Everything turned into numbers and data; X cases, X deaths. We all talk about it so easily, check every day the changes but as far as I can see we lost the connection between these numbers and what they really represent. These numbers are human beings, and the slightest changes, one change even matter a lot. This is a good reminder from NYT in my opinion that numbers are us, actual people dying. Not some random computer-generated stuff. But of course you are right, no human life can change the perception of a politician and the games they play.
