Please help track data suppression and alternative sources.

This discussion thread is pinned.

Mahatmakjeeves has posted about BLS data site being "down" this weekend.

Dennis Donovan posted about a TB outbreak in Kansas City. Links to the CDC are scrubbed.

We need to track alternative, reliable sources for this data! And support those who will be filling important roles during this bleak time.




And another scrub - thanks MKJ

There was vaccine development going on. I had recalled there was an award.

Voila! There it was!

Thanks for that.

Another tip: Check food packaging for the marks that mean it’s been deemed Kosher. It’s an indication that someone independently is taking an active interest in maintaining a level of quality in the product. The manufacturer has paid some big $ to obtain this status and they are in no rush to lose it.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
