PEOPLE UNDERESTIMATE AMOUNT OF SUPPORT FOR VACCINES AND MASK MANDATES, BOOTH FINDS: Businesses are underestimating the public s desire for stricter public health measures, according to a new study from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business that suggests that more restrictions may actually boost a company s bottom line.
In an experiment conducted by behavioral marketing professionals Oleg Urminsky and Abigail Bergman, 77 percent of participants surveyed said they d prefer to go to a hospital that required employee vaccinations over one that only recommended them. However, participants also underestimated how many people had the same preference, estimating that only 64 percent of the public would choose a hospital that requires employees vaccinations.

University of Chicago Research on Vitamin D
A new research study at the University of Chicago Medicine has found that when it comes to COVID-19, having vitamin D levels above those traditionally considered sufficient may lower the risk of infection, especially for Black people.
The research team is now recruiting participants for two separate clinical trials testing the efficacy of vitamin D supplements for preventing COVID-19.
This research is an expansion of an earlier study showing that a vitamin D deficiency (less than 20 ng/ml) may raise the risk of testing positive for COVID-19. In the current study, those results were further supported, finding that individuals with a vitamin D deficiency had a 7.2% chance of testing positive for the virus. A separate study recently found that more than 80% of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were vitamin D deficient.
