“Cancel all meetings or gatherings of more than 10 people, like sports events, concerts, conferences, etc.”
March: 85% support
April: 87% support— John Sides (@johnmsides) April 19, 2020
“Close schools and universities”
March: 85% support
April: 87% support— John Sides (@johnmsides) April 19, 2020
“Restrict all non-essential travel outside the home”
March: 82% support
April: 86% support— John Sides (@johnmsides) April 19, 2020
