MY MAN! Most anticipated comeback of 2020

[@andycaldwell4828]

Nystrom is back! His videos got me through statistics.

[@larinborgou]

I dont know why exactly but your the only guy that helps me understand statistics. keep making videos.

[@nunyuh4557]

The king returns

[@tunneltrance]

it's been 5 years since my stats class and watching his videos, and I can still remember what standard deviation is: average squared distance to the mean - sort of

[@karlapastoriza8686]

YESSSSSS

[@heyitsme891]

He's back!!! The only good thing to come out of 2020 was the epic return of MrNystrom to You Tube!!! It took a Pandemic but it was totally worth it!

[@socgrrrl]

Thank you! Also, I'll say it again: I wish I had a math teacher like you when I was a kid. You're the only one who breaks it down in such an understandable way. Your students are so lucky to have you as a teacher!!

[@chrismau8262]

WTF the legend is back guys 2020 is the year of comebacks first vsauce and now him

[@camdavignon954]

Truly an incredible video and message and you are an incredible person. It’s baffling how many people are being selfish about this....... thank you for making this.

[@wiselychuang]

my lovely teacher is back, 好開心看到你，你幫助我學習統計學好多。

[@Rachaelworld]

Delighted to see you are still alive and you are back!!

[@lynnpearson4303]

We watched your video today in AP Stats, Personal Finance, Honors Geometry, and I've shared it on Facebook. All of my kids, including my 9th graders, said that this helped them realize WHY things around them were getting closed or cancelled. Thank you for this video and for all of your older videos that we watch in AP Stats.

[@camdavignon954]

HE’S BACK

[@inspiredteaching4468]

So happy to see you again...keep posting

[@shivamkaul55]

So happy you are back. Love from INDIA

[@mrchestwell]

This is very compelling, good to explain to kids the importance of this; otherwise it’s an abstract concept to teenagers in particular 👍

[@altairjb]

So glad you're back! Bring more stats videos. They are awesome!

[@keithr5020]

Thanks Mr Nystrom! Great to see and hear your wisdom my friend. Be well!

THE GOAT IS BACK

[@jeebee89]

Mr Nystrom! Best teacher!

[@ikin1231]

You are just an incredibly talented educator. I feel so lucky I stumbled upon your page!

[@LoneTree262]

Your videos are always great, thanks man

[@bethglennon4263]

Great to see you again. Welcome back. Suggestion for your next videos: matched pairs and chi squared.

[@anthonybrusate7055]

You rock.

[@imdeadonlyameme673]

woahhhh your back!

[@emcarnahan]

Thank you. Shared on fb 💗

[@FLEETSTER2020]

Wish you’d been my teacher when I first encountered stats 👍👍

[@clashwithsean2542]

@MrNystrom If everyone on the planet watched this video and listened to how well you described flattening the growth rate with social distancing, then you would help save millions of lives. Great video and keep up the enthusiasm, so we can feel uplifted during this downturn. If you're reading this comment, please share this video with your friends and family.

[@josephsarra4320]

Thanks for the video, you did a good job making videos concerning biostatistics & epidemiology. Can you make a video that talks about ANOVA or chi-test? I would appreciate it, thank you. And I would like to see your content soon rather than later. Thank you for understanding.

[@fonyterguson5971]

Finally!

[@magicmilly9870]

Thank you for coming back and also are you on the twitter

The Great Barrington declaration

This was when the case fatality rate was unknown... estimates from 0.2 to 5%... we certainly know a lot more now.

[@sandramae1772]

@@MrNystrom as a nurse from the frontlines I can tell you there has been so much hypocrisy, insanity and misinformation. And now the censorship that's occurring (around the world)is shameful .

[@MrNystrom]

@@sandramae1772 it will be interesting to see how history remembers these two years and to read the simulations showing what would have happened had we done nothing... had we done nothing and if it was twice or 5 times as lethal... and the long term consequences.. financial and psychological... I find peace knowing that the vast majority of folks are always doing what they think is right with the information they have at the time.

Its actually 14000 coronavirus in US

[@MrNystrom]

Yesn. Probably more even. It was around 1000 confirmed cases back when I posted this (and people were saying "only 1000 cases.. no big deal".. which was an underestimation because of lack of testing and lag time. Concept is the same. I purposely simplified the situation to isolate the concept of exponential growth. If I talked about lag time, testing accuracy, legislation, or supply chains..mthe message would get fuzzy. This was strictly about exponential growth and social DISTANCING in the simplest way I could manage. Thaks for watching and Stay home!! :)
