The first and third columns present intention to treat (ITT) estimates of the effect of assignment to the upper-bound condition on our outcomes of interest. The second and fourth columns present local average treatment effect (LATE) estimates of the effect of beliefs about $R_{0}$ on the same outcomes. The outcomes of interest are whether participants comply with various behaviors if the pandemic were to continue for 7 days or 2 months. We use robust standard errors (*** $p < 0.01$ , ** $p < 0.05$ , * $p < 0.1$ )
