The Seattle Times reports that Elucd, a New York-based polling company, is tracking the evolution of public attitudes toward the coronavirus response, both in Seattle and across the nation.
The latest survey, conducted April 24-25, found a firm majority of Seattleites would commit to social distancing efforts until there is widely available antibody testing, a significant drop in new coronavirus cases, or updated guidance from elected leaders.
What will make you stop social distancing?
Widespread antibody testing: 38.6 percent
Significant drop in coronavirus cases: 26.7 percent
Guidance from elected leaders: 15.8 percent
Need to get back to work: 10.7 percent
Schools/businesses reopen: 4.9 percent
Can’t stay indoors any longer: 3.4 percent
Nearly half of the respondents said the hardest part of continued distancing was not seeing friends and family, followed by staying indoors and business closures.
Almost 69 percent of those surveyed said they had cut their food budget during the crisis, and 23 percent said they skipped payments on credit cards, cars or personal loans.
More than half reported their employment status was unchanged, while 17 percent said their hours or salaries were cut, and 17.3 percent said they became unemployed.
