@ GoergeFocky: The dosage of orally taken DHEA is mostly somewhere between 25 and 100 mg per day so 50 mg seem to be a sweet spot, I'm close to 90 kg.
On Vitamin D there is a bunch of papers reporting the influence on the immune system from Diabetes 1 over tuberculosis, influenza, HIV, EBV, HHV, varizella and so on. Even the survival rate of ARDS (the state that cause the death in SARS-CoV is significantly worse in VitD deficient people.
At least that paper form ULCA call Vit D and steroid hormon in it's title: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29798901/
It's not a 17-keto steroid of course, but I never claimed that.
Even oral 25mg is a huge dose. The supp industry really messed up knowledge of DHEA.
Influencing the mmune system is not and never a one way track. Ascribing universal benefits to Vit D is reductionistic and wrong. It can help various conditions, no arguement here, but it is poorly understood. And here the mess begins. Vit D deficient persons, like CoV-2 sick, might not benefit from Vit D supplementation becasue immunity is derailed massively. Fastening one screw might wreck more havoc.
And supplemental D3 doesn't just turn to calitriol in the liver - that transormation too needs specific conditions that are more often than not impaired in the elderly or sick.
I don't argue your stack there, take it by all means, but universal claims of usefulness are to be questioned

A huge slowdown can be seen in a market similar to mones - the perfume market. Of course, perfumes are much more popular, but you can have a certain reference, keeping the scale.
I used to be a perfume fanatic, I tested thousands of fragrances, I had hundreds of bottles and samples, now I'm less interested in it because I already have my favourite fragrances I use and I have an interesting collection of perfumes left.
However, I am still a user of several national perfume forums. People there describe perfumes, sell, buy, share, etc.
What attracts my attention the most is the threads, in which people describe which perfume they used today. I can say this: compared to the standard amount, the number of posts on this topic is about 30%. So we can observe a decrease in perfume consumption by about 70%. People openly write that they sit at home, do not go anywhere and do not want to perfume yourself. We can also see a decrease in the number of people willing to do new shopping. I put two of my bottles up for sale at a very good price and there were 0 people willing to buy, and I always had a few people willing to buy within 2-3 hours.
I think it could be similar in the pheromone market now, people will use less and will hold off on buying.

Micheal Osterholm said this is probably going to run til Aigust. Everybody's going to get it, it's about flattening the curve at this point.
PS my friend in North Carolina said there was a rumor that teens were running into supermarket and intentionally coughing on things
