Observations are individuals that completed both survey instruments at least once. Subject means across all surveys are used for independent and dependent variables. Using a 24 h recall period, Left Home is an indicator that the subject left home, Socialized is an indicator that the subject socially interacted within six feet of people not living with them and not for the purposes of food, health care, or banking services; Socialized, Not Work additionally excludes social interaction for paid employment purposes. Risk Tolerant ranges from 0 to 11 and is increasing in risk tolerance, Altruism ranges from −1.94 to 1.94 and is increasing in altruism, and High Risk is an indicator for whether the subject, or anyone they are living with, has a factor that increases the risk of a severe illness from a COVID-19 infection. Controls include all covariates listed in Table 1, except for Hosp. Rate and Potential Spread. Robust standard errors are in parentheses
