FiveThirtyEight: the COVID-19 metrics policymakers should be watching after Omicron

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought up tons of data questions — what information should we be collecting, what can it tell us (and what does it fail to tell us) and how should the data we use to make decisions be communicated to the public? We’ve started a new series, “COVID Convos,” that brings these questions to the forefront through interviews with the scientists and practitioners who produce and use data on COVID-19.

We’re kicking things off with Tim Lahey, an infectious disease physician and the head of ethics at the University of Vermont Medical Center. Our discussion focused on the metrics society uses to decide how — and when — to respond to COVID.
