    I dug in (thanks for linking sources) and there are some promising details. The ~80% figure for the US is from a 2011 report (even though the citation states 2014…), so it’s very old. In 2019, the US began an initiative to increase awareness of this issue and address it, see the progress here (pdf link).

    Not trying to counter the narrative, but at least we’re talking about it on the federal level, so maybe that can provide some optimism to people.
