A new poll suggests most Americans will be skipping concerts and live sporting events, even after the coronavirus lockdown is lifted. According to a Reuters-Ipsos poll released Tuesday, 55 percent of people say concerts and movie theaters shouldn't open up until a vaccine is ready.  About 40 percent said they'd be willing to go out without a vaccine.

The numbers were even smaller for live sporting events - only 17 percent said they'd be willing to attend one without a vaccine, while nearly 60 percent supported games being played without a live crowd.

Will you be avoiding live events?
