Note: Model 1 measures governing demands using positive cases, Model 2 measures governing demands using the test positivity rate, and Model 3 measures governing demands using the pandemic severity composite measure. The models provide weighted estimates using inverse-probability weights. The models are specified with robust standard errors clustered by state. Exact p-values in parentheses.
