COVID-19, besides of being a disease, has become a topic of numbers. Who is doing worse? How many people have tested positive? How many people have died today? How many people have been vaccinated so far?

But what do all these numbers mean? Are they really helping us to understand the nature of the pandemic and its impact on people: on their health, and on their ability to earn a living or to enjoy themselves in the company of family, friends, or the community at large?

Our panelists will discuss the nature of data, the need to properly report them in context, and the aim to interpret them so they become helpful to understand the pandemic as a whole.
