#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 time๐๐ https://t.co/S7UwaiVZpT
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 neednโt mean no meat.
@CT_Bergstrom@poach187@IHME_UW Apologies, I had quietly shut things down in summer 2021 as the site wasnโt 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 thereโs interest I can try and get it back online.
@RealNickyVee Right, but I think thatโs why theyโre shutting down. Trying to reduce transmission from โnon-essentialโ gatherings so that the โessentialโ gatherings over the holidays are safer. Agree that gyms are probably relatively safe but theatres and live sports less so
@RealNickyVee I hope Iโm 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 itโs 2.5x more transmissible is going to put a lot of people into the hospital if we do nothing
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 Iโll be at #OTTHAC21 talking on @apple_hockey. Itโll 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 Iโd highlight some of the exciting follow-up work that various people have done since:
@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
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
New paper w/ @StatsbyLopez, "Estimating the change in soccerโs home advantage during the
Covid-19 pandemic using bivariate Poisson regression"
We explore what happened to home advantage (HA) in 17 European โฝ๏ธ leagues in games played w/out fans.
