did not experience previous outbreak -> 79% ate poopy grape experienced previous outbreak -> 47% ate poopy grapes Interesting they can correlate the events somehow.. wow. Are they smarter than us in some ways? Have we changed our behavior after covid? 79-47 = 32%, are 32% of us taking new covid vaccine for the new strain?
