It’s sad and tragic. Shame on the government for not protecting them. It doesn’t take a rocket science to know that disease will strike the elderly first, especially those with co-morbidities.

• The odds of death was higher in older and male cases with pre-existing condition and below normal Vitamin D levels.
• When controlling for age, sex, and comorbidity, Vitamin D status is strongly associated with COVID-19 mortality.

When compared to cases with normal Vitamin D status, death was approximately 10.12 times more likely for Vitamin D deficient cases (OR=10.12; p
