The rest of us that need to work and/or smart enough to know unemployment checks aren’t forever think differently.
Thats why I’d like to see the results broken out.
The full results are at the bottom of the article with demographics for most of the questions.
Reading the article comments, many people say that the decisions should not be just yes/no as the survey presented them; it's not a binary choice between 'virus' and 'economy', and asking 'did this work so far' isn't the same as 'should we keep doing it'. As the number of cases and available resources change over time, it's only natural that the response can change as well, hopefully to reduce the strain on the economy while still keeping a low overall risk. This idea isn't even considered by the survey.
