Les deux premières années de l’épidémie de COVID-19 en Belgique sont décrites du point de vue d’un statisticien. Tout d’abord, un récit de l’évolution de l’épidémie est donné, en tenant compte des différences régionales au sein du pays. Deuxièmement, la structure des conseils consultatifs est examinée. Le rôle de la biostatistique est décrit ensuite, tant en termes de recherche scientifique que du rôle de notre profession dans l’élaboration des politiques et la communication aux médias ainsi qu’au grand public. Deux secteurs font l’objet d’une discussion particulière : les voyages et le tourisme d’une part et l’éducation d’autre part. Quelques conclusions et recommandations générales sont formulées. |
