Los Alamos Parkinson’s And Movement Disorder Support Group Meets Virtually Wednesdays
The Los Alamos Parkinson’s and Movement Disorder Support Group hosts virtual meetings at 2 p.m. every Wednesday.
Through the PMD Alliance (Parkinson’s and Movement Disorder Alliance), the group uses Zoom and has made it a secure site by requiring a password and using the “waiting room” function to let members in.
The problem in doing it this way is that it has left out the newly diagnosed and their care partners. But anyone interested in joining, may call Allie Thompson at 505.672.9498 to be added to the membership.

Strauss: Can We Predict The Expected Deaths From Covid-19 Three Weeks Ahead Of Time?
Los Alamos
Editor’s note: This article was received Thursday, July 23.
Because deaths from Covid-19 do not begin to appear until about three weeks after the disease’s symptoms appear, the numbers of deaths lag behind the numbers of cases. For this reason, one can expect to see more deaths than have been reported so far.
Forecasting is a risky business, and a wrong forecast can cause problems either by being too scary or downplaying things too much. Not to mention the soothsayer risks embarrassing ridicule. Instead, this article is about how to think about constructing a forecast.
