Surprise: Most people think the COVID restrictions were a good idea!

[鬼百合]

You'd never know it from what some people say, but it turns out that Americans largely supported the restrictions adopted to fight the COVID pandemic, according to a Harvard study:




Surprisingly, at least to me, even school closures got majority support. But,"Views on these pandemic policies vary by subgroup characteristics, including political party affiliation, race, ethnicity, and metropolitan status. The percentage who say all four policies were generally a good idea:

• Democrats (71%); Independents (44%); Republicans (18%)
• Black adults (62%); Hispanic/Latino adults (55%); white adults (32%)
• People living in urban areas (55%); suburban areas (39%); rural areas (29%)

Notably, there is some policy receptivity among all subgroups, with majorities of each subgroup saying at least one of the four policies was generally a good idea. For example, 62% of Republicans say at least one was generally a good idea, as do 70% of people living in rural areas."
