As more states begin to ease coronavirus lockdown restrictions, only 35 percent of Americans say they will be comfortable visiting local businesses in less than a month if they reopen Memorial Day, according to a new poll conducted by Bankrate.
Twenty-two percent said they'd be comfortable visiting local businesses within a week if they reopen on or before Memorial Day, 14 percent said they'd be comfortable between one week and less than a month, 19 percent said one month to less than three months, 11 percent said three months to less than six months, 7 percent said six months to less than a year, and 3 percent said one year or longer.
The poll, which surveyed 1,341 U.S. adults from May 5 to 6, also found that 13 percent of Americans said they won't feel comfortable visiting local reopened businesses until a vaccine is available or the virus is contained. The poll's findings come as a number of states have begun to relax lockdown restrictions and reopen their economies. Nearly every state, except Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Connecticut, has allowed some nonessential businesses to reopen statewide while continuing to follow social distancing guidelines.
Despite the reopenings in a majority of states, the nation's number of coronavirus cases continues to rise. According to May 15 data from a Johns Hopkins University tracker, the U.S. has over 1.4 million cases and at least 86,228 deaths.Alexi Rosenfeld/Getty,"I think that there's a fair amount of consumer caution in evidence here, in the case that the so-called V-shaped recovery has been diminishing as the restrictions have persisted.
More BS. There isn't a person I know who won't embrace a local business/restaurant the second they open. 35%? More liberal media BS to give the suggestion that it is a low percentage. Open the damn country and you will see.
Shouldn’t be a matter of when local restaurants open up. Many local restaurants have been doing take out for many weeks. You can support your local restaurants now even with the shelter in place.
This has been happening for weeks in open states
Which means 35% of Americans are dumber than a bag of dryer lint...
So what percentage of that 35% will wear masks? Yeah, things are going to get worse...
And 65% are not?
