Americans have changed their behavior in ways that would have been unthinkable even a few months ago. Masks are an essential accessory. Social distancing is the norm. And even as states moved to reopen their economies in May and June, many Americans continued to think it was better for people to stay home.
for the first time. And perhaps thanks to Trump’s repeated downplaying of the threat that COVID-19 poses, Republicans are much less concerned than Democrats are about the virus., Republicans have consistently been less likely than Democrats to say that they fear being hospitalized because of COVID-19 or that they might unknowingly spread the virus to others. But on the other hand, that partisan gap has widened significantly between April and June.
These trends are cause for alarm among the small army of social scientists who have tried to figure out how Americans are responding to the virus since the beginning of the pandemic — from the conflicting signals they’ve received from Trump and other political leaders, to changing guidelines from public health experts.Marc Hetherington

FiveThirtyEight I've always said this is a health crisis, not a political debate. Drives me crazy and makes us look terrible to other countries.
FiveThirtyEight Divided politics has ALWAYS affected our health.
FiveThirtyEight You are right. Democrats need to take this pandemic thing more serious. They went out 'protesting' and now we have record confirmed cases. good job bozos.
FiveThirtyEight The saddest thing is that the virus does not care one bit what ANYONE'S politics are. It is literally like a wildfire; it will consume all in front of it.
FiveThirtyEight That's because we know the numbers are all fraudulent on every level.
FiveThirtyEight No..just the Dems..they see it as political..so sad..
FiveThirtyEight Do not get tested Virus is being spread at the testing sites. Unused swabs coming back as positive. People tired of waiting in line are later notified they tested positive without ever having taken the test. Swabs push the virus into your system
FiveThirtyEight JoeBiden such a good leader even realDonaldTrump followed him in wearing a mask! And followed him in cancelling Republican Primary in Florida due to the Pandemic! Biden did this way back weeks and months ago; Trump just realized that! This is how Trump mismanaged this Nation!
