72% of women said they are avoiding public gatherings, compared to 58% of men.
In a shocking turn of events, a Reuters study has shown that men in the U.S. are not as likely to heed health warnings about COVID-19 as women are. Rather than listening to health professionals and practicing #SocialDistancing, men think that somehow, they are not in mortal danger and can, in fact, do whatever they want. Can you believe?
ADVERTISEMENT The Reuters/Ipsos poll — conducted between March 18 and March 24 — showed that, at a glance, 54% of American women said they were “very concerned” about the global pandemic, while only 45% of men said the same. What does this mean in terms of precautions men and women are taking to protect themselves and the greater population from the virus? Let’s look to the suggestions the CDC has given us in the past couple weeks about the steps we all need to take to flatten the curve.
When The New York Times used a subhead in their article on the study to simply shout into the void “MEN MORE CAVALIER,” we felt that. 25% of men who were included in the poll said they strongly agreed that many people are unnecessarily panicking . Men were also more likely to think that the media is blowing everything out of proportion and that the situation at large “isn’t really a big deal for most people.” Sounds familiar...
— CBS News March 18, 2020 But listen, guys, it’s not their fault. Statistically speaking, men were less likely than women to even understand how the coronavirus spreads in the first place. 32% of men said they believed that COVID-19 is “mostly a problem for people who travel a lot,” compared to 23% of women with the same answer. 28% of men also believed that the virus is “mostly a problem for people who live in urban areas,” while only 17% of women agreed.
