Hard to interpret, really. The population of a homeless shelter would seem to be pretty hard to define as people come and go in such high proportions. Not a “captive audience” like a nursing home. Plus it would be almost impossible to know who or when just a few of them “fell of the radar” and got a more serious illness. Plus this homeless shelter IS in Boston, IIRC. It would be far more interesting to do the same study in Des Moines.
Agreed. It’s hard to know if any of this goop is statistically meaningful. There’s a lot of noise, and half of the people conducting these “studies” are below average (assuming gaussian distribution).
My comment was sort of tongue in cheek.
There are many studies that should be conducted if our goal is truly to learn so we can deal with it instead of promoting an agenda (a la climate change).
