Americans against reopening of businesses as fear of corona crisis is far from over: Survey
A sizable majority of Americans have opposed the reopening of restaurants, retail stores and other businesses, which were locked down due to the coronavirus restrictions put in place to contain the virus, fearing that the health crisis is not yet over and many people may still get infected by the fast-spreading contagion, a US-based survey has found.
According to a Washington Post-University of Maryland poll, conducted between April 28 to May 3 among random samples of 1,005 adults, about half of the states in the US have eased restrictions on businesses, but Americans' unease about patronising them represents a major hurdle to restarting the economy.
Many Americans have been making trips to grocery stores and 56 per cent say they are comfortable doing so. But 67 per cent say they would be uncomfortable shopping at a retail clothing store, and 78 per cent would be uncomfortable eating at a sit-down restaurant. People in states with looser restrictions report similar levels of discomfort as those in states with stricter rules, the survey said.
