Fun little test about your knowledge on COVID. (useful because it points out unevidenced misconceptions or conspiracies)

Got 100% on the 20 question version, seemed too easy but maybe it's just because I work in healthcare

I think it's because the options are mostly this:
A) I'm a dumb antivaxxer
B) The government is in on it!
C) This sounds reasonable
D) I heard this on Fox News
- Which is exactly why this test won't change views. They'll simply say the right answers are wrong.
Also some of the questions are just sort of obvious lol. The three options for ivermectin except “does not help COVID” are basically “cures every disease” “cures all covid cases” and “prevents covid from ever happening again” rather than more nuanced alternative answers
Sadly, I've met a couple people who work in healthcare and would have failed, at least if they chose answers that matched their real opinions. I misread the one about antibody tests, and I tend to mix up the test names because I don't work in healthcare. And I didn't know Vitamin D was at all helpful, good to learn. My vulnerable spouse and I have so far avoided infection and hope to stay that way.
You’d be suprised the number of specialists who are confidently incorrect on the Long COVID stuff. Believing its psychosomatic or overblown or “only affects anxious women”.
- So I'm an... "Anxious woman".
  Well okay I'll roll with it 👠
It's also a multiple choice test. Those tend to guide you via phrasing, etc. "Never" and "Always" are really strong words that should be taken with caution and are often wrong, etc.
I got the same result, though I thought I'd had something wrong when difficulty started decreasing.
I have a history of getting way too good scores on multiple choice tests and it always makes me wonder if other people don't catch on to the clues or what's going on lol
- I'm not too bright and jam on multiple choice. Had many teachers growing up who taught me how to work them.
  It's more about eliminating wrong answers than knowing the correct one. And of 4, 1 or 2 are always obviously wrong. If you're totally bamboozled, go with your guy instinct, whatever your first answer was.
  The IT world has been the only place I was presented with 3 or 4 close answers. Anything from MS, or derived from them, is frustrating as hell because you have to answer the "Microsoft way". A completely correct answer can be wrong.
- "That doesn't sound right" and "it can't be anything else but this one" I think I spotted for some of the questions.
I got 100% and I didn't even understand what they were asking for some questions. The answers show the creators opinions and it makes it too easy.
- Agreed
I don't work I healthcare. I also got 100%
Some questions I was certain about and were obvious.
On the ones I had no clue, all the wrong answers seemed like bad memes. So I chose the least meme-y one.
Some I chose the least specific/assertive/concrete one. Because humans, health and biology varies so much.
Wait, am I an adult now? Shit
Got 94% on the short test, didn't know about Swedens handling of the disease. I have no medical experience whatsoever.

I got 94%, only one question wrong, but it was about another country's covid statistics so I'll count that as me being good for where I live anyway. Dunno how variable this quiz is so not getting too specific.

Same, the only question I got wrong was about Sweden, I had no idea what they did differently haha
- They went full-on "herd immunity" mentality at first and closed down nothing. Here in my corner of Europe (Sweden being directly across the Baltic lake from us), it was pretty big news, but obviously people in other corners of the world would've had different information spheres.
- I only remembered that one because talking heads on Fox News were comparing the US to Sweden for a while, in an effort to be more like them. Yet even then it was showing Sweden was doing worse in this regard.

Got the antibody question wrong because I didn't read it properly.

Got the shed question wrong because I had never heard the term in that contact, kinda guessed.

Most of these are easy because even if you don't know the answer, the other three are obviously wrong.

100% on the quick one, though it wasn't hard to tell with a lot of them.

Missed one, I said that Vit D had no relation to COVID. I thought about picking the right one but figured that it wasn't specific to COVID.

17/20. I missed Sweden, PCR test accuracy, and COVID death count factor. But those were also largely things with variable reports during the pandemic from top health sources, so I feel fairly confident at least.

I guessed correct on the Sweden question only because the other 3 seemed worse. No idea why that one was in there.
18/20 - Sweden and PCR test specificality here

I missed the one on false positives from PCR tests, I was thinking false negatives.
