The research demonstrated that a strong majority of Americans (65%) say that the coronavirus pandemic has made them realize the importance of sharing important info with family and that planning for the future is more important than ever (64%). Half (50%) stated that COVID-19 has made them realize how unprepared they were for a serious emergency. These sentiments are especially strong among Millennials (born 1980-1996) and GenXers (born 1965-1979), those with children, men more so than women, and northeasterners and southerners (corresponding to regions with COVID hotspots).
