A new wide-ranging survey on Irish perspectives and experience of Covid-19 shows universal concern among the public about the impact of the pandemic.
More than half of those surveyed are anxious about the spread of the virus, while 49% are anxious about the lack of a vaccine.Four out of five people say the Government is doing a good job. The survey was taken between 27 March and 1 April with a sample of 1,016 adults meaning the field work had just begun when Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced stricter restrictions on movement.
Men, older adults, the working classes and those outside Dublin are the more likely to be extremely concerned about personally contracting the virus.Some 67% of over-65s are extremely concerned about getting the virus. This drops to 13% for the those aged 18-25. But younger people were concerned about others with around a third of those aged between 25 and 49 expressing worry about their parents getting it.
Some 12% of Irish adults feel "very isolated" and in need of social support. Again, this is higher among younger people with 24% of those under 25 feeling this way compared to 7% of those over 65.Social distancing
The fact you had to run a survey to get figures like this shows how clueless you organisation is
The big advantage of working in the public service is you don't have to worry about job security....When a recession comes...
Stating the obvious
This is hardly surprising. Doh!
Let's just worry people even more, well done RTE.
