How do Key Biscayners feel about the virus?

The idea for this survey was simple: it seemed like most people in Key Biscayne were feeling nonchalant about this pandemic. You can’t really trust what you see, though, because the people you see out and about have already made a certain decision.

This survey is not scientific. While there were 768 total responses, no effort was made to avoid anyone keen to take the survey multiple times. The responses are also not a strict representation of Key Biscayne demographics, the most glaring of which is the age range of respondents not directly correlating to the ages of total Key Biscayne residents (eg. in the 2010 census, 25%+ of Key Biscayners were under 18; not so in these responses).

Respondents of survey by age:

0-22
23-32
33-44
45-54
55-64
65+

With that out of the way, it does tell us a little something about what ~700+ Key Biscayners (non-KBers were pruned from these results) who are willing to respond to a survey feel about the current situation.

This survey was conducted between May 14th and May 20th 2020.
