And that's why I've been taking Vitamin D pills for the past 6 months. (It's been suspected for some time to have an effect) This doesn't mean go outside and get covid.
Vitamin D is a hormone and is not risk-free. Unless you have been prescribed by your doctor.
In general, be careful with any fat-soluble "vitamins", as they can build up.
"Don't go outside, you'll get COVID", sounds more and more like horrible advice. Before knowing the virus died in sunlight, I still couldn't fathom why people were avoiding going out to parks and stuff. It was totally non sequitor.
From the results: “Of 50 patients treated with calcifediol, one required admission to the ICU (2%), while of 26 untreated patients, 13 required admission (50%) p value X2 Fischer test p Which sounds like as strong a signal as a study of this scale could hope to show.
Management of this disease has improved over the last few months. More people hospitalized are surviving.[1]

By going outside you are likely to spread the virus.
Don't get up-close with crowds of strangers, sure, but growing evidence suggests 6' outdoors is safer than 20'-plus in any enclosed, recirculating-air indoors.
Now, if you go outside in order to enter some other indoors, with people who may be infected, you're creating risks.

I've been taking Vitamin D3 5000 IU and Vitamin K2 MK-7 100 mcg daily since February to boost my immune system, and I've noticed a radical difference in my colds. I used to get a major cold every 2-3 month and they were really bad lasting two weeks with fever, fatigue, coughs, colds, really stuffy nose, etc. Now? The two colds I've had were over in a week and the symptoms were so incredibly mild - mostly a light runn…
Careful with Vitamin D. When you get a chance, go see your doctor and ask him to check your vitamin D levels. Don't forget to tell them you are taking suplements.

There's very little risk of transmission if you're outside and 2m away from other people, even if intermittently you're closer than that. Even more so if one or the other of you is masked.
Places to be more concerned about are bottlenecks like lobbies and elevators on the way to/from outside.
