Many countries have Vitamin D deficient populations, including Italy: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5986426/ In Italy, it gets worse the older the population gets. It is also an issue in Germany:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4499202/ I make no claims other than: 1) there is a very strong correlation between vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency and poor outcomes for COVID-19, and 2) many populations, including those in sunny countries, suffer from widespread vitamin D insufficiency. I for one have been taking 1,000 IUs of vitamin D every day since March, and trying to get sun exposure mid-day whenever I can. |

The comparison is possible because it’s per million. See Italy and Spain hit before they were aware what is going on., then introducing lockdowns.
See Sweden’s and the US denial, then limiting the initial outbreaks but continuing just not doing enough.
See Greece and Germany doing early enough good enough measures, and still doing it.
It’s that simple. The US not being aware how wrong they are doing is a crime to their own people. It’s historical failure.
You claim: “there is a very strong correlation between vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency and poor outcomes for COVID-19“ — show me that on the graph above. It’s obviously a red herring talking about Vitamin D once one sees it.
