19 Quarantine Baby Boom?
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and people were forced to stay home to reduce the virus’ spread, many people predicted a quarantine-inspired baby boom. Instead, we’re seeing a baby bust. According to states that track their birth rates in realtime, reported a decline in births from December 2020 compared to December 2019. In Florida, the birth rate is down 8 percent, while it’s down 7 percent in Ohio, according to NECN. With 9 months to gestate, babies conceived after the mid-March economic lockdown would start being born in December. Research by Philip Cohen at the University of Maryla…

Extremely Detailed Map Reveals Who Your Community Voted For In 2020 Presidential Race
An interactive, incredibly detailed map of how neighborhoods voted in the 2020 presidential election has been released. Created by The New York Times, the online map of the U.S. shows which candidate people voted for at the state, county, and precinct levels. The darker the color, the higher the percentage of voters cast ballots in favor of the Republican (red) or Democratic (blue) candidate. Possibly the best feature of the NYT map is that it provides side-by-side voting information for the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. It is easy to move from one map to the other and see whether a…

19: See How Many Years Americans Killed By Virus Would Have Lived Otherwise, Study Shows
The average American who has succumbed to COVID-19 could have kept on living for another 13 years, according to a new Harvard University study. The assumption that COVID-19 is only killing elderly people near a natural death is not supported by research, said study author Stephen J. Elledge, a genetics professor at Harvard Medical School. The study looks at the 194,000 COVID-19 related deaths in the U.S. since the start of the pandemic to October. By looking at actuarial data on life expectancy and demographics, researchers said that more than 2.5 million person-years of life have been…
