Do numbers have a life of their own or do we give them meaning? How
do data play a role in constructing people's perceptions of the
world around them? How far can we trust numbers to speak truth to
power? The COVID-19 pandemic offers a unique moment to answer these
questions. This book examines how politicians, experts and
journalists gave meaning to data through the story of seven iconic
numbers from the pandemic. Shedding light on a new dawn of data,
this book makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the
relationship between numbers, meaning and society.
