It was wonderful with the @AgincourtHDSS team on this project, part of my virtual @VECDFellows year. Increased pregnancy-related healthcare utilization in rural northeastern South Africa from 1993-2018 was differential by nationality and residency status gh.bmj.com/content/6/10/e006…

Top tip: if you got your @kroger card in another state you'll need to change your home store to one in Tennessee otherwise you won't be able to find @shadetreeclinic, which is highly stress inducing @VanderbiltMSTP @VUmedicine @vuglobalhealth @Ayeshamyar @kwbyram @McNewKL
Looking for an easy, free way to support @shadetreeclinic? 🏥 Link your @kroger card to automatically fundraise every time you shop! 💸 Takes < 2 minutes to set up, tag friends that love Shade Tree to spread the word. @LeonCai @EimanJahangir @danny_sack @theobacn @michellekyork

We are still seeing stark differences in #COVID19 infections and deaths by race/ethnicity and inadequate reporting of race/ethnicity data, which further magnifies chronic underfunding and #SystemicRacism in our public health system rpubs.com/danny_sack/covid-i…

#COVID19 infections and death continue to disproportionately impact Black and Latinx communities across the country
#COVID19 infections are more prevalent than expected based on population in Black people in 32 states, in Latinx people in 38 states, and in White people in 0 states as of yesterday per the @COVID19Tracking Racial Data Tracker rpubs.com/danny_sack/covid-i…

States with the most new #COVID cases (per @COVID19Tracking), are doing a poor job characterizing race/ethnicity for infections/deaths. Could be due to poor infrastructure, newly overwhelmed resources, etc. but is not good and obscuring health inequities rpubs.com/danny_sack/covid-i…

There are just so many things wrong this this I don't know where to start...
Gov. Bill Lee signs controversial abortion restriction measure into law rssfeeds.tennessean.com/~/63…
#Tennessee still has higher #COVID19 infections and deaths in Black and Latinx individuals than neighboring states and the south as a whole rpubs.com/danny_sack/covid-i… dannysack.shinyapps.io/covid…
#COVID19 deaths are more prevalent than expected (based on population) in Black people in 37 states, in Latinx people in 13 states, and in White people in 7 states as of yesterday (states grouped by Census Bureau Division) dannysack.shinyapps.io/covid… rpubs.com/danny_sack/covid-i…

The @nytimes now also has data available on health inequities by country: nytimes.com/interactive/2020…

I've updated both #COVID sites with new health inequities data from @COVID19Tracking. I removed the "Non-White" category because of differential reporting across states making comparisons difficult rpubs.com/danny_sack/covid-i… dannysack.shinyapps.io/covid…
Thanks to excellent feedback from @laurenspeetluk, I've reworked the COVID #HealthEquity data with R Shiny. We can now compare health inequity across states/regions of interest (e.g. TN, GA, AR, AL, and the South) #EpiTwitter #rstats dannysack.shinyapps.io/covid…
New @COVID19Tracking Racial Data Dashboard data today. In case you're wondering, there are lots of cases/deaths with unknown races/ethnicities in #Texas, which is why it does look like all the other states rpubs.com/danny_sack/covid-i…
