@statsguy It's also weird from the contribs section that the epidemiologists involved "acquired the data" but weren't involved in analysing it. 🤔

@statsguy Do they explain in the text in real terms what the βs (slopes) actually mean in terms of decreasing function? I'm wondering if they don't know themselves. And they seem so tiny.

@statsguy She was also wondering about the weird multiples of 8 in the CIs. Could that be a sparsity issue?
I can't see the paper, unfortunately.

@afewbugs It doesn't help that I tend to overshare (at the TotM) when my mood is wonky and when I'm utterly unable to consider any advice or helpful comments calmly or without paranoia or irritation (sorry) 🤪
