I do the same, although closer to three or four times a week (including a larger “Saturday-night-with-MST3K” dose for joy) and I’ve noticed my tolerance is increasing. We still live with prohibition, which means my edibles (a) are homemade and (b) have inconsistent doses. Access to measured dosed edibles would be fantastic but legalisation here is a long way away.

“Suppose you can bring the light inside the body, either through the skin or in some other way”
“Suppose that we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light”
These statements apparently did not come from butthole sunshine research, but from dark asshole research delivered by Bill Bryan:
“Our most striking observation to date is the powerful effect solar light appears to have on killing the virus on both surfaces & in the air. We see a similar effect with both temperature & humidity … increasing them is unfavorable for the virus.”
This might check out but in 2019 a whistleblower submitted a complaint accusing Bryan of using his former position in the Department of Energy to funnel business to a private energy company. He allegedly used his Energy Department position to try to steer government funds to the center, which United States and Ukrainian officials believe to be aligned with Rinat Akhmetov, a billionaire oligarch, and Manafort bro, who maintains close connections to pro-Russia political forces in Ukraine.

So you’ll just keep upping your dosage as your tolerance keeps increasing? Hmmm…

You don’t celebrate May Day WTF?
Oh…
There was disagreement among labor unions at this time about when a holiday celebrating workers should be, with some advocating for continued emphasis of the September march-and-picnic date while others sought the designation of the more politically-charged date of May 1. Conservative Democratic President Grover Cleveland was one of those concerned that a labor holiday on May 1 would tend to become a commemoration of the Haymarket Affair and would strengthen socialist and anarchist movements that backed the May 1 commemoration around the globe.[10] In 1887, he publicly supported the September Labor Day holiday as a less inflammatory alternative.[11] The date was formally adopted as a United States federal holiday in 1894.[ citation needed ]
Since the mid-1950s, the United States has celebrated Loyalty Day and Law Day on May 1.
Loyalty Day sound like something from dystopian fiction.

Avoiding that, but each day is a minor lottery with doses.

Yeah. Sorry, that sucks. It’s legal here, so I do trust the dosage.

Doing that might improve your quarantine experience. YMMV.

I though that image posted by @milliefink must be a parody of absurd wellness trends. It can’t possibly be real. And yet it is 
It would just need a differently shaped “sunlight applicator” 
They should probably design it to be easier to clean too.

The sad thing is that someone might try to do it to themselves and their children, because president of the US said so.

Once you get past the marketing hype in the onebox, some interesting analysis of online information / misinformation regarding the pandemic.
This report represents a preliminary analysis of data analyzed by Graphika on the global online conversation surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. The unprecedented volume of misinformation around the coronavirus, spreading both across platforms and across the globe, has yielded unique network structures and has illustrated the virality of mis- and disinformation in crisis situations. A global cacophony of voices is communicating conflicting and politicized information about the coronavirus, further amplified by the organic spread of misinformation
from audiences eager to consume and share updates and advice on the coronavirus in a time of mass uncertainty.

Coronavirus not showing in Finnish mortality figures
New figures from Statistics Finland suggest coronavirus is not yet causing a rise in total death numbers.
In week 13, 1014 people died in Finland. Of those, 80 percent were aged over 70. The number is 58 fewer than the same week in 2019 and 140 fewer than in 2018.
In week 12 the number of deaths in Finland was 1055 and in week 14 it was 603, although that figure can still be adjusted.
Statistics Finland is to start publishing mortality figures every two weeks in response to a request from Eurostat.
