    Damn. Average 2.3x higher risk for blacks relative to whites with 5-6x in bad pockets. The protests I suspect will make this disparity even worse. The wrong side of the api sucks.https://twitter.com/APMResearch/status/1270828457417674753 …

        Some calculations this week in Europe. Your ~2.5x more likely to die in a European country with a male leader than one with a female leader.

        I'm not seeing a control for air quality. The UK equivalent study was criticised because people who live in low air quality areas would have reduced lung function and increased mortality.

        I wonder what it would look like if you controlled for poverty, population density, other factors. As far as I can tell, those kinds of factors aren't considered.

        Of course. Black people have the greatest vitamin D deficiency. It's quite possible I am doing more for the black community than any other person on Earth right now. So if you aren't helping me, you aren't serious about helping. Idgaf anymore, not going to hold back on reality
