@r_delome @JSADJournal @argphi @M_Najlah @nicmil75 @alta_schutte @FHEMS_ARU @MedUni_Wien @MRCza We know that wine consumption and good health are both fairly strongly correlated with socioeconomic position. So I think the burden of proof of causality rather than residual confounding from a measure that is notoriously hard to adequately control for, is on the claimant.
@JSADJournal @argphi @M_Najlah @nicmil75 @alta_schutte @FHEMS_ARU @MedUni_Wien @MRCza I don’t understand why anyone is excited about this study. Looks like a standard case of residual confounding with socioeconomic position + very overconfident causal claims from the authors.
One final point on the curious male/female gap in cases in England:

@AdieOfKent So I really don't see a compelling story where this is about vaccinations. Do you have one?
@AdieOfKent ...except the waning would have to be pretty sharp to show up like that and the other evidence suggests any waning effect is much more gradual. Plus it would seem very odd to me for the first signal we see of waning to be in 20-49 year olds, not 80+.
@AdieOfKent Because superficially, case rates & vaccination rates are higher in women aged 20-49.
It is true the case that women in this age group were vaccinated earlier and so this *could* be evidence of their vaccine benefit waning...
@bio_evaluar @GothicBlue @JamesWard73 All I'm doing is looking at the ratio of male to female cases. I don't see an obvious reason why a more infectious variant changes that ratio (notwithstanding the fact that this effect appeared some time after delta became the dominant strain in the UK).
(This is just pillar 2 (community) testing which represents the vast majority of cases - pillar 1 (hospital) testing has very similar positivity rates for men and women)
R code here:
https://t.co/BlyF4f2Eek
A lot of people replied to this thread with "It's testing".
Well, here's the positivity rates by age and sex.
Yes, there *is* a big discrepency, but it's not got any wider recently. If anything it's narrowed in 20-49 year olds in recent weeks. 🤷 https://t.co/Qcwvsj4zaj https://t.co/KIirz8wpH5
@fascinatorfun @ArtySmokesPS OK, I made a more useful version of the PHE pillar 2 positivity graphs.
Yes, much higher testing rates in women, but in 20-49 year olds, the gap in positivity rates has, if anything, narrowed over the period we're talking about (late July onwards). https://t.co/EszzPVIGE0
@TigressEllie Oh! That's improved a *lot* since I last checked. I do like to include NI where I can as I think it often gets overlooked, so this is great!
@fascinatorfun Pick the bones out of that if you can! https://t.co/yWA3VS9L3e
@TigressEllie Interesting, thanks. Where's that data from? I got a bit fed up with terrible NI dashboards with no facility to let me easily download the data, so haven't looked to hard there for a while.
@popageing (but sometimes it *is* just one thing and I'm always open to the possibility that I missed something important)
@popageing I don't doubt this. My default assumption is 'it's complicated' and that there will be many factors having an impact. I'm always surprised by the number of people happy to say 'it's x' with high confidence, particularly when there are 15 different versions of x in my mentions.
@ColinTheMathmo @flodebarre Tweeting several thousand graphs over the last 18 months has certainly taught me some interesting lessons about how other people's brains work differently to mine when interpreting visual information.
And yeah, other people are *weird*.
@ColinTheMathmo @flodebarre So ultimately I'm unsure that the gain in technical accuracy outweighs the slightly increased cognitive load in understanding the plot.
But I'm not immovable on this question.
@ColinTheMathmo @flodebarre I know what you mean, but I don't think it's too big an issue here, any distortions are fairly small. I have previously created variations where area was directly proportional to population size, but some people found this approach slightly confusing. https://t.co/tdxLJSulZ8
@ikashnitsky @ChannelNewsAsia @DawnTanCNA @stevelai I know - I've seen it (and been inspired to make ternary lexis surfaces by it) before.
@TheNewImpostor Why are you asking the question?
To make a tedious culture war point or because of some concern about COVID case rates in trans/non-binary people?
Because the tone of the question makes it feel a lot like the former. In which case you can get in the bin.
@ikashnitsky @ChannelNewsAsia @DawnTanCNA @stevelai Nice. Very well-chosen backdrop too!
@Dollydooby @andrew_lilico @JamesWard73 The divergence *didn't* start at the beginning of the school holidays.
@andrew_lilico @JamesWard73 The divergence started before schools went back though. It's certainly got worse more recently, so I could well believe it's a factor, but there's definitely something else going on too.
@AsjadNaqvi It's just a nice coincidence that the extremes of the data lie within the 2x range
I have a version limited to under 60s to magnify the 'interesting' effects, but it has a rather more unsatisfactory range! https://t.co/DHfzLiLNwD
@wfastronomer Could well be a factor, but why didnt' the reversal happen straight away? And why is it centered on a slightly older age group?
@AsjadNaqvi I'm taking the ratio between 7-day centered rolling averages, to smooth out some of the noise. Definitely looks less clear-cut in Austria though.
@_fi_sha @JamesWard73 Could well be a factor, but the divergence started well before schools went back. So it's not the whole story by any means.
@GothicBlue @JamesWard73 Perhaps. But why would that only have started to lead to higher case rates *now* rather than consistently across the last year?
@JoWilliamsUK Unless I'm missing something ONS don't publish the data spit by age *and* sex, so we can't tell. I'd be surprised if a difference in testing behaviour had just gradually emerged organically like this and only in these specific age groups.
R code for the case plots is here:
https://t.co/blLjmqZfHe
and for the vaccination rates plot is here:
https://t.co/Ebqc8QOAE2
...And the gender ratio in health care workers isn't notably more female-skewed in that age group.
So 🤷
Some people have suggested it's because more women are employed as front line health care workers. They are (@kallmemeg has the numbers https://t.co/guah5B5J11), but the recent divergence is bigger in people in their 30s...
Also, the effect is sufficiently large that it's overcome the fact that vaccination rates are higher in women than men in these age groups. https://t.co/G1uvH2Xp29
Lots of possible explanations, but a good one needs to cover the fact that this divergence started well before schools went back, although it's got wider since they did.
For anyone wondering how this fits in to the wider picture - here's the long view.
Previously, cases have only decoupled when cases have been at close to peaks. What's happening now looks a little different, I think. https://t.co/kFOqmiTWrZ
In all age groups male and female cases follow the same trajectory, but they seem to have decoupled some time in late July/early August and the gap has widened in 20-49 year-olds ever since. https://t.co/5edto8CxFl
@stejormur @flodebarre What's the equivalent of nominative determinism for graphs - when they end up looking like the thing they represent?
R code for these plots is here:
https://t.co/Ebqc8QOAE2
For denominator fans, here's a version of the same plot using NIMS instead of ONS population estimates.
Using NIMS increases (probably mostly spuriously) the number of unvaccinated younger people, but reduces (probably correctly) numbers in the oldest age group. https://t.co/vGLWoq8qxA
I haven't posted one of these vaccine pyramid plots since PHE started separating out younger age groups.
I've followed @flodebarre's excellent lead and moved the unvaccinated groups to the inside, since they're the group we're most interested in/concerned about now. https://t.co/bRo0PbLHOr
@drnjshelton @greg_travis Relative risks have their uses (although they are generally overused). I think my issue here is that comparing RRs between age groups with massively different baseline risks is pretty close to useless.
And yes, there are lots of wider costs. That's why it's so complicated!
Interesting analysis here from @HealthFdn about how the pandemic has amplified inequalities in waiting times for elective healthcare:
https://t.co/dahf4vfo5t
@JoWilliamsUK @greg_travis @drnjshelton ...which is very understandable. In the same way we are willing to pay more for treatments that extend lifespan, or treatments for very rare diseases.
@JoWilliamsUK @greg_travis @drnjshelton It's clear that there is a certain subjective feeling in most people that we should be willing to pay more to improve the health of children, because of some sense they are more vulnerable and in need of greater protection from society...
@JoWilliamsUK @greg_travis @drnjshelton ...But ultimately I find it hard to advocate very strongly for (or against) *any* of these positions. I genuinely have no idea what's for the best.
@JoWilliamsUK @greg_travis @drnjshelton ...but I do worry that 3 feels like the most appealing - "we've got to protect the kids somehow" but I'm not sure it's as obviously better as a lot of people seem to think it is. Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe I'm just a cold-hearted health economist, I don't know...
@JoWilliamsUK @greg_travis @drnjshelton ...is it:
1) Minimum mitigation, essentially hoping all kids get COVID
2) Vaccinate kids
3) Greater mitigation, trying to reduce spread in kids
I have absolutely no idea which of these is the best option. All are definitely bad...
@JoWilliamsUK @greg_travis @drnjshelton ...The idea that we just let all kids get COVID as a consequence-free step on the path to herd immunity doesn't sit very comfortably with me. But COVID isn't going away. The important question is which is the least worst alternative...
@JoWilliamsUK @greg_travis @drnjshelton I take your point, although what's the absolute mortality rate difference for a child with COVID vs a child with cancer (genuine question, I honestly don't know)?
...
@drnjshelton @greg_travis ...which has the effect of inflating the % the original tweet was looking at, since the denominator is smaller.
tl;dr I honestly don't know what the right policy approach towards schools is. I think there are too many unknowns to be confident either way.
@drnjshelton @greg_travis ...but then again I think we should just be investing more money in schools and the education system irrespective of COVID.
It's also worth noting that all-cause mortality in under 15s has been consistently lower than usual during the pandemic... https://t.co/WWD8RE5GaX
@drnjshelton @greg_travis ...questions about closing schools and the consequent trade off between children's health and their education are *hard* and I don't claim to know what's right. I think it's certainly fair to suggest that more could be done to make schools safer (e.g. improving ventilation)...
@drnjshelton @greg_travis ...although other perspectives on that are of course valid. Of course 'we should prevent deaths in kids' is an obvious statement, although death is far from the only harm affecting children and the question is always at what cost...
@drnjshelton @greg_travis This is obviously a very emotive and often polarising subject, and there are no 'right' answers.
Personally, I don't find '% of all deaths' a particularly compelling metric and the comparison presented here doesn't strike me as shocking...
@greg_travis @drnjshelton When absolute risks are so *massively* different, I’m not sure a comparison of relative risks is terrible meaningful or helpful.
Also, 3D pie charts for the love of god.
@joel_mossong @kallmemeg Nope. We have higher coverage in women. Certainly in working age groups.
@JamesWard73 @kallmemeg I’m not sure the historic data in vax timings is good enough, unless we’ve improved on what was available at the time. Early age spilts were pretty crude.
@kallmemeg @JamesWard73 Wow! Does the female:male ratio in those roles peak at ages 30-40? That’s what you’d expect if James is right (or at least, if his theory is to explain a significant % of the disparity in cases in those ages).

@zatapatique Yes. With industry and genuinely tradeable goods true value can succeed. But in service economies,... we seem to have two endpoints. France has its elite domestic schools, and (to my profit) a few foreign schools that it values. The UK has private schools and Oxbridge. That's it.

“I feel sorry for the baseballs.” https://t.co/FS1lhUQisX
If any part of this is truly satisfying, it is that Adam Ottovino turned into the pitcher for the Sox that he was for the Yankees at the perfect moment.
Now it’s just hilarious. But to quote Aaron Judge, I still feel sorry for the baseballs.
Dropped pop up’s. And then more dropped pop up’s. And then a dropped foul tip that might have been caught. And then a giant felled by his pinky.
I feel nothing. I have no idea what to make of a dropped foul tip or dropped throw, but it wouldn’t be the 2021 AL East if we were allowed to enjoy something that seems good. I will only say Aaron Judge is a ball player. Did work on that AB and that slide.
I don’t care about the playoffs. I don’t care about the Wild Card. Prolonging this torture won’t benefit the Yankees or their fans. This simply has to be Aaron Boone’s last game. Professionals don’t make this sheer volume of mental mistakes without help.

@HugoGye Sometimes it's obviously just a grift. Sometimes presumably it's a way of getting publicity, and they calculate it will get more publicity than a campaign.
Presumably some think that *they* can actually break the mould, unlike the 1000s who tried before from stronger positions.

Beautiful morning in Brighton
#LabourConference2021 🌹 https://t.co/SSQKpr7TSv
Keir Starmer has been touring the #Lab21 exhibition stands.
I asked if this week is make or break for his leadership:
‘We’ve had a very very good week. We’ve already changed the party, made massive changes, and we’re laying out our alternative government proposals.’ https://t.co/8zIbGgkoD0
Did people start domesticating crops in order to brew alcohol?
And has communal 🍺🥂🍷 🍾🥃🍸🍹 been key to camaraderie & collaborative creativity?
Zoom may be efficient, but would a massive booze-up stimulate more free thinking?
A very funny & fascinating book! https://t.co/QkFHOEY2FY
The big loser are the conservatives (CDU or Union).
7.5 million people who voted for them 4 years ago did not vote for them this time.
This shows who they voted for instead: mostly the social democrats, also the liberals (FDP) and the greens.
(And a million died since then). https://t.co/KfRheBkoR1
This is the 'preliminary endresult' of Germany's big election yesterday.
The social democrats (SPD) of Scholz beat Laschet's Union, who lost 8.8 points since last time (when Merkel ran) and had their worst result in their history.
I'll share some more data in this thread. https://t.co/OaH4eeoRag
Well, my Dad's dementia has got a lot worse recently. Just took my mum's hairdresser (retired) to give her (88 this year) a cut and style, and it cheered her up no end. But my God, the mental strength you need to look after a partner with this awful disease.
I left behind the cheap elliptical I’ve had since grad school. I run/bike only in good weather. Gyms near me in NYC are meh. I thought maybe time for a new elliptical or a rowing machine? So hard to find objective, reasonable assessments! The fitness-bs industry drives me nuts.

@DuncanWeldon Every year it becomes more like a straight documentary that was sent back in time to 2005.
Cry Macho is a feature length adaptation of the Simpsons episode where Homer becomes a big brother to that kid to get back at Bart. One of the most unintentionally funny and baffling movies I've ever seen.
Over the past six months, the MSCI China Index has underperformed global equities by the greatest margin in over 20 years. The rapid and unpredictable stream of recent policy changes could usher in a new and long-lasting risk premium to Chinese assets.

I was born in 1978. What date range constitutes "my generation"?
انا ولدت في عام 1978. اي سنين تشكل جيلي؟
@alsaffar_rawan That's a great point. The label did mention something about this being an example of Orientalist artwork. Someone messaged me "You saw the most notorious painting".
@SultanAlQassemi In the American scope, sometime after 1997 you were retroactively made a part of Generation X, a term you might have recalled as referring to boring burnt-out elders when you were still in your "my generation" years, although surely the Arab world deserves its own letter scheme.

Nobody cares if you are not always right. They do care if you spin BS.
The ability of some people to interpret literally *any* course of event as proof of their established narrative never ceizes to amaze me. It is quite impressive in a way. As well as unprofessional.
Brexit has made UK supply chains less resilient by making it harder to respond to increased demand with more workers. Larger internal markets are both more efficient and more resilient.

What is the need for this list? Let people watch the show and then figure out the Foundation verse. It's frankly for the best. https://t.co/0ZDiTrRwsE
@PrinceJvstin @CoraBuhlert @RainbowWar71 @yudhanjaya @SFFAudio Literally the best parts of Foundation are all there: big fun thought experiment (psychohistory), probably the most interesting character (Hardin), quotable aphorisms (violence is the last refuge)…
@PrinceJvstin @CoraBuhlert @RainbowWar71 @yudhanjaya @SFFAudio So it’s shocking; the plan is *not* the status quo. The encyclopedia was a ruse … that first story is fresh. And cool.
@PrinceJvstin @CoraBuhlert @RainbowWar71 @yudhanjaya @SFFAudio And this is one of the many reasons I think only the first-published Foundation story is truly great. The whole thing revolves around the *expectation* that the course of action will deviate from the stated plan. But then the big reveal is “Seldon lured you under false premises.”
@CoraBuhlert @RainbowWar71 @yudhanjaya Psychohistory is basically a Marxist idea; it’s the quantified version of the historical dialectic. And I’d suggest it’s less fantastical than telepathy, in that there’s a reasonable attempt to explain how it might work as a technology. The “psi” stuff is completely unexplained.
