A new study delves into the complex demographics behind people’s behavior during the coronavirus pandemic.
The size of a person’s bank account might predict just how often they’ll be washing their hands, wearing a mask or running out to do errands during the coronavirus pandemic. That’s according to a study released Monday that delves into the demographics of people’s behavior during the coronavirus pandemic.
• For example, the same person in the top-earning segment was 12.4% more likely to socially distance themselves than someone making $63,572. At the same time, people in both income bands said they were wearing masks and increasingly washing their hands at the same rate. Another wrinkle in the behavior of the mask-wearing public: Black poll participants were 13% more likely to wear masks than white poll participants, the study said. Other research has found that African Americans with coronavirus are more likely to be hospitalized and die than Caucasians, and African Americans are more likely to have a family member or close friend who has died from the virus. That may give them pause before leaving home without a mask.
