JAMA Today: COVID-19 doubles the risk of children developing Type 1 diabetes.
jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
ALT The study includes comparisons of pre v post pandemic onset, as well as pandemic-era C19+ v C19- children. Estimates are larger for the 1st comparison (12.1 v 6.4 kids per 100 person years) than 2nd (14.0 v 8.6), likely because of under-diagnosis of C19, i.e., the "controls" in the pandemic era often also had undiagnosed Covid. No way of knowing the impact of repeat infections, e.g., whether the risk is mainly on the 1st infection, 2nd, 3rd, etc., increases cumulatively, or what.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month
Results showed that close to half of the participants secured housing, and nearly $600K saved in public service costs due to fewer ER visits & jail stays. They also saw improved mental health

I also really want us as educators who presumably care about the children in front of us to consider what we are doing when we insist on using something that is using the energy output of entire countries given how that further endangers those same children’s future.
