Good call, these are indeed useful, though I’m not sure if worth it. Guessing 20 mins total for vitamin D for a 3x decrease in 10% of the population is roughly a 7% risk reduction, while maybe 10 hours on the spirometer for a ~~3% effect? (Eyeballing this study in pneumonia sequelae looks like an 80% effect from this over 2 years, plus other interventions.) If this thing on average knocks 2 months off my life, a 3% effect is still 2 days, plus you get other health benefits, BUT if I’m planning on quarantining hard enough to not get it, the benefits do go down.
Incentive sperometers are often used for the prevention of pneumonia. Maybe this suggests using those as well?
