@Pat What I found more interesting about this study is how it was partly debunked by showing that children were not choosing the immediate reward of a single marshmallow over the later reward of several due to an inability to delay gratification. Later studies showed the choice was made because some children lacked trust in adults and simply did not believe and chose the immediate (and certain) reward over a delayed reward they never thought they would get since they were so used to being lied to.
I would say that in any attempt to relate this study to COVID you will find the same sort of thought process holds true. That is, many have lost trust in the government and institutions. They feel if they delay getting their rights back they may not get them back at all.
Those kids who don't trust adults are WAY smarter.

They have done that study 1000 different ways and the result is always as you describe more or less... People really are idiots when in large groups.
