My wife was worried as I left for the ER. She had a point. kevinmd.com/blog/2020/04/my-… via @kevinmd
Off the usual topics, I made a new TAS (tool-assisted speed run) of this obscure-but-great game, using heavy RNG manipulation to skip items and beat the prior best time by almost a minute!

To go with it, I made a video with a zoomed-out version of the dungeon, inspired by @NESAtlas but using camera hack scripts and emulator data to show offscreen enemy movements, a game-aesthetic scroll timer, and more.

MA hospitals are bursting during #Omicron. What's different or not with this variant.
“Many, many, more people are getting infected. Although a smaller percentage are getting hospitalized or dying, it's still very significant because it’s so contagious.”

New interactive site charts Covid stats with last year's data overlaid on this year's - easy comparison, controls for seasonal issues. Inspired by 91-Divoc.

I wrote this from the imagined perspective of a patient who died recently from Covid-19 and was brought in as an unknown male. #SuperBowl #Covid @TomBrady @drsanjaygupta @ChrisCuomo

I didn't find this elsewhere, so I made charts with the % beds filled by Covid-19 patients in Massachusetts hospitals using state and other public data. Trends are mixed but overall definitely upward...enjoy! @steveannear @mbebinger @goldbergcarey

This is a short narrative based on a patient I saw who started home after working a shift and wound up in the ED; a sad, thought provoking case. It's told from her perspective amid varying levels of delirium from multiple illnesses. #COVID19 #medicine

Here's a chart I made with some comments on trends in the number of hospitalizations for COVID-19 in each state, which is finally available in most states. @jburnmurdoch @pbump @ezraklein

I learned R this weekend and tried it out on some more COVID-19 charts, this time comparing states with the highest per capita death rates to expected death rates from other top killers. link.medium.com/MifU7zFXh5 #covid-19 #dataviz #medicine #pandemic
I try to peer ahead a bit with today's post. How long before we're all NY? #COVID-19 #Dataviz #NewYork #Massachusetts

2/2 55% of US hospitalizations are for people under 65. Letting the young/healthy return early will likely blow US healthcare capacity by a factor of 10-15. #SaveLives #ContainmentFirst @tomfriedman nytimes.com/2020/03/22/opini…
