Answer:

The lack of understanding and preparedness for COVID-19 plus the fast-spreading nature of the virus has contributed to the exponential surge of cases worldwide, leading to a global pandemic of earth-shattering proportions.

Yet despite the outcry from many governors and senators for citizens to continue self-distancing and quarantining, many are not buying stay-at-home orders. Mounting anger and frustration with the lockdown and no end in sight, throngs of protesters—biting at the bit to get back to work—are flocking to state capitols, claiming politicians are overreaching in their restrictions and trampling on their civil liberties and the right to work. Many of the demonstrators, wielding signs that read, "Liberate Us" and "Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death," refuse to wear masks or abide by the six-foot social distancing regulation.

Beaches are re-opening, churchgoers continue to congregate—determined not to forfeit their right to assemble and worship—and a resurgence of social gatherings has been reported at municipal parks and golf greens. Conspiracy theories abound, claiming governments are gaslighting citizens—feeding them massive lies about the pandemic. Conspiracy theorists insist the lockdown will collapse financial organizations and that corrupt politicians, the World Health Organization (WHO), and savvy financiers will gain an economic monopoly and power to take over the world. And security for Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, has been beefed up due to death threats.

While a recent study by Harvard researchers report that social distancing might remain in effect until 2022, their message is falling on deaf ears. Hardliner religious leaders argue that scientists, government officials, and the WHO don’t believe in God and are determined to usurp their God-given rights to assemble and worship.

Will the impatience, frustration, and refusal to heed scientists and government leaders create a second wave of the pandemic and put the nation at greater risk? If you believe the Harvard researchers and an alarming new study reported by eMediHealth, an expert-reviewed health resource, the answer could be yes. Pollfish, a market research platform, collected data between April 6 and April 14, 2020, from 5,000 adult residents of the US regarding general views of the COVID-19 threat, measures taken, and precautionary practices. Here are the major findings:

Reliable Data

Some 71 percent of the respondents rely on news outlets as their most trusted source to keep abreast of the pandemic and 50 percent turn to social media while only 43 percent rely on data from credible health organizations such as WHO or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Facts: With the constant barrage of information, it can be difficult to tell facts from hearsay or misinformation. In an age of ubiquitous social media, unverified information can mislead scores of people, sending them in the wrong direction and creating adverse repercussions and mismanagement of the pandemic.
