Standard errors in parentheses.
All regressions include (log) population density as an additional control.
Columns (1) and (2) include controls for the percent of county population over age 65
and the number of COVID-19 cases.
Cases/pop. is the number of cases per 1,000 of county population.
Regressions 3, 4, and 5 are also analytically weighted by the total pop. and clustered by state.
