p<0.1, p<0.05, p<0.01. Standard errors clustered at the county level in parentheses. Outcomes are daily case or mortality incidence per 100,000 population at the county-day level. Controls include state-level and county-level policy adoption, wind speed, minimum and maximum daily temperature, precipitation, prior two-week social distancing behavior, day-of-week, and two lagged wind direction-by-monitor cluster interactions. Displayed output of a two-stage least squares regression model with county and state-by-week, MSA-by-week, or CBSA-by-week fixed effects in which wind direction and air quality monitor cluster interactions are used to predict PM 2.5 levels in a county on a given day. F-statistics of the relevance test are computed assuming first-stage standard errors are not serially correlated.
