I would say that new facts are facts that were not known or knowable before.
We learned a lot about covid over the past two years. Vaccines came along. Treatments have improved. The virus itself has changed. Populations have prior exposure. More study results are available. Etc. We continue to learn.
Apologies if my wording was confusing.
- s1artibartfast 5y agoSome were known before, but authorities have changed their stance based on political factors without new underlying data.
- mikem170 5y agoI agree. I guess politics and news coverage come after the more objective stuff I was thinking of. I guess not everyone interprets the facts the same, which is why I mentioned anxious people, who might have a tough time at the end of the pandemic, whereas other people had a tough time at the beginning, etc.
