Interesting that “alcohol consumption” didn’t rank in the study’s “top 4” lifestyle features. Wonder if this is because it potentially overlaps somewhat with two of the other features (diet & body shape). “}}

Four Years Later, Covid Isn’t Done With Us – WSJ

March 10, 2024

@NAChristakis, Great article! It jogged my memory just as I was beginning to forget! I agree that the vaccines were a scientific triumph and am mystified why this isn’t better “remembered” by the public.

However, I do think that flip-flops by the public health authorities, especially on masks and the aerosol nature of virus transmission, really undermined people’s faith in medical/scientific knowledge.

https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2023/10/15/how-to-predict-the-outcome-of-a-coin-toss At almost 51% to 49%, this is a pretty great disparity. Surprised that someone hasn’t figured out how to employ this in gambling.
