Critical Commentary
This chart reflects responses to Question #23 from the Winter 2020 survey, which asked “Does anyone in your household use a medical device that is powered by electricity?” This was a check-all-that-apply question, and there were 82 responses. The options for this question were as follows:
Yes, the device is exclusively powered by being connected to an outlet
Yes, the device is able to run on its own for extended periods of time
Yes, but the device is not needed on a daily basis
No, no one in the house needs an electrically-powered device
The most common response was “No, no one in the house needs an electrically-powered device”, with 56 individuals selecting this option, followed by “Yes, the device is exclusively powered by being connected to an outlet”, with 22 individuals selecting this option. Four individuals chose “Yes, the device is able to run on its own for extended periods of time”, and two individuals chose “Yes, but the device is not needed on a daily basis”. It’s important to note that some individuals selected multiple options in their response.
The data was produced by the Shifting Energy Demands in COVID-19 Survey - Overview, which was administered to 83 people over a fourteen week period between December 2020 and March 2021.
