Some Useful Sources of COVID-19 Data

February 19, 2021 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

Like many people, I've spend the past year trying to understand what's happening with the pandemic, and I thought it might be useful to share some of my favorite websites for data on COVID-19 in the United States.CovidActNowIf you want a one-stop snapshot of how the pandemic is going, start at CovidActNow. They don't have a lot of fancy data tables and charts. Instead, … [Read more...] about Some Useful Sources of COVID-19 Data

The Windypundit Immunity Model

February 4, 2021 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

Some of you may know that I tweet out COVID-19 statistics and commentary once a week. One of my goals with this blog -- and by extension, my Twitter stream -- is that no one should be stupider for having read it.

December 10, 2020 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

You may have heard about a Danish study that supposedly showed that wearing a mask doesn't protect you against Covid-19.

(Short answer: It doesn't change anything.)Before doing that, I need to set some … [Read more...] about The Danish mask study and the evidence for community masking
