A new NBC News/WSJ poll also shows how the past month has changed Americans attitudes about the coronavirus.
In March, 53 percent of voters said theyre worried that someone in their immediate family would catch the disease. Now its 73 percent.
Also in March, a combined 26 percent said the coronavirus has changed their day-to-day life in a very or fairly major way. Now its 77 percent.

Same. Life ruined by the Wuhanic plague.
Well gee in March we were not in total economic lockdown and a new great depression, no wonder more people think this has changed their lives.
You can have polls. Here is data as of today.
In my large metro county of over 1M people there has not been a death since April 1. He numbers of new cases have personally ceased to exist
Additionally in the state of a Florida overall the vaunted modelers have cut the likely number of deaths from 3400 to 1700. You read the right 1700 deaths in a state of 21M people
That means the rare is 0.008%
Imagine
An economy shut down for 1700 deaths
Oh and by they way. Estimated influenza deaths in Florida? 3000
Some people don’t live in reality. There are even people claiming that COVID19 is no more serious than the ordinary common cold even now. Had someone get mad at me the other day for having the audacity to suggest that a disease in which a substantial number of the population is already immune to and for which we have and have had vaccines for a long period of time can’t spread as fast and isn’t as deadly. They claimed that was false and that diseases for which we have no immunity and no vaccine don’t spread any faster. Not making it up.
Plot for the movie Monsters, Inc.
The city of Monstropolis in the monster world is powered by energy from the screams of human children. At the Monsters, Inc., factory, skilled monsters employed as “scarers” venture into the human world to scare children and harvest their screams, through doors that activate portals to children’s bedroom closets. Energy production is falling because children are becoming less easily scared, and Henry J. Waternoose, the company’s chairman, is determined to find a solution to the problem.
Some one has to keep the gears going to produce the things we need to fight the disease as well as the other things we need just to survive day by day as a nation or chaos and rioting related to food shortages and new onset poverty not directly relatable to covid will start padding the death counts shortly.
That is what is on the flubros’ minds. They are in a kind of denial but they are right in their conclusions. We are going to have to work out a way to continue our economy while living with the disease until it peters out.
As is always the case, polls typically reflect the agenda of the people that sponsor them. Usually they would not pay for them otherwise. Especially those paid for by the radical left.
Its not that we flubros are winning
Its thst we ARE RIGHT.
The fear mongers are resorting to cheating by adding possible cases Because the numbers are so bad for you and them
Its because is so called flubros are independent thinking people capable of analyzing data and finding the truth in it.
Its because us so called flubros believe that the sanctity of the ideals of America will act in the best interest of her citizens. The fundamental tenants of freedom overcame the tyranny of those wanting to control is
A real man would come around to admitting he got it wrong. A person Of character would not post a poll from a known scam left leaning outfit that works to promote tyranny.
Its time Danny. Show us who you are? A man of character or intellect. Or a lemming who has bought hook, line and sinker the lies told to you. Are you a free man or a loyal subject controlled by your government?
As I’m sure you’re aware, the population fatality rate is not an intrinsic property of the virus. It can be modified by what you do.
If Florida now has a projected population fatality rate of 0.008% great!!!. That rate reflects the shutdown that occurred.
You don’t know how many deaths would have occurred if you didn’t have the shutdown. I assure you it would have been a lot higher.
....... All I know is that I am already down 3 friends and counting from this thing which never happened in previous years from the Flu Virus.
Yes.
Not to mention, if people are so happy about being locked down at home, losing their jobs, going bankrupt, being financially ruined, how come protests and demonstrations have erupted everywhere against lockdowns despite being under the threat of getting arrested for breaking lockdown rules?
Im sure other people can tell a similar tale. I live in a county with 220,000 people. About 120 cases. Over 60 have already been cured and are at home. Two deaths. Both elderly with pre-existing conditions (God test their souls). Im just not seeing the end of the world.
Internal factions don’t really matter, Danny. We have a war on several fronts here.
We have to figure out how to beat the virus, because it remains. That includes keeping as many people alive as we can, especially the vulnerable, while at the same time not losing our freedom and our country.
This country has a number of tin horn despots trying to attack the vulnerable, which is all of us, at this time. Some of these same people also appear to be in league with China. They are all enemies, and they would be thrilled to enslave us as soon as possible.
We have to, while all of this is happening, figure out how to re-establish our own manufacturing base. The folly of our previous ways has been perfectly illustrated.
And we have to, while of this happening of course, figure out how best hold China accountable for its act of war.
We must proceed with the plan President Trump has established. Yes, there will be pain and death, the toll is going to continue to mount. I trust our President. Our country is in his hands, let’s support him.
It does not matter IMO who is right and who is wrong internally, we must prevail. China is our mortal enemy. After them, we need to deal with our own Communist monsters in this country.
You forgot the NBC Mission Accomplished flag.
Sorry to hear it.
Trump mentioned he had lost a friend to it.
Some of us understand that we and family members could catch WuFlu, but we’re not “worried”.
Has the take-down-Trump idiocy changed our day-to-day lives? Of course. We’re being treated like caged animals now when we weren’t before.
Danny give it up last year we 67,000 die of the flu and we still went on with our lives!! We are a free people WE ALL live with risks every damn day OPEN THIS BABY UP NOW!!!
Considering every assumption you have made has been wrong, I am not sure how you can bleat this.
More data, Danny....There are now three studies demonstrating that social distancing has minimal effect on the overall progress of CoVID in the population. Math Models based on the data (Israel study) demonstrates an almost invariant 70 day cycle no matter what the mitigation strategies are.
Stanford study demonstrate significantly deeper penetrance into the community than thought based on antibody testing
Rush is right and Mark Levin is right: The fear mongering people ALWAYS win. Try this out — there is not a SINGLE SHRED OF EVIDENCE that social distancing has made a difference. It is the ultimate in hubris and circular arguments stating what you have said — you are the rooster taking credit for the dawn.
You’re assumptions are roughly equal to the veracity of the news printed in the New York Times. Neither is fit to print.
How long will you hold onto your increasingly and glaringly incorrect dear mongering and attempts to prove you are correct?
I havent dismissed anything ... and I still think the response to this outbreak has been idiotic almost uniformly across the board.
