   When I took a retirement planning course, one thing the MD hammered   
   home during her segment was the importance of taking a vitamin D   
   supplement.  The further north you live, the less time you spend   
   outside, and the darker your skin, the more likely you are to have a   
   vitamin D deficiency:   
      
   "Almost 70% of the US population has insufficient levels of vitamin D   
   when defined as less than 30 ng/mL, according to data combined from   
   many studies."

   OTOH, I would suggest that you probably want to see a doctor first if   
   you plan on taking more that 1,000 IU a day.   
      
      
   And this is regardless of COVID.
