That's true, but my question is: At what point would the body naturally level off if it were continually gaining sufficient vitamin D through sunlight synthesis?
The body regulates the amount of vitamin D produced from sun exposure so you won't become toxic.

Exactly. That's the point I'm making. Given an adequate natural source of vitamin D, what is the level at which the body regulates it?
If a person regularly gets, say, 8 hours a day of sunlight, enough for full sufficiency, at how many nanograms per milliliter does the body naturally cut off its own vitamin D synthesis?

80. After studying hundreds of thousands of people in different populations, it was determined that 80-100 ng/mL is not achievable naturally. Above 80 can only be achieved with some kind of supplementation.

This will be especially true when it comes to opening the skies and resuming international travel in any significant quantity or of any quality.
To do that, “we need to immunize all countries of the world,” explained Lancet editor-in-chief Richard Horton to The Jerusalem Post. “To reach herd immunity, about two-thirds of the world population – four billion to five billion people – need to be vaccinated. Each person has to have two doses – that is 10 billion doses of the vaccine.”
As such, the pandemic will not be solved by spring 2021, health experts said. It will not be over in 2022. And according to the most optimistic predictions, the skies will only really begin to open, and travel and tourism will resume, sometime between 2023 and 2024.
The impact on people’s lives will likely not only be whether they can visit the Eiffel Tower or Great Wall of China. While the world recovers from COVID-19, it will be plagued by economic and health challenges that impact everyone.
“We live in a global world, with or without realizing it,” said Michael Edelstein, a professor of population health in Bar-Ilan University’s Faculty of Medicine, in an interview with the Post. “A lot of our lives rely on interconnectivity.”
This article offers some perspective on the future for all of us
Right...much better to let public health policy be set by politically motivated ignoramuses.
Yeah, we heard you. You want to continue ruining the lives of hundreds of millions of young children, working age adults, and retired adults because a small fraction (far less than 1%) of the total population will suffer adverse consequences.
How about we let each person decide what's best for himself or herself and let those who want to hide in a cave for the rest of their life do so. As the title to this thread suggests, we'll likely have to live with Covid for many years, so you can hide in a cave if you wish while the overwhelming majority of the rest of us will resume living a somewhat normal life. You do what you want and let others do what they want.

Like the way maskless Republican Senators did what they wanted, and infected masked ones during the US Capital riots? Your rights end where mine begin.
Oh, and hyperbole much?
