Para este reporte seguimos un marco de epidemiologia descriptiva para diseñar e implementar nuestro análisis. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. @leskocar @edwardsjk @ProfMattFox doi.org/10.1093/aje/kwac115

Covid at-home test: $25 Minimum wage: $7.25/hr So, 3 1/2 hours of work at minimum wage to afford an at home test. That’s half a day’s earnings. Free public testing: 2 1/2 hr wait in line That’s $18 lost wages assuming someone can take off work to stand in line.

Again, this is about the white power structure seeking to reify itself & find compromise between its most extreme & moderate factions when faced with increasing pressure to allow the birth of multiracial democracy. This is at least the 4th time we’ve gone thru this in the USA

The ongoing history of Black & Indigenous resistance to white settler colonialism is actively suppressed to maintain a narrative that white colonizers granted us freedom & that we must peacefully petition them via the system they established if we hope to achieve racial equality.

This hurts. I commend the authors for this robust investigation. Takeaway, even among low-risk pediatric surgical patients outcomes are still worse for Black kids. #healthequity nytimes.com/2020/07/20/healt…

Black Children Are More Likely to Die After Surgery Than White Peers, Study Shows (Published 2020)

A large study, published in the journal Pediatrics, suggests that disparities exist in surgery outcomes, even among healthy children.

A school board official on the radio jut said “we surveyed teachers and, after counting ‘non responses’ as votes for ‘in person’, about 50% of teachers want to teach in person this fall”. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️YOU CANNOT IMPUTE THE ANSWER YOU PREFER WHEN YOUR DATA ARE MISSING🔊🔊🔊

It would be interesting if, before you were allowed to download a paper, you had to input information on what your prior was on the exposure-outcome relationship. Would provide a wealth of info and allow interesting Bayesian analyses.

So the question is, given how steeply hospitalizations have risen, how steeply will deaths go up and will it mirror the increase in hospitalizations? My hope is we have learned how to treat COVID better but I’m not sure yet.

Our daily update is published. Both tests completed (758k) and new cases (65K) were near all-time highs. States reported 855 deaths, in line with the higher level we saw last week.
