Only 40% of Americans say they feel comfortable going to concerts, theaters, amusement parks and sports events until there's a coronavirus vaccine
Fewer than half of Americans plan to go to concerts, movies, sports events and amusement parks when they reopen to the public until there is a proven coronavirus vaccine, according to aThe Reuters/Ipsos poll surveyed 4,429 American adults from April 15 to 21, asking about their previous attendance at sports events and live concerts and their interest in attending if they reopened before a coronavirus vaccine is available.
The United States leads the world with almost 1 million coronavirus infections and more than 56,000 deaths as of late Monday. Scientists project that a vaccine will not be on the market for 18 months. However, the numbers were much higher among people who had actually attended a professional sporting event in the past year, with 42% said they would return whenever sports reopens to the public and 39% saying they would rather wait for a vaccine.
While a further breakdown was not posted, like sporting events, presumably the percentages are higher among Americans who had actually attended films or concerts in the past year.
