30 Of The Worst Designs Created During The Pandemic That Benefit No One

Crappy corona designs that may spread misinformation and cause false impressions about the virus are not the only thing to worry about. In fact, many Americans are also worried about how crappily their government is dealing with reopening after the lockdown. USA Today reports that according to this survey, almost 3 in 4 Americans, which makes up 71%, said they’re concerned about lifting social distancing restrictions too quickly.

Robert Griffin, the research director for the Democracy Fund Voter Study Group, believes that such data suggests that Americans are likely not to engage in leisure activities even if they reopen right now. “You can reopen a lot of things, the bars and restaurants can come back, you can try to reopen schools and send kids back to them, you can try to have larger events occurring ... for more than 10 people, but this really doesn't mean that people are going to necessarily engage in them," he said.

Meanwhile, Bankrate's Opening the Economy survey, done on May 5-6, showed that Americans aren't comfortable visiting businesses right away. To the questions “If businesses opened in your area on or before Memorial Day with added safety measures, how long do you think it will be before you are comfortable visiting them?”, only 22% said “within one week,” 19% said “one month to less than three months,” and 13% said they’ll wait until the vaccine.

The University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IMHE) is now estimating that the US will reach 135,000 deaths by August 1 due to several states easing their lockdowns. It has almost doubled since the last prediction with an estimate of 60,308 deaths.
