      Once I produced this plot I got really interested to give the paper a closer look. Now, what do you think drive the terribly diverging lines in the plot? (here is the plot again, in case you don't want to scroll upwards) 10/pic.twitter.com/DzCNFhaDCz

      From the table courteously provided in the same research letter we can learn that between March 5 and May 7 in Maryland there were 22 suicide deaths among Black in 2020 compared with 8, 14, and 12 in 2017, 2018, and 2019, correspondingly. That's it. No joke. 11/pic.twitter.com/Wt33VcWUQg

      The numbers for White were slightly decreasing, which – against the early speculations on the topic – goes rather in line with the growing evidence from around the world. See a great large overview of the topic by @GidMK 12/https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1336493616097681412 …

      Just to admire the plot again. Imagine, you have only a handful of events, not yet even data points, from just one not too big population. How would you massage this dataset to provide an appearance of a serious comprehensive study on a topic? 13/

      I'm not sure if any particular summary message is needed to wrap up the post-pub peer review of this ridiculous paper. If I'm still to formulate one, let it be: Do pay attention to you #dataviz – it needs to be correct, informative, and beautiful (in this order) 14/ fin

      I think this is an inappropriate claim. Your hyperfocus on the analysis negates the fact that these are people, lives that are lost to suicide.

      Inappropriate is publishing a sloppy paper on a hot topic in a supposedly-carefully-peer-reviewed journal. Following your logic one can publish any bs on any sensitive topic and then label any critique inappropriate. That's just a ridiculous take talking about science.

      Following your logic, science is the only explanation for the phenomenon of suicide. Again, would you share this perspective with the family members of those who lost their lives to suicide? Would you like to tell them that 'science' doesn't fit?

      Pfff... Sorry, you are really trying to diverge everybody from the point here. I'm not a suicidologist as you can see. Here we discuss science, in particular, data analysis. For the major issues with this paper, these are data points. All your sentiments are beyond the point.

      Sorry, you are really trying to diverge everybody from the point. You're not a suicidologist, as you can see. Here, we discuss your preoccupation w/o recognizing the context of BIPOC folks who are disproportionately affected by COVID-19, in this case, re suicide.

      I'm not a suicidologist but I am an epidemiologist with personal experience of mental health issues and suicidality. All of that is largely unimportant, because what we're talking about is the statistics and whether the published work is meaningful (it is not)
