Americans are losing their sense of invincibility toward coronavirus

By the numbers: More Americans are taking precautionary measures.

More than 80% of Americans say they’ve increased washing their hands since the virus outbreak and more than 70% say they now use hand sanitizer.

A majority of Americans say they’re stocking up on bottled water, canned goods, frozen food and toilet paper.

Between the lines: The survey also finds that more Americans are quickly changing their purchasing habits, which could have implications for the economy.
