say where they were going, only that “they’re ours”.
Molly, thanks so far i think you did a good job with all the questions. I know that not all secular people have tvs, watched the news... so they took the restrictions less generously. Many are having a hard time financially like small business owners. Of course molly is speaking for the jewish community so im wondering what experience the arab population had. Im sure like with the orthodox population there were difficulties.
Why do you presume that?
@@FrankEdavidson actually it was well publicised in the news. I was just saying it that way since it seemed to be addressed as issues became known.
It was the nutcase settlers that Palestinians have problems with and those settlers are mostly American Jews.
Oh dear Dr John, you couldn't get a word-in-edgeways!
That's funny !
Irritating
It didnt matter. What she had to say was very informative.
Nice to see Maili
Dr. John, if everybody had antibody tests could this give a truer scope of how many have been exposed to this virus, along with when and if they had symptoms???
@lotsofcooki3s As a hypochondriac how many illness do you think you have had - testing negative means you guessed wrong again...
@lotsofcooki3s Testing with containment, either in social bubbles, or geographic bubbles, like islands, hard borders, even in a nation or city: that would work long term. Back to the world of the flat earth, in other words. When 99.9% of human travel was no more than 8 miles a day.
@lotsofcooki3s Right, you are right, and moreover what you note about the antibodies is being born out, but given this crazy tricky virus, not completely. Since the beginning it looked to me like this virus was designed to bifurcate the immune responses, and that bifurcation seems to be nested in the various layers of the immune system, perhaps even from community to community, so that the immune system repsonse of some will vary from others and in such a way that the small cohorts gathered to do statistics on the responses will come out with reports at odds with each other. Yet we live day-to-day in social bubbles and geographic bubbles: we see the same "vectors", fellow humans possibly conveying the pathogen and the spoors, the residues that our fellows leave in the air, on the ground, on surfaces. So inside those well bordered bubbles, a few tests now and then will come to show if the bubble is safe or infected. Even though some tests will be false, over multiple tests in each bubble, continuing in time, we isolate bad and good bubbbles quite reliably. The FDA (US) made a disasterous choice to shut down the simple test kits for antibodies because they are not too reliable, they are still more than reliable enough to control and manage on this bubble basis.
If only the USA could have the same sort of mindset that we are in this together, lets help each other. To even say those words are considered argumentative. Great interview
WONDERFUL!!
Great interview as ever.
Hello from New England!
We should all definitely get along. I think Rodney King said something like that. One little blue marble we call a home in this vast universe is very special.
@Grozaaïmid "love under Israeli military occupations". Just what I thought.
I just think of John Lennon's 'Imagine'. Someday.
Thank you for the interview Dr. Campbell! Unfortunately it brought out the worst in so many commenters. 694K Subscribers so they can leave & find their doctrines echoed elsewhere.
I don't understand your point . I don't think that 600 something K people are going elsewhere .
@@Lolipop59 Let me spell it out for you: There are 694,000 people subscribed to this channel, so if you've got an issue that you can't get past because of a guest Dr. John speaks to, you can go find an echo chamber that confirms all your bias elsewhere. Clear now dear?
Carol Topalian carol are you okay?☹️
Rosemary Hill what do you expect for it to bring out to us when he interviews someone living on illegal stolen land that has a “defense” force that murders innocent people?? Are you not human, where’s your heart??!
@@daniajallad7313 "are you okay?" = the number one question of passive-aggressive trolls. lol
In Israel people couldn't visit nursing homes on Purim (March 10)
In America we haven’t been allowed to visit nursing homes since March and we still can’t.
Yes. I usually visit an elderly woman and she is now imprisoned essentially. 😢
So much for Vitamin D...
Very well ,they saved some lives ,did they ?
One can hope so. But, today, with social distancing and masks, she should be able to go out to sit on a bench.
@@TM-100 sure she could but let's say somebody asymptomatic and carrying the virus would go close to her ,talk to her . Be happy she is still alive . Hopefully you will be able to see her soon 😊
