Americans' fear of COVID-19 has dropped to a record low in the latest Gallup poll conducted in March, while satisfaction with the ongoing vaccine rollout has risen dramatically.

Now only 33% of American adults say they are somewhat or very worried about contracting COVID-19. That's down from 50% in February.

Older Americans are least likely to fear contracting the virus, which Gallup notes "*may be tied to the increase in the percentage of Americans who are fully vaccinated."*

Adding, *"Naturally, being vaccinated is associated with lower levels of worry about contracting COVID-19, but this only applies to those who are fully vaccinated. Among those Americans who report having received the full course of the vaccine, 21% are worried about catching COVID-19. But the rate among those only partially vaccinated [defined as receiving only one dose of a two-dose vaccine] is 37%, similar to the national average.*”

Americans who want to get the vaccine but have not been able to yet are the most concerned about catching COVID-19 at 49%, while those who have no plans of getting vaccinated are the least worried at 19%. I am 1 of those people and have been since the start of this VirusCasedemic chaos.

Gallup notes that Americans' views of the Covid-19 situation are growing more optimistic daily. 

Have a healthy day, Keep the Faith!
