Ambiguous expression is convenient. If you target the greatest common divisor instead of the least common multiple, you won’t make a big mistake. However, it may not be possible to convey accurate information to the end. So ambiguous expressions can be time consuming, but they can be conveyed little by little.
Regarding the infection status of new-type pneumonia, it seems that ambiguous expressions are not allowed. The number of infected people and the number of dead people are centrally managed in real time, and the data is released momentarily as if it were the exchange rate, stock price, or government approval rate.
Perhaps one of the characteristics of this flu is that big data is understood and the countermeasures have set numerical targets. It is easy to understand the quantified guidelines such as the period of leave requested by the government for private companies and mask production targets. In other words, it’s concrete.
However, I think that there is a negative side to digitizing the guidelines. It’s that the numbers walk by themselves. In other words, there is a great deal of freedom in interpreting numbers. Even if an expert interprets the data and some measures are taken, even if a trick is set at that time, the general public will not notice it.
