Americans haven’t let coronavirus keep them from concerts, plays or movies, but that will change if the disease spreads to their communities, a new study finds.
The survey of consumer behavior was conducted by Morning Consult from Feb. 28 to March 1, a period of time that saw the first death from coronavirus on U.S. soil. In the following days, five more people have died from an outbreak in Washington state, and more than 90 cases have been reported. The global death toll from the upper respiratory disease known as COVID-19 stands at more than 3,000 people.
And yet, even as the threat of a pandemic grows, half of the 2,200 respondents said they are neither more nor less likely to go to the cinema or to see a play. Forty seven percent of those surveyed said coronavirus had not impacted the likelihood that they would go to a concert or visit an amusement park.
