Americans' Worry About Catching COVID-19 Drops to Record Low
Gallup ^ | 4/6/21 | RJ REINHART

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- At the same time Americans' satisfaction with the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine has surged, their concerns about getting the virus and about the availability of coronavirus tests and hospital services/treatment have fallen to record lows.

Thirty-five percent of U.S. adults now say they are very or somewhat worried about contracting COVID-19, the lowest point in Gallup's trend since April 2020. Twenty-two percent of Americans are very or moderately worried about access to hospital services/treatment, and 14% are just as worried about access to COVID-19 tests.

The percentages of Americans who worry about catching COVID-10, access to medical services and treatments, and tests for the disease. 35% of Americans now worry about contracting COVID-19. 22% worry about access to medical services and treatments. And, 14% are concerned about access to tests for the disease.

These data come from Gallup's latest COVID-19 probability-based web panel survey, conducted March 15-21 as vaccination rates continued to climb across the country. The current 35% worried about contracting COVID-19 is down 14 percentage points from February, and well off the record-high 59% of Americans who voiced concerns about catching the disease last summer.

Oh My....the Alinskyite Biden Administration will have to increase its fear mongering advertising or alternatively bring in a new variant via the Southern border that kills more rapidly.

We can’t allow the pandemic draconian social controls slip away unexploited . ( sarc.)

Now sit back and watch the collaboration of the media, politics and governments. It’s time to get those numbers up!

“Reporting” or “journalism” are neither one based in real and verifiable facts any more, but rely almost exclusively on polling results. And polls are easy to manipulate when the outcome is already expected to show a given result.

The propaganda agency (”Ministry of Truth” or Minitrue”), as predicted by George Orwell, is functioning at full capability.

So let me get this straight.

You roll out this “vaccine” that the media/leaders/fauci all say will protect you and society from Covid.

Many people buy this b.s. hook line and sinker thus reducing the fear of catching the dangerous Covid.

Now the media/leaders/fauci are concerned people are too carefree about Covid?

Well, here in Michigan I have some suspicions. On the radio this morning they mentioned kids numbers are way up. And interviewed the head of a children’s hospital. He indicated that their ER is swamped by kids with low key symptoms. IE, idiot parents are bringing in kids with a cold, and they test positive.
