@MattGelb I am a Canadian working in the US and I have to be vaccinated to cross the border. It is not a “Canada” issue.

[Steven Cook @cookstev2020]

@ImreallyJK @TooHot4Penguins @Buster_ESPN Looking at the number of games missed for vaccinated and unvaccinated players is flawed. Almost all players are vaccinated, so the denominator is way larger for the vaccinated group. Look at the percent of games missed for each group and the story is way different.

you get an award for "tobacco control" if you help *ban* e-cigarettes? This is like getting the Nobel Peace Prize for banning peace talks

@fordnation @celliottability @SylviaJonesMPP One province responded to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases by introducing a mass lockdown in mid April. One neighbouring state did nothing. Which one is Ontario?

[Steven Cook @cookstev2020]

Here are the 7-day average number of COVID cases for Ontario and Michigan. Question: which province/state imposed a provincial lockdown in mid-April (A or B)? Note: this obviously isn't meant to be causal but it does show the value of comparative research.

@dylan_rand @neiltyson @NASA If we didn't go to Mars, did we at least go to the moon? If we didn't go to Mars or the moon, is the world even round? From this, was Copernicus even real, or was he just part of a feudal conspiracy? So.many.questions.

@RobinLehner you equated your privileged life, chartered jets, and first class hotels to a prison. How did you expect people to respond? Maybe you should use your fame to do something productive about the mental health crisis.

[Steven Cook @cookstev2020]

This isn't about Lehner or the NHL. It is about stopping the asymptomatic spread of the virus and its variants. It is to protect other people in society. Many of whom help pay his $4 million salary. #notavictim

[Vince Sapienza @VinceSapienza]

Robin Lehner just spoke for over 10 minutes, extremely upset, frustrated, & disappointed with the NHL, who said players were promised COVID quarantine/isolation restrictions would ease if players were vaccinated.

He says that they were lied to.

Business idea: someone needs to open a daycare on a golf course. ASAP. #COVID19Ontario #FordNation

[Steven Cook @cookstev2020]

Just received this emergency alert. “A stay-at-home order is in effect...it’s the law.” Also, if you are out on the golf course (which is permitted), try not to drink beer out of the same bottle. #COVID19 #FordNation #OntarioShutdown #ontariolockdown

@Lbates01L If you want proof, why not read the top scientific journals in the world? The articles are easy to locate. Then you don't have to distrust the MSM. Classic win-win.

[Steven Cook @cookstev2020]

Great advice. Not to mention that the oversupply of PhDs on the market creates the need for publications.

You can only have exclusive close contact with one person living alone but you can have unlimited and repeated contact with strangers at Walmart. Makes sense.

[Doug Ford @fordnation]

Effective April 3 at 12:01 a.m., individuals who live alone may consider having exclusive close contact with one other household.

From CSEPH faculty Nancy Fleischer, "What this research shows is that Black Michiganders have also had more severe illness, had worse experience with the health care system and suffered more from the economic consequences of the pandemic."

One year ago, I left my lectureship @CardiffQStep @CUCriminology for a postdoctoral research fellowship @UM_CSEPH. I am grateful to see my family every day and had no idea that I would only have to commute to the basement.

Things I don’t miss about UK sociology: the excessive referencing and adulation of Harold Garfinkel.

[Steven Cook @cookstev2020]

@UM_CSEPH Spoiler alert: the results are quit a bit different in subsequent analyses when we used discrete time hazard models. Those results are more robust, and we are excited to discuss these findings in tomorrow's RRP.
