    New York City Death Spike

    This page contains articles related to the New York City Spring 2020 mass casualty event, presented in chronological order. Most embedded links have been restored or otherwise lead to archival content. I am working on a page that organizes the articles topically.

    The post immediately below was written in June 2023, roughly a month after the first part a presentation to PANDA Open Science, and presents the more formalized efforts I had undertaken on the New York front via Substack since September of 2022 as an open inquiry in the public interest (as opposed to a structured, planned, and/or funded research project).
