Americans Lie About Having CoVid and Protecting Against It
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/QC8R62K5Jds
On average, 42% misrepresent their CoVid infection status and their adherence to public health recommendations necessary to avoid getting it and passing it to others. And these are NOT white lies that are victimless.
University of Utah researchers report this highly suspected but nonetheless disgusting finding following their national survey of 1733 US adults with a mean age of 41 years.
The most common lies told included lying to others about having the disease, lying about it when entering a healthcare facility or a public venue, lying about being vaccinated, lying about their need to quarantine, breaking quarantine, and avoiding getting tested.
The 5 most common reasons for these lies? I want to feel normal in 53%. I didn’t feel sick in 49%. I want to exercise my freedom in 49%. It’s no one else business in 48%. I was following guidance or misguidance from a public figure in 43%.
These statistics tell you why we are still fighting CoVid, why over a million Americans have died from it, and why millions more will suffer from its aftermath, that is Long CoVid, for years to come. Those of you with your heads in the sand need to wake up, protect yourself and all of us by getting vaxed, boosted, and following sensible masking and distancing precautions when necessary.
