Nearly all my friends at CDCs injury center have been RIFd this morning. Not sure what the next few weeks or months will hold for these actions, but anyone able to hire these folks couldn’t ask for a more intelligent, hard working, humble group of people. (Please don’t hire them if you are an asshole company.) It is a major loss to the US. #USpol #CDC #Injuryprevention

“Currently, only 6 percent of #sports #science studies focus exclusively on #women. That means that most #training and #nutrition guidelines, along with #injuryprevention protocols, are based on studies of men and how male bodies adapt and perform.

After Nashville Shooting, Democratic States Push for New Gun Restrictions

Lawmakers in Democratic-led states are steadily enacting new restrictions aimed at preventing further mass shootings, such as increasing the legal age to buy guns, and expanding background checks and “red flag” laws that allow courts to seize guns from people who may be a harm to themselves or others. https://bit.ly/3L5OuRn

Increased all-cause mortality among kiddos in the US c/o @jama

"Firearms play a central role in this crisis. They are the leading cause of death among youths aged 1 to 19 years and accounted for nearly half (47.8%) of the increase in all-cause mortality in 2020."

Wow. You mean guns basically contributed to increased deaths MORE than COVID (20.5%)???

But you know, you do you.
