People are more concerned about the coronavirus pandemic now than they were in the past 2 months, a WebMD reader poll finds. What to know:
The numbers come from the WebMD COVID Index, which reflects responses from 3,000-plus readers each week over the past 14 weeks. More than 60,000 readers have shared their thoughts to the same five questions, which measures weekly changes in concerns about personal risk, lifestyle impact, mental wellness, access to health services, and perception of well-being.
That concern is reflected across all age groups. In the past week, more than half of all readers said they felt somewhat or significantly more concerned about the pandemic than they did the week before. The highest number, 59%, was in the 25-to-34 age group, with readers under 25 being the second largest at 57%. Young people have been one of the groups driving the increase in cases.
“People may also feel that they have more control over how much they’re exposed,” says John Whyte, MD, chief medical officer for WebMD. “And as we learn more about what behaviors are the riskiest and what keeps people safe, it might give them more confidence as they go about their daily lives.” Some responses have remained nearly the same since April. For instance, a large number of WebMD readers say news coverage about COVID-19 has affected theirlevels, and that hasn’t changed much in the past 4 months. In addition, a large number of readers say COVID-19 has somewhat impacted their access to health care and ability to see a doctor, which also hasn’t changed much.
