I think Covid handling is an example where the public has extensive access to the raw facts; it's quite surprising just how much data is available to the public. I can get time series of covid cases, hospitalisations, vaccination rates, by area and by age... It's really surprising how much info we have.

- jollybean 5y agoWe do, but at the same time, we can't contextualize it very well necessarily. For example 'spikes' can mean all sorts of things. CFRs and test positivity rates have to be hugely contextualized. We also have 'studies' about Ivermectin some of which are good, some of which ar flawed, that lack context i.e. 'study shows Ivermectin works! - if that's all they see, well, then they might be inclined to believe it. And a huge amount of anecdotal data that is very misleading as well. It's good the data is out there, but we also need sources to make sense of it.
