Statistics are either meaningless or they're not.
Cummings (Your Prime Ministers boss) is a stickler for stats and he relies on them for every decision Boris makes. This is therefore a problem when you can only assess the figures 12 months down the line.
As it stands we were ill prepared when it became clear there was a problem due primarily to Boris downplaying the issue (surely you'd agree with that!) so we have been reactionary rather than proactive in relation to Care Homes, PPE and Testing.
