Obviously, the pandemic is still happening, so there will probably be answers in this quiz that need to be changed occasionally. If anyone notices anything that's out of date, please let me know!

AstraZeneca's vaccines has not yet been approved, much less been widely distributed. I'll consider adding in the future, maybe in a few weeks.

In response to your other recommendation though, I've decided to include a measurement in meters as well.

I never replied to this comment, but I am accepting metric now. I haven't updated this quiz in a while though. Probably should do so.

There is NO pandemic!! It's all a scam/hoax/fraud... the biggest global hoax of all time.

There's a veritable wealth of trustworthy information which absolutely proves that there is NO 'deadly pandemic' sweeping the planet.

The CORRUPT 'mainstream' Media worldwide is lying to the gullible masses. They're disseminating mere propaganda; false propaganda.

Countless millions of properly-informed, NON-gullible, NON-brainwashed, NON-naive people around the world (including many properly-informed doctors, nurses, scientists, lawyers, etc etc) are fully aware that there is NO pandemic: that it's all the most egregious, heinous, evil scam/hoax/fraud.
