The Royal Society | David Spiegelhalter Communicating statistics in the time of Covid
From an excellent talk from David Spieglehalter (link at the bottom) he points out that to build trust, the communications must. be transparent and that:
- Data must be accessible – you must be able to get at the data.
- Comprehensible – complete and understandable
- Usable – it must answer concerns it is generated for
- Assessable – can you check the working out? What claims are made?
