    I googled. 42.4% of adults according to the most recent figures. That’s closer to half than a third.

    2014 it was closer to a third. 2017-2020 it was 42.4%. Given the tred, I wouldn’t be surprised that it’ll be close to or more than half now.

      The post-pandemic numbers are bound to be very different. I’m working on a study for medical school right now and it was ever so much fun to have to throw out more than half of my work because the results from pre-pandemic studies are so wildly different from studies after 2020. The pandemic is going to have public health effects that will last generations.
