The days fast approach wherein erudition will only be discernible through an author's logic, deductive critical path, novel evidence, and heterodox thought - setting them apart from the ChatGPT zombie and its flawless grammar, punctuation, and pre-packaged information.
One will observe that to the ChatGPT zombie, all information is confined to the past, leaving no room for the discovery of anything new. Every unknown will be framed as merely an insignificant linear gap within the intolerance and awesome insistence of its science identity.
This evolution will place the über-correct science communicator and academic skeptic permanently out of a job.
Value will reside in one's ability to think independently, discern the salient challenge or question at hand, and hone skill in devising a pathway to its successful… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
This will be known as Ethical Skepticism.

This gives me pause. Definitely an association between Covid & Sudden Cardiac Death.
But, (Long) Covid is removed from this data, & with deaths down to 28 /wk - we have a different problem from Covid/Long Covid now - one as bad as the pandemic.
What is causing this 25% excess?
If I take this mix as indicative of cause, I have
311 Factor-\/
28 Covid/Long Covid
Thus right now, Covid and Long Covid compose only 8% of excess anomalous deaths in these younger persons.
Cancer Mortality, despite being in the last 4 weeks of its annual 'spring lull', is still 5-sigma to the excess. The lull ends on 17 June.
This is where we watch closely to see what happens.
Looks as if the CDC took a break from processing R00-R99 Abnormal Clinical & Lab Findings Mortality.
The body of unprocessed records not only is incomplete for the last 2 weeks, but the area under the excess curve jumped by 300 in one week.
All Cause Excess Mortality dropped below baseline for Wk 20, but appears that some states did not report for Wk 20 too. All ICD-10 stats were equally depressed - this suggests a couple extra laggard states.
We just lost our 3rd family member to blood clots/cancer, in 4 mos. Two more struggling. Unthinkable in family history...
Thus we begin our MMWR Wk 19 2023 Update
Abnormal Clinical & Lab Findings deaths jumped substantially again. Back to 55% excess.
Non-Natural Mortality remained high again this last week, with a 1,030 excess (22.8% excess)
This death tally alone is 210% of the avg weekly Covid death tally.
Covid is ending - this will not end for some time to come.
It is amazing how well lag calcs model influenza & pneumonia deaths. No tampering there.
Because of curation of Cancer & Non-Covid Natural Cause UCoD's, those numbers constantly dance around as the deaths are re-stuffed into other ICD codes.
