Best demo yet of 100% image and 0% substance.
'Case numbers' is a meaningless metric, because it's impossible to know
what each of the at least 40 data-elements means, it adds apples and
oranges, and none of it tells anyone anything useful.
Metrics that can assist in public health decisions:
- Deaths
- Death counts normalised by population and normal death rates
- ICU admissions, and successful and unsuccessful discharges
- Hospital admissions, and successful and unsuccessful discharges
- Proportions of specific at-risk populations tested
- Results of tests on random samples (to assess herd immunity)
