68% of Americans Want a COVID-19
Vaccine Before Returning to Normal Life Two new surveys conducted by Gallup
have found a slight shift in the amount of
people who've been adhering to stay-at-home
guidelines within the last month. Around 74% of Americans said they are still avoiding
small gatherings, a 6% decrease from mid-April. The survey found that the decrease is most
prominent among independents and Republicans. Independents are down 10% to 74% of people and Republicans are down 7% to 60% of people. Gallup also found that 16%
of people admitted to visiting others
in their homes in the last 24 hours. Although these changes may be
an indication that people are growing tired
of quarantines, most Americans agree that the
country is not ready to return to normal life. 80% of people said that in order to return
to normalcy, mandatory quarantines must be enforced
for those who test positive for COVID-19. 68% of people also said that having an accessible
vaccine is a very important factor in moving forward. In addition, 6 out of 10 people think widespread
testing is key to identifying and tracking infection. Nearly 75% of people believe that there needs to be a
significant reduction in new cases and deaths before
they’d be willing to return to normal activities.
