In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, two human factors are battling it out: awareness of the virus’s severe consequences, and fatigue from nine months of pandemic precautions. The results of that battle can be seen in the oddly shaped case, hospitalization, and fatality-count graphs, says a new study co-authored by Georgia Tech Covid-19 researcher Joshua Weitz. Coverage of the new study also appeared in Futurity.
