4.22.20: Free your mind.
And the rest will follow.
April 22, 2020.
It’s Wednesday morning. Yesterday, I ended the day’s questions by asking you “what else is on your mind?” I was not prepared for the answers, which included some personal stories (thanks for sharing!), longings for nicer weather (same) and one anonymous user who said “I have a simple mind and it’s clear.”
If only we could all be so lucky.
Many of you also asked for the ability to clarify your answers. I hear you. Feel free to leave those clarifications, along with your question suggestions and other comments, at the end. I really read them all, including the one from an anonymous user who just said “Let’s go Mets!”
But for now, we’ve got 5 more questions. Click on the Let’s Talk button to get started.

Results from April 21, 2020
Question 1: What activities are you doing more often now than you were before the quarantine?
With so many of us watching more TV and movies, we’ll talk about what networks and streaming platforms folks are watching (and what shows & movies folks recommend) in the days ahead.
I’m also so interested in the 2.8% of you who… aren’t doing any of these things? What are you doing? Share your secrets and show us the errors of our ways!
Question 2: How often are you leaving your house each week to do “essential business” like going to work, the grocery store or the pharmacy?
Folks are staying home. I had to go to the grocery store yesterday, and like many of you, I had to stand in a (socially distanced) line just to get in the store.
Question 3: Have you had your hair cut or colored during the quarantine?
This was surprising! I was expecting more quarantine haircuts. My wife cut my hair about two weeks ago, and it turned out… surprisingly okay. I might be due for another this weekend.
But don’t tell Frank, my barber.
I’m apparently not the only one who’s had a good at-home hair experience. Something for the rest of you to consider.
How did it turn out? (for those who reported quarantine haircuts)
Question 4: Based on the information you have today, what is your best guess for when social distancing restrictions are going to loosen?
Our participants are nothing if not optimistic. Over 80% of you think the end of the quarantine is near-ish.
Question 5: How has the spread of the virus impacted your faith or religious beliefs?
Interestingly, the spread of the virus has had little impact on the religious beliefs of our users, with 73% of all participants reporting no change.
Religious, strengthened faith: 22%
Religious, weakened faith: 3%
Not religious, but becoming more religious: 2%
