TY - JOUR T1 - Y2k revisited: A human component? AU - Sinard JH Y1 - 2001/04/04 N1 - 10.1001/jama.285.13.1706 JO - JAMA SP - 1706 EP - 1707 VL - 285 IS - 13 N2 - To the Editor: Few events in recent times have been as anticlimactic as the Y2K transition. Whether it was because of thorough preparedness or overstated worries about a largely nonexistent problem, January 1, 2000, came and went uneventfully in the electronic world. Yet, in all the attention about internal electronic dates, the possible effect of Y2K on the timing of human mortality may have been overlooked.
