#COVID19 projections will be hugely influential in the coming months as we prepare to slowly re-open society. Introducing @CovidProjection, a tool for epidemiologists/policy makers to track differences between models and for the same model over time📈📉 https://t.co/S7UwaiVZpT

Recap of the 1st round of the 2022 draft based on our draft outcome model (w/ @RMoreau18 & Kim Kroetch)

This super @PopovichN chart is imo the single most important message to give people about diet and climate change.

You can cut your dietary carbon footprint almost as much by replacing beef & lamb with other meat, as by going totally veggie.

Eating green needn’t mean no meat.

@GregorydSam What’s your backend stack at Inter Miami?

[David Yu @yuorme]

@CT_Bergstrom @poach187 @IHME_UW Apologies, I had quietly shut things down in summer 2021 as the site wasn’t getting much traffic and the data updater was buggy.

Ofc, this was before omicron hit.

No promises as the next few months will be very busy, but if there’s interest I can try and get it back online.

[David Yu @yuorme]

@RealNickyVee Right, but I think that’s why they’re shutting down. Trying to reduce transmission from “non-essential” gatherings so that the “essential” gatherings over the holidays are safer. Agree that gyms are probably relatively safe but theatres and live sports less so

[David Yu @yuorme]

@RealNickyVee I hope I’m wrong, but so far the evidence points to omicron being a different beast. It may be slightly less severe (especially since most of us are vaccinated) but the fact that it’s 2.5x more transmissible is going to put a lot of people into the hospital if we do nothing

[Paul Romer @paulmromer]

Faster growth gives negative bias to naive estimate of omicron severity. Using recent rates of growth from @trvrb and @twenseleers, the bias is by an order of magnitude.

This graph gives a qualitative explanation. Blog post calculates the numbers.

Next weekend I’ll be at #OTTHAC21 talking on @apple_hockey. It’ll be an overview of the model building process of APPLE, draft value, and releasing some preliminary 2021 NHL draft rankings. Also want to congratulate to all the #bigdatacup finalist and HMs. Best of luck!

2 years since Expected Threat (xT) was first published! Thought I’d highlight some of the exciting follow-up work that various people have done since:

[David Yu @yuorme]

@matthew_barlowe @caitlin_barlowe Feels weird to use the rocket emoji outside the context of WSB but congrats! 🚀🚀🚀

[David Yu @yuorme]

@ice_cole_data Ballsy. Like Milhaud Berdin but without the puck skills

[David Yu @yuorme]

@sid_analytics @nnstats Nice. For the goalie data, are you talking about predicted starting goalies or just goalies that actually started. The NHL API definitely has the latter. The former is a bit trickier (and less accurate) but sources do exist

[David Yu @yuorme]

He told them before the election to "stand back and stand by". Guess this is what he had in mind

Police officers drew their guns inside the House chamber on Wednesday after a pro-Trump mob broke into the Capitol building and thousands swarmed the steps outside. https://t.co/SLrckdWNJR
