Figuring Covid: A Note on Media Flows and ‘Statisticality’
Résumé
This note examines the ways in which statistics have been an important and controversial aspect of public information concerning the Covid-19 pandemic. The profile has varied internationally but some schematic observations about lines of flow, the distinctive role played by figures and the patterns of debate surrounding them can be made. Issues of comprehension and contestability are foregrounded in ways which, while they have their precedents, indicate broader issues for the character and direction of public communication.
