Only 35 percent of the people questioned from March 15 to 21 said they were bothered about contracting COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, generally known as the novel coronavirus. This poll also suggests that we can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The pollster has studied thoughts related to the pandemic since April last year when 60 percent of Americans were worried about becoming infected.
The rate of those worried about becoming infected has firmly declined since the start of the year, according to the poll. Americans have likely grown less worried about access to testing and treatment. Only 14 percent of the respondents told Gallup in March they were either very or moderately concerned about access to testing. Only 22 percent were very or moderately concerned about access to hospital and health services.

The number of those who thought the situation was getting a little or a lot graver fell to a record low of 7 percent.

Sixty-four percent, or nearly two in three Americans, said their lives were still obstructed, down slightly from 70 percent who said the same in February.
