COVID Check-In: Despite Uptick, Comfort With Everyday Activities Has Been Mostly Stagnant Since March

In the three months from January to March, CivicScience’s ongoing COVID Comfort Index rose dramatically, from a low of 52.0 to a high of 64.5 – an increase of 24% over 11 weeks.

In the eight weeks since March 20, the index has increased by just 3%, from 64.5 to 66.5, while going through some turbulence along the way. That’s despite reaching a new six-month high mark (66.5) this past week. Is last week’s upswing the start of a summer trend toward total comfort? Or have we more or less hit a ceiling of the percentage of Americans comfortable with the nation’s COVID situation? Check out our COVID Check-In infographic and decide for yourself.

Drop by again on Wednesday, June 1 for the next check-in.
