Do you remember, wayyy pre-Pandemic, those blockbuster movies about how, when the Giant Meteor (or whatever) was coming to kill us all, the GOVERNMENT (with the help of a Bruce Willis type) came to save us? Well, funnily enough, you, Jenn, and your fabulous contemporaries at Nerdy Girls, were the ones who came and saved us from disinformation, misinformation, and a fair amount of government-initiated chaos. We, the ordinary citizens who were looking to so many different sources (CDC, WHO...Facebook?!?!) of information on how to keep our families safe during those first devastating months of the pandemic (and Thank God the mortality rate wasn't worse than what it was --- what a drastic thing that would have been!) -- well, I digress. To you and your contemporaries, Jenn, there aren't enough words sufficient to thank you. So glad you are still taking up the challenge. God forbid we have to go thru it again with something more lethal. God bless you for all that you have done. Sincerely yours,
Thanks Neil, I will hold on to this imagery of the Data Nerds saving the day in the coming apocaplyse (did you see the 3 Body Problem by chance?)! I very much appreciate your words of encouragement and promise to do my best to keep the good info coming, whether in the face of danger from meteors, zombies, or fellow humans :).
Jenn: You and the NG team have provided and continue to publicize FACTS about pandemics and in a way that makes the science more understandable to the public. As a physician with Public Health education and experience myself, I have marveled at the way you have evolved into being one of the foremost communicators of pandemic epidemiology and biostatistics anywhere. As you well know (and wish everyone did) it’s not just the data that are important, but how it’s presented. Keep up the greet, and vital, work. Thank you!!!
Thanks so much Mark, I appreciate these words of support more than you know. We've all got to keep doing our thing and getting the good information out--thanks for all you do as well!

I have kept my work office March 2020 calendar up as well. ❤️
I just can't touch it...may be there forever!
The data here are a wonderful 20/20 and unique. Thank you, all, for all your work.
Thanks so much for the kind words and for reading.
