A sample size of 1000 is huge.

#5The survey does say just enough about their methods to make it sound like it's not at all something that can be taken all that seriously.
"In a recent survey, we asked about 1,000 parents what their biggest worry amidst the pandemic was, and what we found was a surprise. It turns out that the majority of parents are worried about their families being infected by the virus rather than finding work or paying the mortgage."
I'm not sure why that's surprising. If you ask 1,000 people who have jobs that aren't gone or at immediate risk of going away, then yep, that's exactly what we're going to worry about. There's probably some serious statistical problems there.

It could be huge or tiny depending on the size of the mean and standard deviation of the effect you're looking for in comparison to the mean and sdev of unrelated variations.

#8Worrying about a potentially deadly illness that you can do little about, vs worrying about losing your source of income and having to.. look for another job.
I'm definitely more worried about infection, too.
