A new poll from Pew on where people believe the CoVID-19 virus originated:
Note that it's already been determined that CoVID-19 is a mutation of the SARS virus. But, thanks to Fox News and Glorious Leader, that bit of information got buried.
Here's the breakdown:
What's appalling about this is that less than half the people in this country believe the virus is a natural mutation. (And let's face it, viruses mutate like crazy -- that's why there are so many varieties of flu.) And even worse, look at the age breakdown: the 19-29 year-olds are the group with the largest number of -- what shall I call them? How about "paranoid fantasists"?
I fear for the future.

While a plurality of Americans (43%) say the new coronavirus most likely came about naturally, nearly three-in-ten (29%) say it most likely was created in a lab, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted from March 10 to 16, 2020, as part of the Center’s nearly yearlong Election News Pathways project.
Around a quarter of adults (23%) say it is most likely that the current strain of coronavirus was developed intentionally in a lab; another 6% say it was most likely made accidentally in a lab. A quarter say they aren’t sure where the virus originated.
