I don't want to cause alarm, but has anyone checked in with @statsepi.bsky.social recently?

If you come across people tweeting a Nature article about how N95 masks would have dramatically lowered Covid-19 cases in England, please inform them this was *literally coded into the statistical model used*

M pneumoniae is an obligate, intracellular, parasitic bacteria most famous for causing "atypical" pneumonia (a loose term usually meaning not the usual appearance on CXR)
It usually comes in periodic epidemics every 4 to 7 years
