Data for Unacast variables is from February 24th to August 5th at the county level. For Google variables, data is from Google Community Mobility reports for the period between February 15th and August 5th. We restrict the sample to within 30 days of a stay-at-home order. Both sets of measures show the change in mobility compared to a baseline for the same areas and same day of the week prior to the virus spread. Trust measures are from the General Social Survey (GSS). Based on repeated questions from 2000 to 2014 in 436 counties, each variable is computed as weighted shares from respondents’ answers
