Our initial analysis, conducted at the beginning of April, examined the impact at the state, national, and occupational level. We estimated that in the shutdown phase alone, up to 53 million US jobs were vulnerable—a term we use to encompass permanent layoffs, temporary furloughs, or reductions in hours and pay.

To get a pulse on consumer sentiment and offline behavior during the coronavirus pandemic, Comscore asked questions relating to this crisis as a part of several of our syndicated surveys.

Today’s parents are ‘rediscovering,’ likely out of necessity, what their parents and grandparents always knew. TV makes a pretty good babysitter for homebound kids. Now several weeks into the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) shutdown in the U.S., a clearer picture is emerging around how “shelter-in-place” orders are affecting the daily lives of American families in local cities across the country—specifically as it relates to their TV appetite, according to a new Nielsen study.

During the first few days of this global COVID-19 pandemic, I attended a virtual meeting with colleagues from different locations across the world. In this meeting, I heard about how local markets like China, Hong Kong, Australia, U.K. and Germany, among others, were tackling the challenges created by the disruption we are currently facing.

Besides its health and economic effects, the COVID-19 pandemic has also triggered a massive spike in firearm and ammunition sales. Skyrocketing to the point that the NRA has successfully lobbied to get gun retailers deemed an ‘essential service’ by the federal government.  It’s obvious that some are forgetting that during this COVID-19 crisis, the best weapon to protect themselves and their family is by simply using soap. Not with guns and ammo. And even though most of us are in isolation, we still shouldn’t distance ourselves from this problem.
