Q&A: Dr. Heather Johnson on How Our Feelings About Math Shape Our Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic Read full blog post at pghlesbian.com "It’s important to remember the COVID-19 numbers and rates represent humans. When math gets too separate from humans, it can be cold and cruel. For example, as of September 19th, the 14 day change rate in new cases is -1%. A decrease in new cases is good, but a closer look shows that there were nearly 42,000 new cases on September 19. Forty two thousand people is a lot. They would fill more than half of the seats at Heinz field. It can be hard to feel the gravity of that if we don’t know people who have tested positive for COVID-19." #blogpost #math #mathematics #mathlife #matheducation #pandemic #quarantine #covid19 #mathematicseducation #probability #calculations #westmifflin https://www.instagram.com/p/CFbB9OPDxvN/?igshid=16kra5r7vsrdi
