It could be that the lazy contrarians & COVID ghouls are wrong (they often are, with their anemic and fake concern for children's welfare), and that COVID policies had far less to do with the spike in child homicides than did America's awful & cruel gun and economic policies.

Does a soul good to see this...

US has built more houses in last 60 years than formed households. We subsidize housing where strong economies attract people. This stimulates the economy and attracts more people. Why not try vouchers for people who go (stay) where housing is cheaper? nyti.ms/3Tr8kbK

Wow!! Google earthquake warning works! I got an alert to redirect shaking. 10 seconds later the house shook... and shook.

Bad metaphor. ACF captures relationships between values at all t's and t-n. Not between a specific t (e.g., you) and t-n (e.g., your ancestor n generations ago). The relationship would also have to appear for all your antecedents and theirs at t-n. allisonhorst.com/time-series-acf

I just learned of this awful loss. Harvey was right enough to stay relevant and wrong enough to stay controversial. He was also wise enough to work for its own sake and not for approbation. Rest in peace my friend.

Indeed. Can the public health community please rally behind the effort to duplicate this program in North America?

Hoping colleagues in epidemiology and process control engineering will give us feedback on how we might improve the approach described in this new paper. Particularly hoping for reactions from Germany. And thanks to my patient coauthors. bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

More great stuff from Office for National Statistics (ONS) Coronavirus Infection Study-these lines show cumulative incidence *within* each variant period. Almost 1/2 of population infected in summer BA4/5 wave alone. Contrast that w/ death #s per wave & THANK GOD for the #vaccines. ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati…

Two most prophetic books of the 20th Century: Future Shock and The End of Liberalism. Agree?

Working on a "dashboard" for US Pediatric Suicide in the years following the pandemic. We currently have reliable data to July 2022. This dashboard is pretty dense, so let's look at the individual components. The overall message clear: no major shifts in pediatric suicide /1

Maybe, but as hell doesn't explain the California map.

I'm afraid Jackson's war on reality will continue...

And so, Mr. President, rage, rage against the dying of the light... Do not go softly into that dark night...

Today, time did what no Republican ever could... Defeat Joe Biden.

And it's waiting for Donald Trump.

Madam Vice President, now that you've started this, let's do it right... Get a VP who'll motivate those we need most to win... Put Amy Klobuchar on the ticket.
