Abstract

In this article we offer a retrospective look at the last year’s pandemic, trying to consider the epidemiological phenomenon in its entirety. Starting with considerations about the unreliable nature of the statistical measures used to observe the phenomenon and monitor Covid-19, we try to understand to what extent the big data so innovative in the last decade are useful in healthcare and can be translated into knowledge. The phenomenon is framed both in a broader context of epidemics in general, and in terms of the implications for perceptions of high uncertainty about the future, especially in young people.
