Oops, typed this as I was falling asleep - 1:2100 rate was hospitalizations, not death, and over 65 population... nonetheless 565 US deaths per day does translate into A LOT of unreported Covid spreading freely right now. If NYT reporting 40k people hospitalized, and most are probably 65+, and the rate is somewhere around 1:2100 - that still a staggering number of covid cases. Tens of millions, right?

Anyway my math speculations aren’t that solid, but looking at NYT reporting 60k daily infections and 40k current hospitalizations... they should just stop with the daily cases already and pick a better metric. Sewage. But who wants to read that 🤢

Thanks for introducing me to Ben Mazer, I’ve read his articles in The Atlantic. Curious about metformin, too. I’m thinking this won’t hold up as well in non-obese?

Educating and persuading the average patient to take this will be a challenge

Like the “what I am reading,”, particularly when annotated.
