Americans increasingly cautious as coronavirus cases surge

Americans increasingly cautious as coronavirus cases surge

New ABC News/Ipsos poll data finds most Americans are wearing face masks when leaving the home

Washington DC, June 26, 2020

Concern with potential coronavirus infection has rebounded in the latest ABC News/Ipsos poll as the number of cases in the South and West surge, even as more Americans are leaving the home. This trend is connected to increases in protective actions and decreased willingness to engage in certain ‘routine’ activities.

Americans are increasingly concerned with the coronavirus as cases surge across the Southern and Western United States.
  • Three-quarters of Americans (76%) are concerned about being infected by the coronavirus, up from 69% in early June. This reversed a two-month declining trend since April.
  • Almost four to one (56% to 15%), most Americans believe the U.S. is reopening the economy too quickly rather than too slowly. An additional 29% believe the economy is being reopened at the right pace.

The increase in concern is connected to an increase in protective behavior and reduction in willingness to be out in public.
  • Almost nine in ten (87%) Americans have worn a face mask or covering when leaving the home in the past week, up from 61% in mid-April.
  • The number of Americans willing to do many public activities has declined over the last two weeks after increasing through late May.
  • Americans are particular less willing to do things that would expose them to large groups or crowds such as attend a sporting event (21% willing, down from 29%), go to a movie theater (31%, down from 39%), go to church (49%, down from 57%), or fly on an airplane (36%, down from 44%).
  • Smaller-scale activities see a smaller reduction including going to a gym (28%, down from 33%), staying in a hotel (53%, down from 57%), and getting a haircut (65%, down from 69%).

This ABC News/Ipsos Poll was conducted June 24 to June 25, 2020 by Ipsos using the probability-based KnowledgePanel®. This poll is based on a nationally representative probability sample of 579 general population adults age 18 or older.

For some, either having no beds or just told to go home.

:blessed: But hey, at least it ain't that SOCIALIST HEALTHCARE system those Liberals keep talking about. Who needs Socialism when you have Medicaid/Medicare/Social Security? :troll:

Not sure I agree with this argument.

Celebrities have been used to sell stuff for decades. It didn't start or end with the Obama's.

Was the website not functional, or were they simply not prepared for the load based on their projections of how many people would sign up initially?

Even if it wasn't, to blame the functionality of a website on the focus of the cult of celebrity is still disingenuous.
