Re: U.S. Census Bureau Survey

@Mz iMac   If that was a dig to my question this is what my e-mail said:

 

U.S. Census Bureau<covid.survey@census.gov>

If I get one it's going in the trash.

Re: U.S. Census Bureau Survey

@grandma2pkmh  Not a dig.  You did say you checked to verify if legit.  I could not find a "Covid Survey" on the list.

Re: U.S. Census Bureau Survey

I believe participation is voluntary for those surveys.  I kept getting pesky calls from the census workers and they wouldn’t identify the purpose of the call.  My census was completed online.

In response to the unprecedented circumstances presented by COVID-19 and the urgent need for data, the U.S. Census Bureau is launching two new experimental surveys to measure temporal social and economic trends in the nation’s small businesses and households.

Re: U.S. Census Bureau Survey

I got a survey similar to that with questions like 'do have enough to eat', 'are you depressed'. do you feel hopeless' from the city I live in.  It also came by e-mail.

I don't care what it's called. AFAIC, it's "Big Brother with Knobs On."

Sounds like some of the same questions included in the multipage questionaire I have to fill out every year before my annual physical. Also includes questions like "do you ever hear voices when no one is there", "do you ever feel someone is trying to hurt you". I might not have the exact same words but that's the jist of it".

Re: U.S. Census Bureau Survey

If I got one I wouldn't even bother open it and it would be deleted.

 

I filled the original Census on line and don't remember if I had to give them an e-mail address or not.

It may have been similar but it was directly related to Covid.  The city was trying to identify people who were alone and needed help.  This was at the very beginning.
