102 out of 100

One of my profs did his post doc with the Nobel Laureate Manfred Eigen.  He said that Eigen would try to determine the results of the scientific papers from the diagrams before reading the text.  I wonder what Eigen would make of Denmark having 122 vaccinations per 100 people.  

Are Danes needle happy, drawn to syringes wielded by people in lab coats?

By reading the article (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/07/29/world/europe/europe-us-vaccination.html) you would learn that the correct heading should be "Doses per 100 people".  Statisticians might be frothing at the mouth because it is not clear what the breakdown is for vaccines which require two doses (Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech ) or a single dose (Johnson & Johnson).  The article makes it clear that the vaccines being used in the EU require 2 doses.

 "Life, García Márquez once wrote, is not what one lived but how one remembers it." From the NY Times  review of A Farewell to Gabo and Mercedes: A Son’s Memoir of Gabriel García Márquez and Mercedes Barcha by their son, Rodrigo Garcia (7/25/2021)

The death of Bob Moses, the civil rights organizer, he rejected the term leader,  was announced today (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/25/us/bob-moses-dead.html).  I remember the Algebra Project because it seemed clear that the way to improvement required an understanding of math and measurement.
