Relationship with spouse better now in lockdown, US survey reveals
Americans spending time together
As the coronavirus cases continue to increase in the US, one can assume that the anxiety levels may be soaring among the citizens. However, according to a survey by The University of Southern California, the researchers found out that Americans are actually spending more time with their partners and children than they did earlier.
Americans, who are known for dining out and spending time out in the world, are nowtaking "advantage"of the coronavirus lockdown and rediscovering their hobbies and creative dreams.
A total of 1000 people took part in a survey titled the "Coronavirus Disruption Project". In this online survey, they were questioned about changes in their lives since the onset of the coronavirus.
The relationship between parents and children seems to have improved in a lot of households, for which the researchers give credit to the changed rules such as relaxed bedtime and TV hours.

Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
Talking about improved relationships, almost 35 per cent Americans also said their relationship with their spouse or partner has become better now in the lockdown.
The reason behind this can also be a decrease in the bar activities, leading to drunken nights. The report revealed that out of things that Americans missed, which included visiting friends and relatives, and going out to eat, only 20 per cent Americans missed going to bars. The reduction in the alcohol intake can also be credited to the crashing economy.
As the lockdown has been lifted in certain areas of the country, at least 42 per cent people want to work from home more after the pandemic ends, as they prefer to get rid of their long commutes, and love their relaxed way of dressing rather than the formals.
"For all the silliness, and we probably need a dress etiquette for Zoom... bosses are finding that Zoom works a good chunk of the time," saidJeffrey Cole, the study center's director
More than one-third of Americans reported buying food online for the first time,and 39 per cent intend to continue purchasing more products online once the coronavirus ends.
