You're making my point. The data is from the US. Somehow, despite high rates of that specific comorbidity, the data shows Americans are hospitalized at dramatically lower rates than Americans estimate. The post I replied to said: > That complexity was pretty ruthlessly exploited here in the US by groups that wanted to downplay the issue [...] Apparently it was not exploited too ruthlessly if surveys show people were still grossly overestimating COVID-19 severity in the population. Does this result in better COVID-19 policies being made? Who is responsible for this disconnect between reality and what is perceived? How can we fix it? Or does it even need fixing? Perhaps we'd save more lives if everyone were convinced half of COVID-19 cases were fatal.
