Speaking about ICU,
A study came out in Spain last week (the latest) on vit D or Calcifediol which is your liver converting vit D
I have supplied the study on here and conclusion.

Basically 76 people with covid over 60s yo put in 2 groups, in hospital.
50 taking vit D -----------------------1 went to ICU only 2%----------------- No deaths.
26 not taking Vit D -----------------13 went to ICU only 50%---------------- 2 deaths

Conclusion
Our pilot study demonstrated that administration of a high dose of Calcifediol or 25-hydroxyvitamin D, a main metabolite of vitamin D endocrine system, significantly reduced the need for ICU treatment of patients requiring hospitalization due to proven COVID-19. Calcifediol seems to be able to reduce severity of the disease, but larger trials with groups properly matched will be required to show a definitive answer.

More research will be required to convince health ministers, again not a cure though this can be very helpful in preventing deaths.
However all the news over last week was on a hope of vaccine and vaccine hiccup. Nothing on D.
Of course, I know why. No money in it for the pharmaceutical companies. So just squash the idea.

Also you can find a tube briefing on this by Dr John Campbell, Vitamin D first clinical trial.
