Help! The statistics appear overwhelming to me. I do not even know some basic concepts, such as the mean, mode, and medium. Is there an introductory book about statistics for rookies like me?

Under the COVID-19 situation, our agency is planning to examine the effect of the pandemic. But it seems there is no available scale for that. Can we develop a new scale by ourselves?
