Taking sensationalism out of applied statistics is an important job for the wellbeing of the society at large. Sir David Spiegelhalter does it so well. Respect. P.S - You're the reason I became a statistician. Love from India.

"perhaps telling a story in this way won't lead to such a dramatic headlines but the truth rarely does." After all this mess with COVID and such, one of the coldest lines I've heard.
