Americans Not Concerned About Losing Lives To Covid-19 Says A Study
X
The United States is the most severely affected nation globally by the Covid-19 outbreak. The total toll of Coronavirus infections in the nation has risen to 28,841,399. The US has been registering 70,000 infections daily over the past week.

What's even scarier is that a recent survey has found out that the Americans are not fearing the ongoing Coronavirus like earlier and they are less afraid of dying from the Covid-19.

The Northwestern University (NU) and the Ohio State University conducted a panel survey to know how the Americans see Covid-19. The ongoing survey found out that Americans are not worried about losing their lives to Covid-19.

Director of the Center for Communication and Public Policy at NU, Erik Nisbet said, back in December one in every three Americans who contracted Covid-19 had the possibility of dying of Covid-19. But the dying percentage has come down. Nearly one in every four infected people have chances of losing their lives to Covid-19.

Over the past few months, there was a change in the perception of the Americans towards the Coronavirus and the decisions they take to combat the Coronavirus pandemic.

To get more data on the issue, the researchers have prepared a questionnaire that consists of questions related to various topics like restrictions on the eateries and religious places and the rule to make mask-wearing mandatory.

The only good news that favors America is the rise of the percentage who express their willingness to take the Covid-19 vaccine. Four in every ten Americans are ready to take the vaccine, while one in every three Americans is hesitant to get vaccinated.

According to the research, women, Black people and people who are religious expressed their hesitance to take the vaccine as they still have doubts about the effectiveness of the vaccine.
