No wonder they voted wrong.
I'd vote wrong if I had a brain injury.

Not a month.  It's over a 9 year period:

"Emergency Department Visits for Bicycle-Related Traumatic Brain
Injuries Among Children and Adults - United States, 2009-2018"
<https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7019a1.htm>
<https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/pdfs/mm7019a1-H.pdf>
"This analysis included data on bicycling-related TBIs that occurred
among adults aged (greater than or equal) 18 years and children and
adolescents (children) aged (less than or equal) 17 years during
2009-2018."

See Table 1 in the PDF for better (and less confusing) numbers.
