Just saw My Dead Friend Zoe, a very real, true story of personal sacrifice, redemption & healing, all important and timely topics.

It doesn’t follow any of the usual Hollywood tropes, and its authenticity will touch you, ready or not.

It won SXSW’s audience award.

Must see. Go see it now.

Strong exponential growth of Flu like illness now resulting as a result of holiday gatherings with little abatement. And yes, mostly COVID.

The west and South are faring worst so far, but I expect the rest of the U.S. to follow.

If you haven’t, get the vax update & mask up indoors.

New AI models demonstrate vastly improved performance and now perform FAR better than human doctors on a growing array diagnostic tasks.

Here is a slide from the very first technical report from the Chinese ministry of health from the Wuhan outbreak in March 2020.

It shows how R of the native strain was ~3.8 and even remained over 1 after the first set of abatements were imposed. That lead to the regional lockdown.

Here are just a few of the publicly published graphs we collected, but ultimately offered Reff estimates by US county. It ranges from 1.3 to over 15.

Large health (life expectancy) disparities across the ten Americas.

Major influences? Vaccine uptake rates, masking uptake, drug overdose, diet and lifestyle. All highly correlated with economic strata.

@michael-hoerger.bsky.social spotted the CDC minimizing COVID stats yet again with creative graph scaling and posted about it on the other service. Thought I’d share it here.

Don’t fall for the propaganda. The pandemic continues unabated!

Good eye Michael!

Ai now outperforms an expert panel of doctors on critical metric of care: empathy, usefulness, and correctness with less potential harm.

The only prompt needed was "Please write the response as if you were a physician"
