[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 3403034, member: 688"] One of the problems of coping with the epidemic is numbers. People are eager for numbers to prove whatever point of view they have. Numbers alone can mislead: it takes in-depth understanding of a subject matter area to get a clear picture about any aspect of the epidemic. Numbers alone mislead. Numbers fluctuate based on the sample size used, characteristics of the population sampled and the experimental design. This is why - like it or not - we need to opinion of subject matter experts (epidemiologists, virologists, public health authorities etc.) and not journalists or people pushing a certain police narrative, be it liberal or conservative. We are tripping over numbers served up by the internet as we seek to clear away the fog of war associated with being in the midst of a world-wide outbreak of a disease about which nothing was known just a few months ago.
