According to a new poll by ABC News/Ipsos, 45 percent of parents across the United States aren't.

Respondents were interviewed on June 10-11, so the feedback is current.

Conversely, 82 percent of respondents said they were willing to go back to work.

• 55% of us are unwilling to go on an airplane
• 61% are unwilling to go to a movie theatre
• 66% are unwilling to go to the gym
