Almost everyone overestimates Covid risk

Almost two years into this thing, and still people are so wildly misinformed about risk associated with Covid. Blame the media.

Democrats wildly overestimate Covid risk...only 2% correctly identify unvaccinated risk of hospitalization, which is less than 1%. Almost one in two Democrats think there is a greater than 50% chance of being hospitalized if an unvaccinated person catches Covid (again, real answer: <1%).

Republicans (particularly the unvaccinated segment of the party) wildly underestimate vaccine effectiveness.

This is about correct. Naïve people on both sides of the spectrum.

Right.....tell that to the 700K dead that the risk is overhyped.

600k plus whom would have been dead by now if Covid never was released

Things are getting better all the time

When a real pandemic hits the world will be decimated because these idiots botched COVID so badly.

The "Mainstream" media is indistinguishable from the Onion these days

85% of which were over 85 years old.. AKA they were going to die anyways.

Good to see the sociopath demographic remains well represented at LRC

The "fact -based community" knows when everyone is supposed to die? On what chromosome is this code on...what's the codon for it???

Wow. When am I due to die Unkle?

And don't bring up God here. That's faith, not fact.

I need facts. What's the codon?

Your point?

The guy posted an article which contains fact -- poll results.

Not sure what you are talking about

Deaths among that age group in the UK are up 47% since the vaccines

It’s hilarious that USA accounts for such large portion of the world deaths. Lower class and lower middle class people registered for Facebook and Twitter for the first time only about five to ten years ago and are fed lies about the virus and supposed treatments. Some of it from Trump media and Russia trolls and so there’s so much division it’s hilarious

I believe the deaths are greatly overstated as given the demographics of the group (age and health pre Covid) the vast majority of these folks would have been gone by now if Covid never appeared.

It's a little troubling that you accept these large number of deaths as being accurate and find it "hilarious"

And that you still buy into the Russians did it nonsense

it’s a good way to cope. Historically in societies we did the same thing with other deadly things we can’t control

Cancer ridden Herman Cain as the one known person supposedly dead from Covid.

Not much of a case to be afraid of Covid

If you want to see the faces of real people who have been put on ventilators in the last couple of hours, one way to do this is to go on Facebook and in the search panel type in something like “Covid ventilator prayer” and you will see a relative of someone suffering from Covid pneumonia who has made a public Facebook post about a close loved one who has just gone on the ventilator, ECMO treatment asking for prayers etc, or has just recently passed away.

Anecdotally these tend to be people in their 30s 40s based in the Deep South region of usa in states like Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia. Whether my search is finding these people because these tend to be a place where there is strong anti vax and/or whether this is due to the “prayer” piece of it resulting in a public Facebook post since these areas of USA tend to be very religious, I’m not sure but I think a combination . These victims are not exactly in shape to even be able to jog a 5K in under 25min on the fly, but they are NOT exactly super old super frail people >age 85 the LetsRun posters say are the only vulnerable types who need to worry about Covid and everyone else is fine, etc.
