Weekly religious service attenders are the only group to have more rate their mental health as excellent in mid- Nov 2020 than in 2019.

1. Religious attenders are often happier. See https://twitter.com/AndyRowell/status/1300552809092243456?s=20
2. Interesting because many are attending online.
Between June 29 and September 18, about 50% of the churches that the @BarnaGroup surveyed were hosting church services in their usual building. (0% were between March 20 and May 18).

A @pewresearch study shows that 29% of those who could work at home are going back to the office.
100% – 71% = 29%

A study of office space occupancy shows 21% have returned to work. The high of 27% was in October.
Based on those two statistics of about 21-29% of people have returned to their workplaces though they could work at home, I’m guessing that is also about the percentage of people who have returned to attend church in person even though they could attend online.
