Sunlight for COVID-19
32nd treatment shown to reduce risk in December 2021, now with p = 0.000052 from 5 studies.
Lower risk for mortality, hospitalization, recovery, and cases.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine treatments.
5,100+ studies for 112 treatments. c19early.org
Analysis of 359 countries and regions showing COVID-19 cases associated with reduced solar irradiance.

Higher Solar Irradiance Is Associated With a Lower Incidence of Coronavirus Disease 2019
Mar Guasp, Carlos Laredo, Xabier Urra
Clinical Infectious Diseases, doi:10.1093/cid/ciaa575
We studied the relationship between the incidence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), demographical, and climatological measurements in different regions across the world. Lower solar irradiance and higher population density were independent predictors of greater COVID-19 outbreaks. Further studies on the potential protective effect of sunlight over COVID-19 are warranted.
