While the growth in NBA 3-point shots is starting to taper off a little, you can see how quick its spread has been over the past decade in real-time (look at that jump since 2012!)
Do positions matter in the NBA? They don't determine shooting percentage, at least - Centers shoot a little better, but everyone else shoots around the same.

A cruise travel agency announced a 600% increase over May 4 bookings in 2019, 200% over May 4-6 '19. Weirdly specific comparison timeframes, and way too small of a sample size. Almost certainly some PR person trying to generate good headlines.

Health insurance status by age in the US. Older people are more insured -- has not stopped them from being the bulk of COVID-19 deaths. Even with insurance US healthcare is difficult & costly to access.

Race in the US broken down by age range. Interesting to see that there are relatively more older non-hispanic white people than older people of other races -- means that the racial disparity in COVID-19 deaths has to be explained by factors other than age. github.com/LemnaStats/us-cen…
