You can only learn the dynamics of a system if you sample it at least often as the shortest timescale of interest. If you under sample, you can learn nothing about fast processes. This is a basic fact of dynamical systems and needs to be part of all quantitative training.

The Black Forest Mill in Highland Mills, NY. It was always very good until it collapsed, but not uniquely so, except their German potato salad was perfect. Never had one that met the mark since. I want some now.😔

a big difference between saturday night when you're young and saturday night when you're no longer young is the meaning of ten o'clock. young ten o'clock means the night is really getting started. not young ten o'clock means sad because want to drink tea but can't do tea after 9 o'clock

The pandemic phase may be past but the callousness and ignorance on display is breathtaking In particular, lingering impacts remain and this is an opportunity to study and address postviral syndromes. And there is good science coming out of this that of course goes beyond applicability to one virus

I'm happy to see this year's winter COVID wave as muted as it was (strikingly, pretty absent it seems on the West Coast!) Additional observation re: influenza. With the benefit of tests, fairly confident now that the old adage "that's not flu, you'll know when it's flu" was ...mistaken 😅

Boston wastewater (MWRA): down from peak

WA King County ED visits: low for COVID through winter, but high for influenza. RSV down from peak

Santa Clara CA wastewater: low for COVID through the winter; Flu A down from peak; Flu B just peaking; RSV down from peak

NWSS COVID wastewater; winter peaked at levels lower than any Omicron summer peak (not that it is so directly comparable for technical reasons) and declining

Anyone know how long someone on b-cell depleting therapy has reduced susceptibility to COVID infection, after their last one? Without an antibody response, I assume it’s less than a few months, but I’m hoping it’s more than zero. Like a few weeks post-inflammatory? Asking for me.
