Question: How likely is the following to take place?		Certainly	≥Very likely	≥ Rather likely	≤Rather unlikely	≤ Very unlikely	Certainly not
F1	A second wave of COVID-19 infections in Switzerland beginning before the end of the year 2020.	11.4 (21) [7.5; 16.7]	36.8 (68) [30.1; 43.9]	77.8 (144) [71.3; 83.2]	22.2 (41) [16.8; 28.7]	2.2 (4) [0.8; 5.4]	0.5 (1) [0.1; 3.0]
F2	A different pathogen causing another pandemic of equivalent or greater magnitude than COVID-19 within the next 20 years.	12.4 (23) [8.4; 18.0]	43.2 (80) [36.3; 50.4]	88.6 (164) [83.3; 92.5]	11.4 (21) [7.5; 16.7]	2.7 (5) [1.2; 6.2]	0.5 (1) [0.1; 3.0]

The six answer options were “certainly,” “very likely,” “rather likely,” “rather unlikely,” “very unlikely,” and “certainly not;” “≥Rather likely” encompasses all individuals who answered “rather likely,” “very likely,” or “certainly;” “≤Rather unlikely” encompasses all individuals who answered “rather unlikely,” “very unlikely,” or “certainly not.” “CI” stands for Wilson’s confidence interval.
