Life In Quarantine: Vices and Gratitude

It’s no surprise we’re all giving in, as most of us feel some combination of cabin-fever (52%), anger (51%), and loneliness (48%) since stay-at-home orders have gone into effect

• Around a third of Americans say they have felt overwhelmed (36%), claustrophobic (33%), annoyed (32%) since stay-at-home orders have gone into effect

But, at the same time, solitude is reminding us of what matters; Over three-quarters of Americans have felt compassionate (77%) and appreciative (75%) since stay-at-home orders have gone into effect 

And many are taking the extra time to make more home-cooked meals (68%) and eat more fresh food (42%); especially adults 35-49 and higher-income households

• 74% of 35-49; 69% of 18-34 vs 60% of 65+
• 74% of HHI $75k+ vs 59% <$50k
