Members phkrause Posted March 12 Members Share Posted March 12 🦠Flashback: When everything changed Four years ago today, Trump delivered a speech from the Oval Office announcing new travel restrictions from Europe after the WHO formally declared the COVID-19 pandemic. Why it matters: March 11, 2020 — the same day Tom Hanks tested positive and the NBA canceled its season — is seared into the American psyche as the start of pandemic life as we know it. What to watch: As he previewed at the State of the Union, expect Biden to remind voters on the campaign trail of the economic devastation and health crisis the U.S. faced four years ago — and where things stand today.

Members phkrause Posted April 30 Members Share Posted April 30 COVID's prison death toll By Alex Fitzpatrick,  Nicole Cobler and Kavya Beheraj  Data: The Marshall Project via U.C. Irvine and Brigham and Women's Hospital; Note: Rates calculated using prison populations at the start of each year; Chart: Axios Visuals More Texas prisoners died during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic than in any other state, but the true death toll in prisons across the country is still unknown, researchers say. Why it matters: Although it's long been clear that prisons struggled to contain COVID outbreaks, there's still no official pandemic prison death toll — leaving the work up to a "patchwork of research groups and reporters," per the Marshall Project, a nonprofit criminal justice news outlet that analyzed the findings. Driving the news: Mortality in U.S. prisons increased 77% in 2020 compared to 2019 — more than three times higher than the free population during the worst phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a study published in Science Advances. In Texas, there were more than 49 deaths per 10,000 incarcerated people — nearly 700 total deaths — in 2020, a roughly 60% rise in the mortality rate from just one year prior. Flashback: The Marshall Project's analysis reflects earlier findings from University of Texas researchers. UT researchers in November 2020 found that people in Texas prisons tested positive for COVID-19 at a rate 40% higher than the national prison population and a 490% higher rate than the state's general population. What they're saying: The pandemic also kept people from getting access to health care, including preventative care, said Michele Deitch, who directs the Prison and Jail Innovation Lab at the LBJ School of Public Affairs and led the 2020 prison research. "Even if a lot of the deaths aren't formally attributable to COVID, we know that there were disproportionate numbers of deaths during that time period," Deitch tells Axios.
