WASHINGTON - More than three in four Americans say they are very confident or somewhat confident in the U.S. federal government's ability to handle a coronavirus outbreak, a Gallup poll has found, a higher level of confidence than in previous health scares.
About 31% of respondents said they were very confident and 46% said they were somewhat confident in the federal government's ability to handle an outbreak, while 22% said they were not too confident or not confident at all. China reported on Thursday a dramatic drop in coronavirus cases, but scientists said the virus could be spread more easily than previously thought by patients who are not showing any symptoms.
Two-thirds of Americans anticipate the global outbreak will hit the world economy. About 16 percent of respondents believe it will have a"very negative" impact, while 49% expect a"somewhat negative impact, with 34% anticipating none.
