Which included vetting the data BEFORE people who would be asking awkward questions would see it. I was one of the people who could, and did, call project leads, or even C-level execs, and say "Uh... did you _really_ mean to say this?" And... I was right more often than not.
And when I saw the first 'Rona numbers, and this is a theme that has prevailed throughout the past "two weeks to flatten the curve," my first reaction was "why aren't they presenting all the data?" Because that wouldn't fly.
