Jeff, I am sorry to delay this post-mortem but I needed a break from my heliobsessìon before I could freshly process the final result. I revisited my blogs, videos, & notes. I want to organize my process up to this point.

Mobile

Place: outside window

This deconstructed outdoor disco ball throws flashes quite far. Also bangs against the window.

Concerns:

I am very burdened by all the metal junks and the physical frufra that I collect. I think this poses certain obstacles.

Phase 1: Window mobiles

Phase 2: Water

Phase 3: Solar prismatic, light plays on the prisms like piano keys

Final: The Sun-catch, I think of it as a bright fish especially the way it was held up by my classmates and the way it hangs.

Next Phase:

Sunflower art

Myth is a part of this, eternality

YLL Years of Life Lost in the United States During the COVID-19 Pandemic, March 2020 to October 2021

Findings Despite 4796 fewer COVID-19 deaths in Jan-Oct 2021 than in Mar-Dec 2020, the number of YLL due to COVID-19 increased by 1,159,761, from 4,474,186 to 5,633,947 (a 25.9% increase). YLL per COVID-19 death increased from 12.8 in 2020 to 16.3 in 2021, a 27.7% increase. YLL per death did not change by more than 2.3% for any other cause.

Interpretation Increased YLL per COVID-19 death in 2021 result from younger-age COVID-19 mortality, contributing to a marked increase in YLL from this preventable cause of death at a later stage of the pandemic despite advancements in vaccines in treatments.
