Statistics improve but what’s that mean for raw numbers? Instead of 10s of millions on ventilators, and millions dead it’s millions on ventilators and hundreds of thousands dead? Statistics are great for science but awful for social policy. For the same reason that you don’t want someone deciding what religion you should regurgitate. You could end up in the wrong cohort someday.
