#CoronavirusOutbreak has upended life for Americans of all backgrounds and circumstances. But our @pewresearch polling over last month has found some groups being hit harder than others. Thread on what we& #39;ve found so far 1/.
From our first survey, we& #39;ve seen big gaps in personal health concerns. Black and Hispanic Americans have been much more likely than whites to say outbreak is a & #39;major& #39; threat to their own health. Older adults also more likely to express this than younger adults. 2/.
Negative job impacts from outbreak vary widely across groups. In mid-March, Hispanic adults, younger adults and those with lower incomes were especially likely to say their household had already faced job loss/pay cut. 3/.

Negative job impacts from #coronavirus also vary by industry. Young people especially vulnerable: Among the 19.3 million workers ages 16 to 24 in the economy overall, 9.2 million, or nearly half, are employed in service-sector. 5/. https://pewrsr.ch/3a2A4vM ">https://pewrsr.ch/3a2A4vM&q...
There& #39;s a & #39;digital divide& #39; in responding to #CoronavirusOutbreak, including for teens trying to keep up as learning moves online. For instance, a quarter of lower-income teens don& #39;t have access to a home computer. 6/. https://pewrsr.ch/3a4GXN0 ">https://pewrsr.ch/3a4GXN0&q...
In dealing with the emotional stress caused by the #CoronavirusOutbreak, those who see the outbreak as a major threat to their own health or finances are especially likely to have experienced high psychological distress. 7/.
