Great piece in USA Today highlighting research by Andrew Stokes and Rafeya Raquib at #busph on discrepancies between #excessmortality and #covid mortality across the US. Such discrepancies are possibly indicative of under-reporting of COVID mortality. The piece focuses on three settings: #Navajo Nation, #pdx, and #ruraltexas. https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/health/2022/12/28/uncounted-covid-deaths-disparities/10590932002/

Analysis of national VA data by #busph researchers finds relative #excessmortality of 1.17 among White #veterans between March and Dec 2020, 1.40 among Native American veterans, 1.32 among Black veterans, and 1.26 among Hispanic veterans.

This makes me extremely proud as a #BUSPH alum and a BU lecturer. Aside from being one of the kindest and most brilliant deans I've ever had the privilege of interacting with, Dean Galea has been outspoken about the critical need to recognize misinformation and hate as a true threat to #PublicHealth. Today @ucsc joined the #fediverse, and I hope to see BUSPH here soon too! #academia #science #epiverse #BostonUniversity

@sarahewalsh @m_clem same! Now waiting for #BUSPH to come to #Mastodon!

@m_clem I've been impressed with Galeo's leadership on a lot of issues, this is merely the latest. Makes one proud to be a #BUSPH alum.
