@drethelin Ben Franklin put a lot of hope into libraries: "These Libraries have improved the general Conversation of the Americans, made the common tradesmen and farmers as intelligent as most Gentlemen from other Countries."
@drethelin@a_space_person Robert Reed's Great Ship series. Not necessary to read in order, as the novellas are better than the full length novels. Katabasis is a good place to start and get a feel for the world.
@drethelin There is a small molecule, (though not a peptide) that works very well for this condition: C2H5OH. Indeed, people have made billions with it.
Today, conflicts and fatalities from conflicts are at a record low. I have lived through the most peaceful decades in human history. Watching the news, with its never-ending flow of horrifying images, it is almost impossible to believe that.

@pdubdev To clarify my question, the data for Covid and deaths from all causes is for the time period from 2/1/2020 to 9/12/2020. Is the averaged 2015-2019 data also for these weeks, or for the whole year?

@Humble_Analysis ok, so if I understand you correctly, this chart for the South should be titled: regions 4,6,9. Right now it says regions 1,2,3,5. This is great work, but I want to make sure I understand the charts correctly.
@Humble_Analysis yes, I meant 4, 6, 9. The titles of the charts for the Southern and Northern states are identical. Is this an error? There is no chart with the title: regions 4,6,9
