An international study, published by the company "Kexst-CNC", stated yesterday that the support of governments in managing their response to the emerging corona virus crisis is dwindling in many countries, such as the United Kingdom, the United States and Japan.
The study, which was conducted in six countries (France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, the United States and Sweden), showed this decrease, compared to June.
In the UK, only 35% of those surveyed expressed support for government action, three points less than in June.
The percentage of government support in the United States also decreased with 44%, who expressed their dissatisfaction (compared to 40% in mid-June), or in Japan, where more than one person among two respondents believed (51% compared to 50%) The authorities are managing the crisis poorly. While the French expressed more satisfaction (+6 points) with the work of the government, although they remained generally dissatisfied by 41%.
The study also reveals widespread public support for the muzzle situation.
73% of the French considered that it should be compulsory in closed public places, compared to 68% of the Japanese and 65% of the British.
In the United States, 63% of respondents support the placement of the mask. Sweden alone is an exception on this topic (37%), with masks almost absent from public places. The survey also included the population's view of the epidemic compared to reality. Everywhere, residents seem to overestimate the scale of the epidemic. Thus, according to British participants, 22% of the population was infected with the Coruna virus.
While Americans estimate the proportion of the infected population at 20%.
In Germany, for example, survey respondents estimate the death toll among the population at 3%, 300 times more than the reality.
The residents of the six countries being interviewed share the view that they fear a second wave of the epidemic.
