FINDING THE HUMAN TRUTHS
The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly shifted our collective fears, concerns and priorities across the globe. Many officials have referred to it as a war against an invisible enemy.
And, as in all wars, one of the most important, impactful and enduring weapons at our disposal is Truth.
In response, we surveyed people in 18 countries
around the world to get a deeper look into the key Human Truths generated by the current crisis.
We continually fielded new surveys over the course of 2020 and 2021 as attitudes were quick to shift as the pandemic continued. While the pandemic is still ongoing, our global research has now ended.
