> Americans also estimated that the share of COVID-19 deaths for people between 18 and 24 was 8%"? The fact that we're so misinformed can't be a good thing, can it? The correct numbers have been available on the CDC website the entire time, unfortunately a lot of people either don’t care or don’t find it useful to memorize those statistics. Not great to see but I think it track’s with the public usually mangling other statistical numbers as well when surveyed. > A lot of the anger over the government's handling of covid has to do with that. It isn't unreasonable to believe (as I do) that, consequences be damned, the government is obligated to tell the truth and should not lie to get people to act a certain way. Agree, the fact that so many government leaders spent a year downplaying the danger of the virus and lying to their followers to try to win an election or for other political reasons should make people angry and upset. It’s always sad seeing the stories of someone who was led astray by those leaders and subsequently even refused the vaccine and died of Covid-19 because they had been convinced it was just a common cold that only killed nursing home patients.
