This holiday season - remember that Covid is a social justice issue. Mitigations cost money. Isolation requires privilege. Avoiding infection
requires resources that aren’t available to all.
Support your local mask bloc. Wear a mask. Push government to provide tests, masks & paid time off.

Yglesias is wrong in that article, you're wrong in your post, AND you're wrong in that screenshot ('ontologically' is the correct term to use here)

Today's essential read for all HCWs, patients, and people who care about others.
"We deserve to enter a hospital knowing we won’t be infected and killed because officials would rather allow airborne nosocomial infections to continue on its watch than spend money preventing them."

This thread shows that #measurement is essentially a series of compromises. We want comparability across time but also want metrics to reflect changes in priorities. We want psychometric properties but also input from stakeholders. We want translatability but also local validity. Can’t have it all
For anyone working in adolescent mental health: I *really* recommend reading this important paper about the most commonly used questionnaires (inc SDQ)
In short: most of them have poor psychometric properties, so do we even know what they are measuring?

We need a starter pack for all philosophers who are not members of starter packs.
For every X there will soon be a starter pack of philosophers of X. And that seems pretty awesome to me.
