A friend whose specialty is Housing Policy showed me two side by side maps at some point during this pandemic. One side was a 1930s redline map of a US City (I forget which city), basically where you couldn't get a mortgage because it was a Black neighborhood. The other side was a map of COVID death rates. The two maps were shockingly similar.
My daughter’s friend was in her early twenties and died after contracting covid in omicron wave ~ she worked at the front end of a large and crowded, popular retail store. A relatives younger coworker died suddenly at his desk from covid emergency heart issue. The community or societal extensive list of people who worked in “public facing essential jobs “~ who died during big and small peaks or surges of covid illness = tragic
Congratulations on publishing this paper-- what a huge amount of work! Though anyone who does any kind of reporting/number crunching will know, creating the report is the important and enormous first step... but the report isn't the end product; the action plan and data-drive. behavior changes are.
I really hope this paper gets our leaders, builders, landlords, and school boards to prioritize indoor air quality.
Would love to see a collaboration between your team and the team at TWiV, especially as this paper gets the visibility it so needs and deserves. Congratulations again!
Curious boiled down to what happens with future outbreaks from this report. The implications for mandates (sorry to say that word), what government at all levels can take from this if much. schools, mitigations. I know its primarily medical. And health agencies from local to Fed like NIH. CDC, FDA can get from this report. My hope would have been to have a 9/11 type Commission WITHOUT current politicians but experts to look at the good, bad, and ugly from the US Covid response. Without finger pointing but just to learn what worked and didn't work.
Thanks for your care with this and the to all on the team who did such a great job. I would also be interested in your walking us through the paper with a Q & A, and hopefully that could be available to a wide audience - something the media might very much use and appreciate to help spread the word. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Such important information and data if we truly want to have a healthcare system and public health that is equitable. I remember when COVID first started reading that Massachusetts would do a racial and disabled breakdown of COVID deaths and cases. They did make data for the racial component public for a short time, but then stopped it. They never recorded the statistics for disabled Massachusetts residents with COVID. Thanks for sticking to it.
I am sad but not surprised by these findings.

I would be interested in a Q and A video walking us through these important findings.

Do you sleep?
Do you have ideas or speculations as to why the age 25-60 population was impacted so much? Is anyone researching this question?
Congratulations, Dr. Faust. Some compelling and surprising findings

I’d be very interested in knowing what the impacts of public policy had on mortality. Thank you.
