Non potrei immaginare una guida migliore per dare un senso a un periodo tragico e importante delle nostre vite. Covid by Numbers è completo ma conciso, impeccabilmente chiaro e sempre umano' Tim Harford Quante persone sono morte a causa del COVID-19? Quali paesi sono stati colpiti più duramente dal virus? Quali sono i benefici e i danni dei diversi vaccini? In che modo il COVID-19 si confronta con l'influenza spagnola? In che modo le misure di blocco hanno influenzato l'economia, la salute mentale e la criminalità? Quest'anno siamo stati bombardati da statistiche: medie mobili di sette giorni, tassi di infezione, decessi in eccesso. Mai i numeri sono stati così centrali nel nostro dibattito nazionale e mai è stato così importante pensarci chiaramente. Nei media e nella loro rubrica Observer, il professor Sir David Spiegelhalter e l'ambasciatore statistico RSS Anthony Masters hanno interpretato queste statistiche, offrendo un servizio pubblico essenziale, dandoci gli strumenti di cui abbiamo bisogno per dare un senso al virus da soli e chiedendo conto al governo. In Covid by Numbers, analizzano i dati di un anno come nessun altro, esponendo i principali equivoci sul virus e sul vaccino e rispondendo alle nostre domande essenziali. Questo libro tempestivo, conciso e accessibile offre una rara profondità di intuizione su uno dei più grandi sconvolgimenti della storia e una guida affidabile a questi tempi più incerti.
