Americans Misinformed About COVID Hospitalization
Researchers asked Americans what “percentage of people who have been infected by the coronavirus needed to be hospitalized."

First, here's the statistic: The Chances somebody with COVID must be hospitalized is 1-5%. That's factual data.
Now, let's look at what Democrats, Republicans, and independent people think
Those who are correct in thinking it is 1-5%?
26% Republicans
20% Independents
10% Democrats
And those who are WAYYYY off and think 50% or more of people with COVID end up hospitalized?
Democrats 41%
Independents 35%
Republicans 28%
That's an incredible stat. Despite reality being 1-5%, 41% of Democrats think it's 50% or above. 69% of Democrats think 20% or more who get COVID are hospitalized.
Of course, this is because the US Media has terrorized the populace with non-stop fear porn, blaring that if you get COVID, you're gonna die. From the same article, 90% of US Major media outlet stories about COVID are negative in tone compared to 54% for non-US major sources, and 65% of scientific journals.
The US Media is in the business of scaring you, and clearly out of all of us the Democrats have been conned the most.. hook, line, and sinker.
So, to Democrats on here.. why do your ilk have this so catastrophically wrong? I would assume it's because those who are consoled and supported on a nightly basis by the major media outlets become far less likely to question them when they say bold proclamations.
If we want to talk about "disinformation", as leftist news outlets often do, pointing the finger at the few right wing outlets... well, this takes the cake, and it's just one of many mainstream instances of the leftist media institution peddling false reality.
