Models nested counties within states. “March baseline” represents the average of the outcomes over the first week of March. Rurality is coded as percent of the county or state that is rural. Ethnicity is coded as percentage non-Hispanic whites. Education is coded as percent with some college education. Gender is coded as percentage women. “Stay-at-home order issued” assessed whether the state issued a stay-at-home order.
