This is an usual phenomena that the poor people remain more longer exposed to sunlight, specially mid day sunlight . Because of their nature of work engagement they have great advantage to get exposure to sun light, does this support /compliment COVID prevention in any way . As there are some research instances where the correlation of Vitamin D in COVID prevention has been highlighted . Any clear scientific evidence on that ??
This is a good concept to study of exposure of sunlight in covid prevention and it's advantage on the people of poor community. I have also found some news articles which were giving emphasis on the contribution of Vitamin D for a Covid prevention, however I have not read any scientific articles explaining them. In my opinion, although there might be other factors to study in a community of poor peoples such as awareness, diet, long term diseases etc., if we take a case of sunlight exposure only, there should be some contribution of it. It would be really interesting research article to read.
It is difficult to answer. There are several factors like vaccines, social interactions, personal hygiene etc. You have to analyse all these factors along with the impact of sunlight then you may say about any correlation. There are several scientific papers which deal with the impact of temperature on covid spread rate using mathematical modelling. Both type of correlations (positive/negative) was observed for different places of the globe.
