An Australian National University survey has found that many people fear the worst of the pandemic is still ahead of us | swrighteconomy
Four in five Australians expect to catch COVID-19, a long-term tracking survey has found, with many fearing the worst of the pandemic is ahead of the country and concern rising about the nation’s overall direction.
“This is a doubling compared to October 2021, when two in five, or 40 per cent, of Australians thought they would be infected,” study co-author Professor Matthew Gray said. Such concern about the pandemic has fed directly into large falls in satisfaction in the country’s direction, confidence in the federal government and attitudes towards major institutions.
