This chart reflects responses to question #28 from the Winter 2020 survey, which asked respondents, “If you and members of your COVID-19 household are working or schooling remotely, do you have to share and/or take turns using various devices, internet access, or workspaces?” The options available were, “Yes, we take turns using the internet.”; “Yes, we are scheduling/sharing computers, laptops, or tablets”; “Yes, we are scheduling use of or sharing office space.”; “No, everyone has their own technology and space”; “It varied from day to day”; “I lived” and “No one is working or schooling remotely during COVID-19.”
