The table shows the mean and 95% confidence intervals by state levels of infection and by source of information of 1) the chances of getting the virus within three months, 2) the chances of dying from the virus if infected, 3) excess mortality, 4) the chances of losing job within three months, 5) the chances of running out of money because of the virus within three months and 6) whether individuals refrain from at least one social activity. High-infected states include California (CA), New York (NY) and Washington (WA). We use sample weights to make the survey representative of the U.S. population aged 18 and older. Data come from “Understanding America Study” (UAS) collected between March 10 and March 16, 2020.
