What's this?

In a survey, the wording of the question matters, and a lot of people


screw it up. Even the professionals.

I would consider these two questions differently:

(1) People are still contracting Covid 19
(2) The pandemic is over

Clearly yes for 1, and I'd say yes for 2 (which I would interpret as the disruptive and potentially dangerous stretch from March 20 until I basically returned to business as usual).
