The “Covid States Project” recently published their most recent survey of how Americans are (or are not) complying with the CDC’s COVID mitigation guidance (e.g. wash hands, disinfect surfaces, wear masks, socially distance)
In a prior post, we noted that mask wearing compliance has steadily increased to over 75% (the light yellow diagonal line running from the lower left to upper right corners).
But, “socially distancing” behaviors are declining … both the percentage of people avoiding contact with people outside their home (red line) and those avoiding crowded or public places (green line).
More specifically, the survey indicates:
- Education: Mask-wearing and social distancing is statistically unrelated to level of education
- Gender: Women wear masks and socially distance more than men
- Race: Proportionately fewer Whites wear masks than other racial groups; Whites and Hispanics tend to socially distance less than Blacks and Asians.
But, the differences among education levels, gender and race are relatively modest … probably within the margin of error.
There are a couple of identity characteristics that do show significant differences…
