This table presents two OLS regressions estimating the effect of being assigned to either of the treatment groups (relative to the control) on beliefs about $R_{0}$ . The outcome in column 1 is beliefs about $R_{0}$ , and the outcome in column 2 is squared beliefs about $R_{0}$ . Demographic control variables are used in both regressions
