COUCH POTATOES: The average Pennsylvanian watched 451 hours of TV during lockdown, according to a survey done by Ezvid Wiki, a video wiki, software and media company. The poll reached out to almost 4,000 Americans and discussed changing habits due to COVID-19 lockdown.

Pennsylvanians shared they have watched, on average, 451 hours of TV during lockdown (roughly 41 hours per week). This compares to 262 hours over a comparable pre-lockdown period.

On average, Pennsylvanians have also been doing 26% less exercise than before the pandemic began, which correlates with the increased TV consumption.

But which part of America, you may wonder, has the squarest eyes? That would be Nevada; its residents watched the most TV of all, clocking up 519 hours, or 47 per week. In fact, that’s nearly 7 hours a day, which is almost like doing it as a full time job. Arkansans clearly had better things to do (though we’re not sure exactly what), as they watched the least; only 336 hours during lockdown.

The USA’s laziest state is Vermont; they are doing 67% less exercise compared to those buff Minnesotans who only do 16% less.

It’s therefore hardly surprising that almost 1 in 5 of those polled (17%) admit to having become addicted to the TV since lockdown. And with so much good stuff to watch — Tiger King, Selling Sunset, Sweet Magnolias — over half of respondents (57%) say they’re going to continue their lifestyle of watching TV most nights, even when things get more back to normal.

Parents have let their children watch more than they were allowed to before; over half (59%) have decided it’s probably easier than trying to stop them fighting with each other / destroying the kitchen / doing their homework… And nearly half of adults (46%) even confess they’ve watched TV during work hours.
