Seventy-four percent of Americans are afraid of accidentally spreading the coronavirus, but they're not actually changing their behavior, a new poll finds.
There is a wide disparity between beliefs and behavior when it comes to the novel coronavirus, despite public health experts, government officials, and business executives urging Americans to stay home. California’s Bay Area has mandated a “shelter in place” policy for some 7 million residents, which requires them to remain at home barring essential activities. New York City may be expected to follow suit.
Half of respondents have not altered their hygiene behavior with house guests . As recently as this past weekend, social distancing has become ubiquitous in talk but not practice. Story continues‘The kerosene on the fire of the news cycle’The unknown and unprecedented nature of the disease is stoking fear among Americans. Seventy-nine percent of respondents said drastic headlines about how society is changing is the No. 1 reason they are fearful. Seventy-eight percent said they are primarily scared because of the deluge of news about people fighting over products at the grocery store; 75% pointed to the constant stream of reactions to the outbreak on social media.
In light of store closures and reduced hours, those working in the service industry are hit the hardest, while tech and business workers benefit the most from “work from home” policies, which is not an option for many employees — across retail, hospitality, transportation and the like.
