...about 23 million. New York City responded to its earliest sign of infection with isolation and quarantine over a sustained period of time, beginning 13 days after the first case was detected, and had the lowest pandemic-related death rate of any city on the East coast. By contrast, Pittsburgh reacted late, waiting one month, and suffered the greatest number of excess deaths from the disease. In both cities, however, interventions were used singly rather than as a combined approach. St. Louis layered its interventions, using the various social-distancing measures at once, 2.5 weeks after its first case...

They're also more expensive for retailers, at 5.7 per bag (and up to 17.6 for ones with handles) in contrast to 2.2 per plastic bag. Given the downside to both paper and plastic, perhaps that $1,720 tote isn't so outrageous. "Everyone has framed the debate incorrectly," says Shropshire. "It's not paper vs. plastic. It's about getting rid of plastic in favor of recycled paper or reusable bags...
...black, suggesting that there may be differences in the way white mothers cope with stress compared with black or Hispanic moms; the study's authors write that the racial difference may have to do with the mother's employment status or her willingness to ask for outside help. In contrast, male spouses showed no increase in maltreatment when their wives were deployed...
