he does point out that school didn’t teach him anything useful and now he’s Scott Alexander, and it didn’t teach me much of anything either, so search your experiences and draw your own conclusions, and then draw your own secondary conclusions about the pandemic.
Well, it took 15 years, but school did eventually teach me to stop trusting authority figures...
I don’t mention Vitamin D as much as I should, as it’s one of the practical things an individual can do that has high expected value in terms of preventing or helping with Covid, that would be a good idea even without Covid. And yet I struggle to remember to take it.
Do you take anything else daily, successfully? I find weekly pill boxes labeled with the weekdays helpful, I fill them once a week. Although, vitamin D doesn’t necessarily have to be taken daily, it builds up slowly in the body over time so you could easily double up after days you miss. One time I had an actual diagnosed deficiency, and the prescription vitamin D was a huge dose (50k IU) once a week for 8 weeks.
I don’t take anything else. I do know I should likely be taking at least calcium and probably a few others, but in practice I just do D, and take bigger doses when I do remember in order to compensate, since as far as I know it’s fine to do that.
