It's stunning that the technical leader of the World Health Organization's COVID-19 response publically reaffirmed that COVID-19 is still a global health threat and still a pandemic, yet hardly any media outlet has covered this except for this one. themessenger.com/health/covid-p…

Any suggestions for topics?

Might do a weekly 'psychiatry pro tip' series, I enjoyed this thread a lot and quite a few people with lived experience appreciated it.

The idea is a quick share of how a psychiatrist approaches an issue.

Psychiatry pro tip:
If you are suspicious but not certain your patient is manic, they almost certainly are not.

The bleeding of 'mania' leads to significant overmedication and inappropriate prescriptions of substances that (though helpful for BD) have significant SEs'

Jonathan Fahey Nancy Lapid - a hot story that pretty much every MSM prediction got wrong.

Child Suicide went down during the pandemic emergency.

Dr. Black is a literal suicidologist, and his DMs are open.

Fox News made fools of themselves on it.

Timothy Caulfield is a literal science communication hero; I know that he deeply cares about misinformation, communication of science and accurate knowledge, and is ethical to a high degree.

MISINFO 12. Quashes Y axis to disappear flatness.

A rich accusation, coming from someone who uses raw death #'s to make it seem like cancers are increasing in rate.

MISINFO 10. 'Color segregates the years data to break up and camouflage any easy trend read.'

MISINFO 9. Avoids 2014-2019 baseline.

If one is going to arbitrarily choose a 6 year window (not sure why), one runs that and then checks if the result is different. We call it sensitivity analysis!

Baselines at 2014, 2013, 2015, 2012 do not change the results
