There is a whole body of research around the ways that vitamin D modulates inflammation, helps regulate calcium homeostasis and strengthens circadian rhythm. Here is some relevant research:

- vitamin D is directly involved in regulating the renin-angiotensin system, including ACE2 expression. ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3999581/ )

- vitamin D has been shown to have anti-inflammatory activity with respect to cytokines specifically involved in advanced COVID-19 cases ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6164284/ )

- vitamin D and magnesium insufficiency both cause hypocalcemia, which has been connected to COVID-19 severity: ( https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-17575/v1 )

- magnesium and vitamin K2 also modulate calcium homeostasis ( you can look this one up yourself I need to get off this phone )
