Mobile Phone Data Show More Americans Are Leaving Their Homes, Despite Orders

State leaders are considering reopening economies and allowing people to leave their homes, but more and more Americans appear to be doing so on their own.

Emerging data suggest that though people dramatically altered their habits to stay at home during the first month of America's response to the pandemic, that cooperation has since leveled off and — eventually — decreased. This could point to long-term challenges for state governments asking citizens to cooperate with extended stay-at-home policies.

The data, provided to NPR by a mobile phone location data company called SafeGraph, is based on the locations of about 18 million mobile phones across the country. NPR's analysis determined the percentage of cellphones that did not leave their "home" location daily in every U.S. county.

It’s early on here
After a few more months Americans will go outside and live their lives.

Eventually it will become obvious the MSM and US Government is lying. It’s just that the population is so mind controlled they are slow to awaken. But I have confidence.
