Our 1st April piece is up—“Research Note: COVID-19 Is Not an Independent Cause of Death.” @marciacastrorj @susiegurzenda @CassioMTurra @SunKim0710 T. Andrasfay & N. Goldman examine COVID estimates in Brazil and USA. @HarvardChanSPH @Cedeplar @HarvardDRCLAS https://t.co/G2TToCn0vi

[Marcia Castro @marciacastrorj]

#COVID19 is not independent of other causes of death
The assumption of independence can lead to either an overestimate (Brazil) or an underestimate (US) of the decline in e0, depending on how the number of other reported causes of death changed in 2020

When South Korea, a model country for the pandemic, has >400,000 new cases in a day, leading the world per capita, you take notice. Tests 4X the US with <1/6th the population. BA.2 is 26% as of this week's report.
Very high 2-shot vaxx 87%, 3-shot 63%. The pandemic isn't over.

The purpose of education isn't only to impart knowledge and skills. It's to instill a love of learning.

Intellectual curiosity is seeing as much beauty in ideas and data as you do in art and music.

A mark of a great teacher is a room filled with intrinsic motivation.
