Context: I feel anxious at the moment - this anxiety is coming from a place of fear and uncertainty. I am fearful that people I know will get the virus and becone ill. I am uncertain as to how long the lockdown situation will continue for, and the longer term effects on the economy etc. I feel helpless as thete is little I can do to affect positive change. I also feel sadness when I consider the sheer number of deaths. I think we all just want to go back to normal now, we just don't know what the future holds. I think I am getting increasingly frustrated with people who are not following the rules of lockdown and social distancing and isolation- they are causing deaths every day. I think there is now a distrust of others because of this - this virus has bought out the worst in people.

Context: very worried about my family health, especially my children. I still have to go to work and face numerous customers face to face daily in an office and it worries me sick I could bring it home and pass to my children. I have just seen that Boris Johnson is now in intensive care which makes you think if he can be in this position than anybody can end up in this condition. I am losing sleep each night , waking up worried , I suffered my first anxiety attack of my life as I am constantly on edge. Also worry about my childrens mental health being stuck in the house for so long and I take them out very early in the morning for a walk in the hope that we do not encounter other people whilst out.

Context:
At this moment I am anxious because we are exiting lockdown and when economy reopens covid will again spread to high levels of cases as has been proven to do before. There are new strain cases and no new guidelines for schools etc (my son is 5 and can still cuddle ALL his classmates). I feel there are too many of the public not adhering to the rules put in place to keep others and self safe. Schools run a major risk of transmitting virus as simply can't implement the safety needed, its nurseries and younger years having case loads. Cant expect older children and teens not to socialise closely either, its unrealistic. In my opinion there should be a lockdown style approach until everyone is vaccinated even if it takes a couple of years. Wellbeing may be affected but we are in a PANDEMIC so sacrifices for the long run need to be made. Going in and out of lockdowns with mass deaths and cases per time isn't doing any good. Problem with the UK is compliance, government don't know how to enforce as public have zero respect.
Since the beginning and even now I was/disinfect products from shops, limit my outings to places like the shops (deliveries instead), have not seen friends and family properly in over a year, take my son to outdoor parks/public areas, my son doesn't get to play after school with anyone.. we do everything more than by the book to stay safe as son has asthma and I'm a smoker so our lungs not the best. Whats the point when half the public not even bothering and the government can't wait to reopen everywhere and end up back to square one? Thats where I'm at.

Context:
I am very excited and hopeful about things opening up.  I feel it is almost possible to make plans in the future.  I feel confident in allowing my child back to school although I would prefer that children did not have to wear masks in the classroom.

I am very excited about having my vaccine and i check most days if I am eligible yet.

However I am shocked that this has happened and feel that it was handled very badly by the Government.  I am particularly cross about money being made by friends of Ministers.  I think a lot of very bad decisions were made last year, although this year has been better.

Context: I feel frustrated that this situation has caused us all to have to sacrifice our freedom in only being able to leave home under certain circumstances. I also feel very anxious about my future job security and anticipate long term economic affects from this situation. I feel more concerned about that than I do the health implications of Coronavirus, although I am concerned about contracting the virus and passing it onto my wife, who's health I am worried about more than my own. I also feel quite frustrated at not being able to see my relatives.

Context:
Completely fed up with the whole situation and feel that it could of been avoided by China.
If they had closed their borders and stopped all travel to and from the country there would be no problem, but instead they were bad at handling the situation and now everyone has to suffer.
There always seems to be a problem with virus's coming out of countrys like that so maybe they should be held accountable for all the issues people have faced due to this.
It has made the whole world panic and have to adjust to being stuck at home all the time and even people have lost jobs due to this.

Context:
I feel a bit anxious about the Covid situation. My wedding in September last year had to be rearranged, so I am nervous this will happen again.
I am also nervous for my family's and friend's health. I have had two family members die during the Covid pandemic and neither from Covid, but one due to mental health issues. It worries me that if this carries on much longer then people will feel more and more under strain
Funnily enough, I have actually benefited from some aspects of the pandemic, I have been able to do overtime and save enough to buy a house

Context:
As a final year university student, I'm very sad to have missed the end of my degree, will miss graduation, will miss saying goodbye to many friends + the ongoing uncertainty of when things will go back to 'normal' and if I'll be able to reorganise things. Naturally, at this time of year would be sat indoors revising and working anyway, but with everything feeling like its been paused, it's very difficult to continue with the same motivation. Personally, I feel safe but am very angry seeing the disregard and disrespect from so many that are making this last longer than it needs to.

Also - KCL forever. UCL is a poly xx

Context: I am very worried about the corona virus in particular for my 87 year old mom  son who has immune deficiency due to chemo last year future daughter in law who is a nurse and my daughter who is still working and taking 999 calls. My anxiety levels are very high and am waking up early and working harder to try and take my mind off it. I feel great sadness and have cried at the death toll . One of my sons friend dad who has cancer has died from the corona virus and a local teacher. I just wish things could go back to normal.

Context:
I think the government should have put precautions in place much earlier to avoid the current situation in the UK.
I do miss my friends and family and get so anxious with isolation in general so this is really damaging my mental health.
It's scary and I just want the nightmare to be over so I can go back outside and be happy again.
My boyfriend lives in The Netherlands and it's so hard having the restrictions with flights etc. as he makes me happy but I understand why they have been put in place.
At the end of the day, everyone should be trying to keep eachother safe and limit the death toll as much as possible.

Context: I think things are improving in the UK. However I am fearful that I might get infected and pass it on to those that I live with. I also worry that lockdown will last for ever and I'll never see the sea or my friends again. You get your hopes up and then something on the news takes it away again. I have trouble sleeping. My world has shrunk to the size of a pea and I can no longer hug anyone. It's the uncertainty that is also getting to me. When will it end? I am very tired and sleep deprived. If it wasn't for my garden it would be impossible to cope.

Context:
I am worried about more vulnerable members of my family getting the virus and becoming seriously unwell with it. I am also anxious about family members who I can’t see at the moment.

I am worried about my job as I work with vulnerable families and I am currently working remotely which means that they have less support.

I am anxious about going out now due to the risk of coming into contact with the virus. I feel that some people are not following the restrictions which makes me feel worried.

Context: Worry and fear for my own and my family’s health. I have underpaying health conditions so I am scared. Anger that not everyone is following the rules, my family and I are following the rules and other people continue to visit family and friends and go out and about . Happiness that I am at home with my family and get to spend time with the people I love. I feel worry and stress that my financial situation could change is my work has to close permanently  or if my job gets furloughed as I can’t not afford as a single parent to loose any income.

Context: im worried about the amount of people who will get it. also worried about myself and fanily being affected. the lockdown is also very boring and its hard to find things to do. the longer it goes on the more boring it will be, but its important to protect everyone. i also hope the ecomomey can recover very quickly afterwords and that too many people dont suffer as a result. its a very trying and difficult time for everyone. i just hope that everything turns out ok and it doesnt drag on for ages and ages

Context: I am really concerned that someone in my close family (particulalry my elderly parents and parents in law and my young children) will be impacted significantly by the coronavirus.  I'm equally worried about the economic impact a lockdown will have and the impact that may have upon my job security - should I lose my job then I would have significant difficulty meeting financial obligations.  I feel sad that, as a community, we have been diustanced from each other - though there are some positives in the fact people have found alternative ways to communicate despite this.

Context: I’m concerned about how long we will remain distanced from our friends and family and normal everyday life. It’s particularly hard going being in lockdown with a 2 year old. I hope people continue to respect the social distancing rules so that the freedom to go out to exercise isn’t ruined for everybody. I think that if that right was taken away from us then I would struggle immensely with the situation. I would feel incredibly trapped and both my mental and physical health and that of my family would suffer.

Context: I feel quite anxious about how little we know about what is coming. Additionally, telling myself to not be anxious usually results in me becoming more anxious, which is what has been happening. However, I've also luckily still got my job as I can work remotely, which is very reassuring. I have been trying to maintain the social distancing rules set by the government, which does mean I have a lot more free time than usual. I need to start exercising more, so that has been on my mind recently. Taking walks relaxes me and really helps, but it's very difficult to motivate myself to leave my room sometimes, which can make me feel even worse.

Context: scared more for the health of my elderly parents than my own, slightly worried and anxious about the situation and being locked down doesn't help, making things worse is the fact our prime minister is unwell in hospital from corona virus, hoping the social distancing and restrictions don't go on to long but understand if they have to, the financial knock on its likely to last in the UK for a long time, right now I am honouring the rules and feel optimistic that me doing that will decrease my chances in catching the virus

Context:
I am worried that we are opeining up too soon but at the same time, know that we need to get back to some sort of normality, It still angers me that people are not taking this seriously and that so many people are stull dying and will die. I am worried about my children who are not of an age to be vaccinated, that they will suffer from the talks of the proposed vaccination passports and will miss out. I wish we didn't have the need for them
I'm finding it hard to imagine going back to normal life - will I be anxious about going to a gig, to a football match? Will we forget as soon as things are open that this is how we lived for a year?

Context: Sometimes I feel quite calm because I am isolating/quarantining at home and I am used to being at home quite a lot due to being a student with low contact hours. I also have a lot of university work to keep my mind occupied. However, I am finding it hard to concentrate and get motivation to do my studying. I try to avoid too much exposure to information/news etc about the Corona Virus, but deep down I am worried when I see the daily death numbers increasing in the UK. I worry that even a short trip to the supermarket could result in myself or a family member catching it and possibly becoming seriously ill. Everything is very unknown at the moment and even the government are unsure about how long this will last. I am glad that the government are putting stricter measures in to enforce lockdown and social distancing, but news reports don't seem to indicate that this is working yet. I fear that people will stop isolating as time goes on and they become more fed up with being at home all the time.

Context: Anxious in case i catch it. Anxious in catch a loved one catchs it and dies. Concerned how the economy will change, and how it will affect my future. it will change my fincial future. worried about children future and education. My child will be behind in his education conpared to other children. my fincial and job will not be secure. worried about when life will go back to normal. feel sad and depressed. no urge to meet others and go outside. stay in the house all day and feel tired. not happy and dont see any future. depressed.

Context:
I feel quite relaxed and secure regarding my personal situation but my anxiety stems from my partner losing his job as the company he works for has filed for bankruptcy and also I feel that there is a minority of people who are not paying enough attention to the social distancing recommendations and staying at home unless it is essential they leave their homes.
Also at the moment, no one in my close family or friends has suffered any severe effects of Coronavirus so I do not (yet) feel personally affected by it.  I am doing all I can though to socially distance myself from everyone outside of my household which only includes myself and my partner.

Context: I have been furloughed from today due to corona. It’s disappointing that people aren’t following social distancing rules either impacting everyone’s potential freedom during the lockdown. My partner is working from home and I’m looking after our 13 month old son but I have to go out to get groceries. It makes me anxious going shopping and potentially bringing something back to infect my family. I’m disappointed with the Chinese cover up and how they have no respect for life at all and carry on eating the weird and wonderful. I hope governments across the world impose sanctions on them for literally ruining many people’s lives.

Context:
The future is extremely uncertain and nobody knows how long this crisis will last for. I am really anxious and somewhat fear for the future, many opportunities have been ruinied for me because of this pandemic and as a result I am no longer as confident or less stressed as I was before this crisis.
I fear for the lives of many loved ones around me, knowing that it takes just one person to be infected to be able to infect an netire household really scares me. If a patient in a hospice or retirement home get infected, it is extremely likely that everyone in the entire building would be infected, which is extremely lethal for the old and others who have pre-existing diseases.

Context: The whole situation makes me very anxious. I do not believe, as a country, we are doing everything to prevent the spread. I believe we should be in a full and proper lockdown like other countries. I fear for my children and their futures. My son is 4 and just about understands school is closed and we aren't allowed out and we cant see family and friends. My husband has been furloughed and that worries me as we're not in control of things. I hate going to the supermarket because there's always a minority of people who wont or dont socially distance themselves.

Context: I think its very saddening. I feel for all the families who have lost someone close to them. I think people should take this situation more seriously and start actually following the rules by not going out, unless essential like buying groceries or going to work. I'm very thankful to the  nhs and everyone is helping with this crisis. Hoerver, I understand there has been a lot of pressure on the nhs but I think there should be more testing in the uk. Because there are many many people out there who possible have the corona virus but are still waiting to be tested. I think this is worsening the covid crisis as its a lot more likely that the disease can spread to others. And since self isolation is advised its also likely that people will spread the virus to other people within their household. I am really hoping this will come to an end  soon.

Context: I feel that its sadly gone on for too long shot he economical aspect is ruined as well as peoples mental health. If the giv locked down sooner this would have been avoided. I have had covid, and a lot of my friends have had covid and as worrying as it may seem I believe the media is scaremongering and making people scared and worried. I am not saying its jot real because it certainly is, but i think personally the government are blaming this on the public to hide the fact they know they messed up from the start

Context: I am anxious as to how the symptoms would present for myself, my friends and family as no one really knows the level of severity you would experience until you get it. I am relieved there has been a drop in deaths today however there are many more days to come and we must not be complacent. I worry about my husband who still has to go out to work. I am angry at those people who choose not to follow social distancing instructions. I am happy myself and my children and wider family are currently safe.

Context: The corona situation has made me realise how unfair the system in the UK is. From cleaners and other small workers in stadiums having to take a pay cut whilst footballers earn much than their annual in one week, to NHS workers having a shortage of test kits for the staff as well as the general public yet celebrities are testing 24/7 as if it is nothing. The sense of priorities within this country is highly unethical as it does not care about the majority but rather than the happiness of an elite minority.

Context:
At the moment I’m feeling nervous about coming out of lockdown. Like others I have got used to working from home and not going out and need to get used to going out again which makes me anxious.
I also feel relieved that vaccines are being rolled out, family members have been vaccinated. The number of cases and deaths are going down which is promising. Shows that there might be light at the end of the tunnel and the end in sight.
It also makes me nervous if we need to have another lockdown in future. I think like a lot of people each lockdown is harder to do- the current one was the hardest! Especially in January when it’s dark all the time

Context:
Feels like we've reacted very late to things, now that measures are in place people are not taking them seriously , groups of people still walking around parks.

Also not sure for how long people can stay in lockdown before restlessness and people just start to do whatever they want as staying indoors for months on end seems very unlikely.

2 Year university student aswell, not too sure what's going to happen for the few months that are missed within the year, can mess up future plans for summer, throw off any kind of routinely family visit

Context: I am worried as don’t know when this will end and when it does end what the world will look like. I find it upsetting that people aren’t following the rules and are being selfish. I am also worried about the economy and jobs once this is over. I am finding this situation quite unsettling but I know that my situation is not as bad as many others and I am glad that my family and friends are all safe currently. although I am making an effort to connect with loved ones but it is not the same when you cannot be with them in person and many of our conversations revolve around the virus which is stress inducing itself.


Context: I feel very worried and scared that it might take a long time for life to get back to normal. I'm wanting to try out new experiences such as food but I am unable to do so because nowhere is open. I've enjoyed my time at home but it's getting boring very quickly and it's the same old thing every day. It's been super stressful as the supermarkets here have massive ques outside of them so just to get basic necessities is a  big pain. The number of cases is only rising which is super scary to me, there are a number of people in my area who have the virus which again gives me more anxiety

Context:
i am worried about my family, and not being able to see them as much as i would like.
apart from contacting them through phone calls and video calls i rarely see them at the moment.
my workplace is exercising extreme social distancing measures so i feel comfortable going there, and my wages haven't been affected so i'm okay with this situation.
I feel anxious about people standing too close to me in shops though but i do try shop in the 'vunerable hours' due to having Multiple sclerosis.
the distancing measures in shops is excellent if people would actually adhere to them, one way systems are great too,

Context: I am a little bit anxious as I am working from home, but I do not feel like I am being disciplined or productive enough. However I am quarantining with my partner. I am going to be moving into his place in September so this has been a good test. Fortunately it has been going really well, despite the fact that his flat is not very big. As he normally works away during the week it has been nice to spend so much time together. Apart from that I would consider myself to be coping pretty well with quarantine. I feel like I am suffering from some boredom like everyone else, but appreciate being able to commit properly to my running and exercise program. I now know someone who has died from coronavirus so I am still saddened by that, but overall am not overly concerned about the risk to myself as we are sticking to the government recommendations regarding self isolation.

Context:
I spend too much time worrying so much about life in general, let alone since COVID-19 came to light.

Sometimes, I worry so much I feel as though I’m going to have a panic attack and it’s terrifying. I am constantly thinking about “what ifs” and they usually involve situations such as me losing a family member or my daughter growing up without me. Even just typing this I feel sick to my stomach. I know there’s not much I can do about the future but it is constantly on my mind; how to prevent things from happening but there’s only so much we can do, I know that but it’s still scary.

Context: Fearful more for my elderly parents than myself...hoping everyone comes out safe. I feel anxious as I dont know about the future. I also find taking each day as it comes helps. These things are put of my control so i will live life with the flow. I worry for my children and hope they stay safe.,, I try not to overthink things because I don't want to worry about the future which is not in my hands. I worry about the Peak in terms of the number of deaths I also worry about out the financial strain on households

Context:
Fearful about the easing of lockdown in case cases rise and we have to lockdown again.
Still worried that someone I love will get sick but trying to keep the odds in perspective
Hoping that the government stick to their promise of 'data not dates'
Wondering when it will all be over and we can live normal lives again.
Sick of hearing about the vaccine. Will not be having it but wonder how that will affect my freedom.
Angry about the possibility of 'immunity passports'
Worried that masks will become the norm - hate faceless people

Context: It just all so stressful. The virus fallout has disrupted my life, I'm out of pocket & have rent arrears. Getting normal supplies/groceries is a near constant frazzling battle. I'm quite worried about how to resolve these problems, especially as I'm unlikely to get a better-paid job now. I live with my disabled mother who's over 60 so that's another cause for concern for me. On a bigger scale, the global death toll is so saddening. The amount of lives & jobs & families & businesses it's disrupted is astonishing. It makes me frustrated, concerned, unhappy, and exasperated in equal measure.

Context: I am so fed up now i have been home for a year, i have left my home four times all to go doctors or get vacine, I am worried that we will get different strains and just keep getting vaccines over and over, mental health suffering missing family. Dont want to sound pessamistic so looking forwrd to my daughter visiting in garden soon. I am hoping in summer we can have some sort of normality back even if social distincing is still in place. Its good that children going back to schools as they are suffering and care homes can get visitors. But im worried still lets hope this is the last lockdown.

Context:
Very anxious and fearful.
I think it’s mainly the fear of the unknown. Will I catch it? Will I die? How long will it go on for.
There’s so many unknowns
Very worried for my family members and then my child. She’s the reason we’ve been isolating for the last 3 weeks, to protect her
It worries me like mad when my husband has to work, as he’s in and out of people’s houses fixing boilers. We’re being very cautious and just taking each day as it comes.
Hopefully people will listen and stay at home, although we did just go for our daily walk and see a group of teenagers playing football.

Context: Feeling trapped within the house, anxious and irritable. Fear fueled by the news. No end in sight. Conflicting information form the government and a constant list of government advisors in the media. Feel like health is suffering, can't get teeth checked. For situation means not able to shop for the healthiest diet. Exercise is severely limited. House is dark and am desperate for fresh air. Not able to see my family or friends. The children are struggling not been able to see their friends. Money worries and the future is not available to view.

Context: I am not worried for my own health but I do worry about my family especially my elderly parents who live far away and do not have much local support.  I am concerned for my financial situation. I have been made redundant so will soon have no income and my husband is on 80% pay, so I worry about us getting into debt.  I also worry about trying to get a new job as many people will be in the same situation.  I mostly feel calm, but sometimes worried and anxious, I also find I am waking up in the night most nights.

Context:
I am hopeful that the vaccine will help to bring back normality, but I am also worried that sending children back to school next week will start another wave of the virus, as numbers of infected people are still quite high.
I hope that I can see my family again soon. It has been a tough year for us all. Five loved ones have died, and a new baby has been born. We have not been able to either mourn the loses or celebrate the new baby. It has been a time of mixed emotions for us all and we need to know that we can come together some time soon to support each other.

Context: I'm excited that things are slowly getting better. I'm happy that I've had the vaccine and things are looking more hopeful. I'm really excited for things to get back to normal and for life to get so much better. I'm scared that it's never going to go away and sad at how much valuable time with friends and family has been taken away from me because of the virus. Plans for the future, because of the vaccine, are starting to appear and that gives me so much motivation and positivity to keep pushing through.

Context: I feel hopeful for what the future holds, currently the situation is not very good and I feel very sorry for everyone affected, We need to realise this is a small blip in our lives and we can get through this. The majority of people are sensible but the few who are breaking rules continue to extend the length of the lock down we have. Everything will be okay in the end but the catastrophic consequences of how poorly this disease has been managed has resulted in lots of unnecessary suffering. We will come out stronger

Context: I feel anxious for how things are going to progress over the next few months, what it will mean to my changing work situation and how that will change, and when I will be able to see my family next. Everyone seems to think in June everything will suddenly go completely back to normal and I don't think that will be the case. I am a little sad as I have so many friends I wish I could see, some who have had babies during lockdown I have been unable to meet so far. I am quite relaxed as I am good at staying at home but I miss seeing friends and family whenever I want. I also wonder when I will be able to get the vaccine.

Context:
Currently I have an array of emotion. I feel anxious and fearful for the future it is likely that me and my partner (who both work for the same company) will be furloughed, my partner earns considerably more than me and with the government cap at 2,500 before tax I don’t know how we’re going to cope. We have no savings and whilst I agree our combined earnings were more than perhaps some of my family and friends it was in no way above the national average and our our goings for bills is quite high. I’m also fearful we will end up losing our jobs and with the country on its knees economically I can’t see getting another job as an easy task.

I am sad as I miss my two young nieces immensely, we would look after them fortnightly whilst my sister worked and I miss them so much. At that age they change so quickly.

I am content that currently we have a nice house for me and my partner and my son to shelter in and that we have each other with no health issues yet but I feel guilt for feeling this when I do because of all the pain others are experiencing. I feel useless that I should be doing more to make a difference when it comes to my grandchildren one day asking me what I did I’ll only be able to answer stay inside.

I feel fearful that we may catch the virus I get extreme anxiety food shopping it reminds me of an apocalypse.

I have hope when I see people coming together and helping to best this disease from nurses to food delivery drivers and I am immensely proud of my country. As you can see a whole rainbow of emotions.

Context: Very stressed and tense, working from home I have no boundaries or switch off. I am struggling to parent, school and work effectively, I am overly offended and upset. The slightest trigger keeps me awake worrying. I don’t go out, I don’t go for walks, I have no privacy or peace. I just repeat the same day over and over until I can’t sleep at night. I am under exercises and overeating. I need a break, a change of scenery and a change of pace. My son has lost a year of developing with kids his own age and learning, he misses his friends and is stuck with adults all the time.

Context: At the beginning I didn’t think that much of the virus. But once it spread to our country and there was people passing away this is when I started to feel worried. This has now made me make sure me and my family our safe. We are washing hands and not having personal contact with others, to minimise the risk of my family being infected. This should hopefully work. If the virus had not spread to the UK. I probably would not be worried about having contact with other people. I have always had the same hand hygiene. So this would not change much. But I have definitely washed my hands more often. And made sure I wash them to the best of my ability.

Context:
I feel anxious about the situation, normal life has been completely disrupted, finances are up in the air and no one knows if and when things will return to normal.

Added to this people, of all ages are dying suddenly from such a horrible virus. The virus doesn't discriminate or care and there is very little, it seems, we can do to prevent or recover from this illness.

I feel nervous about how long this will go on for, what the future will be like and how both mine and my partner's professions will recover following this. I am also nervous about my health and the health of my friends, families and colleagues.

Context: I feel trapped.  I haven't been out of the house since Friday afternoon.  I am working from home.  I want to go out for a walk but get anxious about the thought of it.  So I stay in doors. The days are just rolling into one.  I am happy on the whole but the want and need to go out is overwhelming sometimes.  I feel like every day is wasted.  The news is draining.  I try not watch.  Just want to do the time and get it all over with so I am just staying home and getting on with is.  Like a prisoner doing their time.

Context:
I feel like it is under control and that the correct measures have been put in place by the government. Although the social distancing measures are annoying, it will be worth it as it will reduce the number of new cases and means life can get back to normal quicker. Staying at home is getting boring although allows time to develop as a person such as; doing more exercise, learning a new skill.

I am annoyed at people ignoring the social distancing measures as it is selfish and annoying for the people who listen to the rules. If everyone stayed at home we could deal with covid quicker.

Context: I feel like people are not taking it seriously enough and as a result are not abiding to reccomendations like they should. I feel like there is a lot of people passing away that could have been prevented and additionally China are hiding information from us and should be punished as a result. It will be interesting to see what happens the months following on from Corona and how the country and world will change as a result from it. I have enjoyed the time off though and people should take the postives from it rather than only looking at the negatives

Context:
I'm scared for my family, my friends, for my job. For my self-worth and those of others around me. Scared my company will go under. Angry that not enough has been done to keep peeople safe. Furious that NHS workers are like lambs to the slaughter.
Worried I'm not doing enough. Concerned that my allergies are the virus taking hold, but knowing this is irrational.
Will I ever see my parents or grandparents again? Will the virus take someone that I love?
When will I go back to work> Will I have a job that i can go back to? Am I being selfish>

Context: This situation makes me feel very anxious as I am looking after my elderly and vulnerable father who lives independently but needs care as he is shielding. I am not anxious for myself, just the fact that I could pass this on to him and others. I also worry for my sister who is on the front line within the NHS and is still awaiting appropriate PPE and to be tested. I am also concerned about our economic future as a country and wonder how this will affect us long term in terms of job security. Another anxiety of mine is the children who are vulnerable at home.

Context:
I’m very anxious about the situation. Boris has just been sent into intenseive care which has worried me more. I hate not having a normal life. I hate being stuck at home not being able to do my
Job, or go into a coffee shop just because I wanted to. I miss seeing friends and family when I want. It’s all very frustrating. I’m lucky I have a girlfriend and cat I live with, as they are good company. But everything is a lot more intense than they usually would be. I hope things go back to normal sooner rather than later.

Context:
I am due to give birth in two months and am very scared that this means that I will no longer be allowed my partner and mum with me. I also worry about the lack of support when my baby is born, and even now as J go through my pregnancy. I am worried for my vulnerable and elderly friends and family and work is very stressful due to the situation.
I am angry at people ignoring the stay at home orders and concerned that this this mean that this isolation will have to go on longer.
I feel really sad for those who are financially affected by this pandemic.

Context: I am concerned by the level that people are not following the guidelines. I am disgusted by yesterday's events from both Nicola Sturgeon and the ex CMO Catherine Calderwood, this was no mistake this twice blatantly flouting the rules,. Now many people in Scotland thinks it is all a hoax. So am anxious as this will prolong the mess now. It is bad enough getting people to be sensible without the so called medical expert being a complete two weekends in the running especially as i live in Fife just along the road from her so called holiday home. She should be fined not warned, the police messed up, shpws one law for them and one law for us

Context:
At the moment I feel very sad about the Pandemic. I am sad that I can't see my friends and my family and I can't embark on new adventures. I am anxious about my future and what lies ahead. I am concerned with the welfare of friends and family.

I feel anxious with my work situation because I was working abroad and now I am back in the UK living with my mother which I haven't done for 12 years since I was a teenager!

I also feel trapped because we are unable to travel, go out and enjoy life, however I feel a little peace as I am able to enjoy doing things for myself such as read and fitness and get in to a good routine.

I worry about work because it is hard to do without being in an office with people and I miss the comaraderie but it has also made me realise that actually I don't really like my job and I would like to do something different now (career change?) which is a great realisation.

Context: Anxious that I might catch it, anxious that someone I love might catch it. Anxious about how dangerous it can be and what the possible outcomes are as well as the worry over the practicalities of going to hospital when you can't be visited. Stressed by the social distancing measures and how people don't stay far enough away when you go out. Unsettled by the lack of firm plan for the future and the uncertainty for my employment and that of my partner.  Worried by the long weekend and how we can keep ourselves entertained if we're unable to go out of the house.

Context:
I no longer feel that anxious about what harm the virus may do. I am now more anxious about what the world will look like going forward and a bit worried that it seems to be dragging on and on. But all in all I'm happy/relieved that the world is not ending like some were saying early last year.

 I am also relieved as my biggest concern when all this started was for my elderly relatives and thankfully none of them have succumbed to Covid.

I am eager to resume my pre Covid life as soon as possible.

Context:
At this current moment i am mostly worried about the corona virus affecting my friends and family who are more vulnerable to the disease.

I am also slightly upset at the negative effects the disease has had on my time at university and how it has affected my education but i do understand the seriousness of the situation and that the calls made are justified.

I am slightly stressed out in the current situation due to the limiting effect that it has had on my daily routine but i am also enjoying the time i have at home with my family memebers.


Context: Scared angry worried and anxious about corona virus I feel helpless and that it is out of control. Feels like there's no hope left and full of despair and anxiousness about the future and what is going to happen. Feel sorry for all lives lost and worried about more deaths. Feeling optimistic about the vaccine and that it will save many lives and hopefully bring back a bit of normality to everyday living. Feel like the government have not done enough to save lives and that there is much more that could have been done.

Context: I'm genuinely petrified about what the Coronavirus means for me and my family. I'm scared of catching it, but there's also a small part of me that's scared of NOT catching it - I know that if I don't catch it, this crippling fear will continue to live with me until I do. I'm also ashamed that some of my family seem to think the rules don't apply to them, because they're putting themselves, and me, at risk. I'm concerned by how long the lockdown will last for - I understand it's essential and personally have no issues with it, but I think the longer it lasts the less others will comply with it.

Context: The situation brings about a lot of uncertainty which naturally raises fear as we do not know how the future looks like. I am grateful I still have my income, the lockdown situation has helped me save money which makes me happy. However I am concerned for those families who do not have an income or the support they need. It has raised some feelings of anxiety in terms of the precautions which have to be taken when going outdoors. It is scary how fast the situation can change and seeing the news be about nothing but coronavirus.

Context:
I feel fine I’m not worried no one I know is worried the situation is a joke to be honest. I’ve been happy at home and home schooling has on the whole been great teaching my daughter. Closing the world and destroying the economy for something that’s 99.% recoverable it’s a joke the economy needs to open up.

No one I know has had it or died from it all it is flu just renamed exagurated figures to make covid seem worse than it actually is. I won’t be having the vaccine and no one in my family will either.

Context:
I feel that getting everyone vaccinated is paramount now, and that governments need to cooperate to make medicines available to all.  Locally, there is a low rate of coronavirus at the moment but I also feel there is a lot of complacency which makes further outbreaks inevitable.

I feel that the UK situation as a whole is improving but considering it has been dire for the last few months it's not a great improvement.

I am still afraid for myself and my family, I think the government needs to do more to support people and businesses.

Context:
I am scared and worried. I am a key worker in retail and in the front line serving and touching people all day. I am scared of getting covid 19 from someone and as I’m 51 and my partner 56 it could be risky.
I’m scared of customers getting abusive if they can’t get the goods they need or they have to queue.
I’m scared of having to go off sick and not being able to afford my bills.
I miss my mum and siblings and niece and nephews as I can’t see them.
I miss being able to go out for a meal or drinks when I want.
I’m scared of anything happening to my loved ones.
I just want life to go back to normal.

Context:
I feel ok but just really bored. Want to go out with friends and family. I feel scared for me and my loved ones and just want it to al be over. I wish everyone would stay safe and follow government guide lines to make sure everyone is safe including their own families. I also miss going to work as the people I work with really are fun compared to Skyping everyday. I’m sick of the conversations as they all seem to revolve around the virus and the impacts on daily lives.
I’m also concerned about the future, I’m thinking that as we have all been about to work effectively from home, this will become the normal

Context: I am very anxious about how Coronavirus is going to leave our country. I am worried as i have some vulnerable members of the family. I also fear when my mum leaves for work as she works in a pharmacy and is dealing with ill people everyday even if they are after some paracetamol or some sickness bug tablets. i havent left the house is 15 days and cant wait for all this to be over. I miss my family as i am having to FaceTime them and i have nieces and nephews who dont know who i am. I feel like the government are doing the correct thing and i back boris johnson in all his decisions. I am very annoyed at people that are still going out to visit family or gathering in peoples back gardens, as this is cancelling out what other people are doing to prevent spreading the virus.

Context: I feel scared and anxious about the situation, and generally not knowing when this is all going to end. I hate that we can't do our usual daily tasks, or see friends and family, and I am also quite worried about my job - as for now my workplace is closed (temporarily) but who knows what will happen if this continues. It's obviously the best thing but it worries me that over time, it will be less and less likely that we will be able to get back to normal. I don't know what else to really say that I haven't already said

Context: Mismanaged by any of the worlds disease control departments, we know that Lysol evidently fights the control of Human Coronavirus (as described on its label), but chose to not do anything further. The US/UK have known about the potential for COVID-19 but again chose to not take it seriously. As these departments and people are employed to stop/assist in these outbreaks they are now culpable for the deaths, along with the Chinese area of Wuhan for allowing this atrocity to spread world wide. It appears at least there is evidential e-mails showing the head of the Control Disease Centre (CDC) dismissed the outbreak as only an extended strain of the common flu. If as is his title he is running a $40 billion budget each and every year, the buck must stop with him in the US...

Context: I’m very stressed every single day, much more than I’m usually stressing at work. I’m scared of tomorrow...about my siblings, friends, colleagues and our future. I never been so disappointed and tired of media. We all waiting for updates to bring us back to normal routine to start having plans and ideas of what next...currently our life is on pause. I’m tired of staying home for the third week and seeing people outside who just ignore social distancing and keep living their normal life’s like nothing  happens.

Context: I still feel anxious about it as I fear we're not out of the woods yet. A vaccine gives us hope but only on top of other measures. There are still question marks over new variants that make me worry. Life is not going to go back to normal anytime soon, I still feel fearful anytime I go indoors somewhere other than my house, that I am relying on masks to protect me. I can't see that easing soon. I am angry at the government for still not doing enough. The vaccine rollout has been mainly the scientists doing. The government don't care about people's health and just want to get the economy back on track.

Context: I am very scared for my loved ones, I don't want them to get it. I am worried about how it will affect my job. I just want things to go back to normal. I feel sad and lonely because I can't see my loved ones that do not live with me. I feel a lot of uncertainty and overall it is a very frightening time. I feel guilty when I complain about anything as it feels like nothing compared to other people. It is hard to know when things will go back to normal so I don't know when I will feel happy again.

Context: I am feeling very scared. Scared for my partner, for my children and for myself. I am paranoid about one of us catching it.  My OCD has intensified and my anxiety is spiralling out of control. I am petrified one of us will get ill. I am worried about losing money/jobs. I am struggling to cope with being in lock down.  If lockdown gets stricter I fear I will not cope.  I am so very sad for all of the lives lost and scared for all of the frontline workers battling to save everyone.  I can’t see a way out from this.

Context: I am feeling a mix of different emotions. I am worried about my loved ones and saddened by the amount of people who have already passed away. I am angry with people who do not take social distancing seriously as they may be a threat to themselves and people who are more vulnerable due to age or other health issues. I believe our government should be more strict and I am angry that self-isolation was introduced so late in the UK. However, I am glad to be in self isolation with my partner and child otherwise i would be very anxious about their well being.

Context: I am terrified of my family being ill.  I feel total despair and cannot see the end of this situation.  I am so sad that I cannot travel as that is my passion.  I watch in horror as Trump spouts his insane ramblings putting peoples lives in danger.  The uk government is just as bad, they want the old and ill to die so they don't have to pay as much in benefits.  The true situation in hospitals is being kept from the public and key workers are being put at risk by not being given the correct protective equipment

Context:
Concerned for my partner who is pregnant and type 1 diabetic. Hoping the situation improves quickly before we are due to give birth. At the moment I will not be able to join my partner in theatre if it is required which would be very upsetting to miss the birth of my first child which is meant to be a magical moment with skin to skin. I also fear for my job, which has been thurlowed for now but I worry if it lasts much longer if it will
Mean I lose my job and I worry about having enough income to support my new family.

Context: This is a difficult time for everyone, but do feel the Government should have taken action to stop the virus spreading in the UK sooner and ensured all those in need would have access to the PPE they need. As a family of mainly self-employed people we have no idea when we be allowed back to work and this will cause hardship and debt to many. Although, thankfully, I should be okay. Also, I do not feel we are being told the truth. Only those dying in hospital are included in the figures, thus we are not given a true picture of the scale of the epidemic.

Context: I had only just started to get my life together, and started to do things socially eg, attending lectures, swimming etc. And now that has all been taken away from me. In the sunny weather, I had planned to go to the seaside several times. Again that has been taken away from me. I even lost money on a hotel booking. I will really feel cheated out of this summer. I also feel annoyed, and frightened by people who are in denial, as they still go about their business, as if nothing has happened, potentially spreading the virus. We must all pull together, then the quicker it will be over.

Context: We are all at risk..it is like a lottery. Myself and my family are fearful and self isolating. We are even anxious about going outside, even for a walk and doing simple tasks like putting the bins out. We are lucky though to have a garden and to be able to order food online. I would like to do more and volunteer, but I have been advised not to on medical grounds. I feel fearful and helpless. I have felt all different emotions..anger at the government regarding ppe, sadness at watching news of people dying, fear that my family will get the virus, as I have elderly parents. I feel happy about the way the local community has come together at this time, and met people locally online, which zi would never have met previously. I have better understanding of charities and which ones are available in my area. I feel for the people who are alone at this time, and also larger families who are struggling to eat and dont have any space for the children, eg in high rises and BnBs, also for people who are unable to receive a high level of care at this time, those unable to progress with cancer treatment etc. I am very fearful as what is going to happen after the lockdown. The government does not have enough money to keep businesses afloat  after June time, so I believe money and economy will take priority over health. I believe we should self isolate for 6 months.

Context: I am absolutely terrified. I have asthma and I am scared to leave the house. Every time my husband goes to the shop and home I make him take his clothes off and wash them as soon he gets in. I'm scared of dying from this and I'm terrified anyone close to me gets this virus. It is becoming increasingly worrying and closer to home. I am furiously looking at the news constantly and hoping for remedies and prevention techniques to help myself fight this horrendous virus. I have a 2 year old child and the thought of leaving him without a parent is just unimaginable. Thinking that he might get it is horrific, I'm utterly terrified and so anxious about the situation.

Context: It is a very worrying time, as there are many shortages in shops and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to get essential items. It’s also very concerning how rapidly the number of cases and number of people dying from coronavirus each day is increasing, despite being under lockdown. I hope that tougher measures can help to get the situation under control, in order to help protect those most vulnerable. It is also worrying that frontline workers have not got the essential equipment needed to look after those suffering, as they are risking themselves to help save lives, which I hope can be improved soon.

Context: I am vunerable been told i have to stay home for 12 weeks i already suffer anxiety and panick attacks so im very afraid also brought on with continues cleaning continues washing my hands now an obsession. Although i will do all that is asked of me stay home etc im worried for my family friends and am crying most days . I am also very angry that i cant order the shopping i need i dont want family to go out incase they get sick and finally got order and there was no essentials left. IT SEEMS THAT NOTHING IS GETTING DONE BY THE GOVERMENT AND IM VERY WORRIED THAT THEY HAVE JUST LEFT US ALL TO IT NO DIRECTION AT ALL PLUS THEY LEFT EVERYTHING TO LATE

Context:
I'm terrified. I constantly worry about catching the virus and dying..
I'm not allowed out of the house at all as I am in the most vulnerable group so am feeling very depressed and tearful.
I think it has all been dealt with badly by the government. They should be arresting people who are going out for no real reason these selfish people are killing others with their stupidity.
The sooner people realise how dangerous this virus it's the better, sadly some people just don't care and think the rules don't apply to them.

Context:
i feel frustrated as everybody has to work together to get out of this but some people just want to look for trouble.

i also feel confused why people are not following the rules and simple instruction or being greedy.

this also makes me worried if UK do not make the situation under control in the next few weeks. there are also constant feed of news that are unbelievable that makes me speechless.

but all in all i am still grateful for the people that are keeping the society functioning, for example the health workers, people delivering and supermarket workers.

Context:
I feel really fearful of Coronavirus I’m not going to lie at first when it came out in China wasn’t one of the people who took it serious as I guessed it didn’t really affect me. Now it seems to be getting closer and closer to home. I just can’t wait for it to be a distant memory. I especially send prayers to those on the front line such as the nhs workers.
Although I’m a key worker I wish I was able to work from home but u unfortunately it’s not a possibility for me, it worries me every day getting on the train being around people who are not taking the 2 metre protocol seriously. I worry about bringing the virus back home to my family, especially as I’ve recently found out my aunty has been diagnosed although she was self isolating ?

Context: I am feeling worried and anxious about the situation, if we do get it I fear that we might develop mild symptoms at the beginning and afterwards develop serious illness . I also worry about our parents and worry when we go to do our essential shopping that we will infect others or get infected.I feel like this is having a bad impact in our mental well being, looking at the news isn't good and we can't go outside for fresh air. Even though we are allowed once a day, feel like it is too dangerous to go out at the moment.

Context: I feel saddened that this situation has risen and the UK government are not doing very well with dealing such a situation. I feel better than I have felt earlier as I hope soon we will be on a good path to less deaths and infections occurring. I feel angry that things took ages at the start and it was covered in china and not told till dec 2019 and this could all have been prevented in europe a lot sooner without escalating. I am hoping in 3-6 months it can be in the past and we can all move forward.

Context: I am feeling calmer now we’ve been isolation for 3+ weeks but I feel so scared for family and friends. I continue to feel anxious about deliveries and the ‘outside world’ coming in to our bubble. I am in awe of those on the front line. Normally I am very impatient but I’ve come to terms with the fact this will be a long and painful process in many senses. I feel concerned for my son that this social distance will ostracise him from learning opportunities and the ability to socialise. At 2 years old I am relieved that he does not understand some of what he is missing out on. The only positive emotion comes from the opportunity to spend quality time together as a family without interruption.

Context:
I feel very uneasy about the Corona virus situation. Not knowing how exactly it is getting spread and the social distancing instruction is worrying. The uncertainty of when the lockdown will be over is very draining and the inability to move about freely makes me feel depressed. I also feel fear for myself and immediate family as the survival rate are not great.
Watching television all day and sitting in the garden doesnt feel fulfilling enough and my inability to go to work and interact physically with my colleagues at work is demoralizing. I worry that this will not go away in a few weeks

Context: I have a sick father. He is 65 years old. It is very difficult for us to experience. He may die. Doctors say everything will be fine but I don't believe it's just a horror of some kind. a lot of my friends got sick. I think the government is silent on the real statistics of infected and deaths. I fear for my life and the life of my family. I pray for us. good god. The stores run out of products. no one brings up new ones. What happens next? I don't know, but you need to hold on and not be discouraged


Context: I am less worried about the corona situation than I have been in the past. I am reassured by the speed of the vaccine roll out. I am happy that children are now returning to school. The testing that my older children have received has been well organised. Other school implementations, such as mask wearing are working well. I am also pleased that the roadmap out of lockdown seems considered and that there will not be a rush to open things up. I'm concerned only that there may be a backlash if some things are put back.

Context: I feel hope for the future and getting back to normal but have anxiety that new strains of the virus will delay things and poor uptake of the vaccine will also affect our progress. I also have concerns about the economy and worry for my son who is shortly to join the job market. I would dearly love to get back to doing some of the things I used to enjoy such as holidays and even just going for a coffee in a café. I think the pandemic has polarised people and driven us apart rather than us having a shared fighting spirit.

Context: I feel very scared and afraid about myself and my family catching the virus. My anxiety levels are very high at the moment. I stay home with my two children while my partner still goes out to work and I am petrified that he could catch the virus and bring it back to us where we could all become ill. I also know and have read that healthy people with no underlying health issue's are dying from the virus also. I feel lonely and miss my family and social interaction and I think this virus could be around longer than people are expecting which means longer social distancing and not seeing family and doing normal things.

Context:
The situation with coronavirus at the moment is rather worrying. The amount of cases and deaths is raising rapidly. The fact it came from China’s wet markets, and they have now reopened those wet markets disgusts me. They should learn from their mistakes! I am proud of Britain coping the way it is. I am angry at the selfish people though, who continue to go out and enjoy the sunshine. My partner is classed as a key worker and I am worried that he will come into contact with someone with the virus and that he will get ill.
I hope Britain can get over it quickly and the country can get back on its feet.

Context: At the moment I'm rather calm, just trying not to think about it, but I'm also scared and anxious. No one knows how it will be like in couple of weeks, there is not much we can actually do, just hope we're gonna be fine and nothing will happen to us and our loved ones. Also we need to hope that other people will do their best to follow government's advice, but in that case we're literally hopeless. Some people don't realise it's serious and their behaviour is just selfish so normal people who want to follow government's advice need to take extra precocious to stay safe.

Context: I feel helpless. I also feel worried about my health. Also my girlfriend is a teacher so I worry about her being a key worker As she still has to go in with NHS children. Teachers yet a bad enough rap and it makes me angry with the current situation that they are not recognised. I am feeling guilty about being bored as I know that previous generations had it much toughter than we do. I feel I don't have any motivation to do anything worthwhile. Life for me has just become groundhog da I have no idea what day it is,  no motivation to get out of bed in the morning. Life is so mundane at thr minute y

Context: I am very worried. I am a care worker in vulnerable people’s homes so therefore this puts me and the service users at greater risk of contracting the disease. I now know of people who have the disease and people who have died from it so now it has become more real and therefore has increased my fear and anxiety. It also makes me angry when I see people congregating in groups when it is clear that this should not be happening. I also feel that not everyone is taking things seriously and taking the necessary precautions to prevent and minimise the spread of the disease. It also angers me that people are buying lots of items in the supermarkets at once as this means those who have to work may not be able to get their necessities when they have finished work

Context: I feel safe in our family bubble, finding joy in the little moments with my children and this time we have together but I miss my wider family and friends and worry about them all. I worry about money and my out jobs and what’s going to happen after. I worry about how my children will be affected by this.   I feel sad that things will never be the same again. My gran is 87 and I worry so much about her, I mean we were worried anyway because she has heart failure. Every time we travel up to visit I wonder if it’s the last time and now we have to stay away. It feels like we are collectively grieving, the things we have had to cancel and the life we once had. We have been saving for a deposit for a house but will probably need to spend our savings to keep us financially afloat if my husband gets furloughed. My business is not running just now as I work in the wedding industry. That being said I am enjoying spending time with my children and my husband at home together. We are lucky to have not long moved to a bigger house with a huge garden surrounded by fields and we are still able to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. We have done lots of things together we otherwise wouldn’t have time for and I think they are enjoying that too. They miss their friends but at the moment it’s not too hard on them. They are worried about getting sick too but I think it’s easier to put it to the back of our minds in our little bubble. I think about the people who are in less fortunate situations who are struggling to be stuck inside. I feel cross at people not taking it seriously enough and not adhering to the rules.

Context:
This outbreak situation is of great concern to me. Many of my friends have lost their jobs. The government is not helping. The money is running out. In the shops queue. Food is running out. I'm shocked! How it is possible to live. I'm tired of the bad news. My family is suffering. We can't walk down the street normally. We are afraid to get infected.
I worry about my work colleagues
I constantly worry about my parents.
I am afraid our medical system may not cope with many patients!
I am afraid of losing my savings!!!

Context:
Corona is very scary although things are easing off still scared of potential relapse in virus causing future lockdowns and causing depression.
Life has been totally turned around and frozen due to everything going on and I do not see an end to this way of life we are all going to have to rethink how we go about day to day business and be mindful of who we come into contact with especially family members who are vulnerable to prevent them being put at risk.
Although vaccines are about it is nerving to know that other variants could be perking about and potential re infect family members.

Context:
At this moment the way I feel it's a mix of emotions that is draining my confidence and hope in the future.
I feel very said for all the people who died all over the world, worried about my dear one living with me and the ones not living with me.
Worried because I have health problems and worried and thankful  because my husband it's still working but that puts him in danger.
Worried because I have lost my job due to this virus an economic crisis and because I don't know if I am going to get a new job on a near future.
Worried because when I watch the news about what's happening around the world I don't think we are doing enough. I'm staying at home with my child but I don't think people are understanding the real estate of things and they are taking it lightly.
People must understand that staying at home it's not a bad thing.  A bad thing is not to have a home and not to be alive tomorrow.

Context: I feel really worried as each day the number of deaths are high, i have been at home for the past 2 weeks and this has caused my mood to be low as i have struggled from being very socialable to very reserved. I feel sad when i hear about the deaths and how they are affecting not only others but close friends too, im missing my family and friends and feel very unsure about the future and when this will end. I do feel greatful to be at home and feel safe at home, i feel admiration for all the health workers who are very brave.

Context: I feel very afraid that me or my family could be victims of this illness and feel a full lockdown is needed. I have elderly parents who I can’t go and see or go the shopping for and due to selfish people getting 3 home shopping delivery’s (who I know of) I can’t even get a delivery to me and have to go to supermarkets and be in closer proximity than I would like. It would help to have done more to increase click and collect availability as there is a way to keep people safe by allowing a greater amounts of click and collect to help people keep safe distance by just pulling up at the time allocated and put dhopping in the car and drive away.

Context: angry there still people out and I about I have neaver seen so many people on bikes walking makes me so cross do people not get stay in and stay safe upset hurt that so many people have died just from this cross my partner is a key work at the hospital they have no ppe at all and now he is in ICU as there has not been the correct ppe so now he is lying in ICU get so mad at the way keyworks can not be covered, there is that many people in hospital makes me  upset angry any onew could catch it , young old , why has this happened

Context:
i think personally i feel worried about my family catching the virus, my parents are over 70 and have health problems.  I have 2 children (Both are ASD) and a partner  we all suffer from asthma and i have diabetes. The risk of getting the virus seems pretty high, but we also have to do the normal day to day activities such as shopping, taking out the rubbish, etc.

I fear if i catch the virus it will kill me, i take a long time to heal from cuts due to my blood sugar problems and history of infections.

i look forward to this being a thing of the past

Context: I am hopeful for the future and to return to work as normal. Also, I am excited to see my family and friends again, especially my elderly relatives who are in self isolation at the moment. However, I am worried about what will happen in the coming months regarding my families health. I am emotional about the deaths that have occurred already and am scared for the deaths that will come.  Also, I fear for the economical effects of this and how our daily lives may have changed forever, and the effects this will have for generations to come.

Context:
i feel sad and lonely and scared , today my husband was confirmed to have prostrate cancer and i want to see my family and i cant. i feel scared.Once lockdown is over i can see my family again but its not the same talking on the phone as opposed to getting a hug and a cuddle.
I just so worry if i will ever see my family again , but then again a lot of people are probably hfeel how i am , I just wish they would get a vaccine and make us all safe again , this has affeted us all in diffrent ways but as my husband is on a pension at lease our money is not affected

Context: Nervous about schools opening up next week as there is no social distancing or protection. Nervous in case either I or my children have to isolate because of close cases in schools. Worried about my husband working on Covid wards. Fearful that numbers will rise and pause the reopening of society and push back the planned openings. Frustrated that I can’t do the things I want to or go to the places I would like to go. Shopping online for everything is difficult and not always practical. It also impacts finances while waiting for refunds.

Context:
I am worried if my wife or I contract the virus because we have children to look after. I am annoyed that we can't go out and live our life as usual but understand that isolation and lock down are the best things we can do.

I am working from home but it is difficult to concentrate fully.

We have to home school but are concerned that we aren't giving our child the best education because we are not teachers.

Context: Really scare situation. I am worried about my family my loved ones. I feel what if something goes wrong. I really want to do something to help everyone  in this situation. I don't want anyone to die anymore. Really want to see the change as quick as possible. I Hope the government helps the poor people, to get their jobs back and everything goes normal again. There are certain group of people not talking this serious and roaming around and spreading and passing  the virus to everyone . This people should be punished and not given any medical treatment if they get the infection. They not worried about their loved ones or care about them then why should they be given any treatment. This is fun time for them they don't care about our NHS and all the worker who is working hard to get back to normal but because of this few people everyone will suffer. God bless our country.

Context:
I feel upset because this was provoked by China and this country failed to inform the real truth of the situation. I am very angry at the people who are still going out careless while I am at home with my family doing the right thing. I am upset we may be in a worst situation because of the selfish people.
It also upset me people doing those virtual parties while outside their homes many people dies in a horribly way because of this disease, not many people seem to care about others people and families suffering.

Context: It is a very worrying situation i am scared for my families health, i am worried about the economical factors this is likely to effect. I have lost my job due to the pandemic, one of my family members contracted the virus and was severely ill - he had high fever, bad cough and breathing difficulties, lucky they have improved. I fear that most of the British population do not understand the seriousness of the situation and it is likely to only get worse if we don't all work together to quarantine and avoid unnecessary social contacts.

Context: I'm worried about my parents, who are in their mid-to-late 70s. I'm due to graduate in a health-related field and take up a job in a hospital, so I'm concerned about the coronavirus making my experience as a new employee more stressful. I miss my partner, who lives in a different city, since we can't travel to see each other at the moment. Due to social distancing and the loss of my usual outside hobbies I feel quite disconnected from the passage of time. I feel unsettled by the lack of a clear end to this situation.

Context:
I feel very nervous with the current situation - I dread to wake up and watch the news - as I don't know what I will learn or what is the bad news.
I tend to follow the news on a hourly rate to keep up to date and again there are some positive articles but then there are some negative articles, and for the negative articles I feel low again. However I try to keep positive and spend time with my family to avoid listening to the news and I don't like to receive any forwards from whatsapp as alot of them is fake news

Context:
I feel somewhat relaxed about the entire situation, now that the Government has began to increase the pro-activeness of Covid-19 prevention and testing.
However some anxiety remains, and is likely to continue until the entire situation is resolved. I feel that the primary source of fear/anxiety is due to the delay in Government action, along with individuals not following the 'lockdown' rules in place throughout the country.
Although from another perspective I'm slightly relaxed after adapting to a working from home lifestyle.

Context:
its such a sad thing to happen and lots of people are going through such hard times now with money , job and also not being able to go out and enjoy the outdoors like they did. the elderly are at risk which is also very sad to see , people panic buying meaning things are limited which is also hard . the NHS are doing an amazing job but people are still worried about everything getting worse .
I feel pretty worried about money and food at the moment. things are stressful I hope corna get less and less and they find a type flue jab to give in the future so less people are at risk .

Context: I feel really anxious about the current situation. I am worried about my health and for my young children. I’m fearful of what is to come and if, how and when we are going to make it through. I wish that we could all be tested right now to find out if we have had it or if we have immunity to it. I find it uncomfortable seeing my children confused and I fear that it’s going to get a lot harder before it gets better. I think that we’re going to be in more severe lockdown and I know that will be detrimental to my mental health and I will struggle to cope

Context: its a bad thing.everyone should stay at home safe. and I'm a little bit scared about the virus, because it can come to my house. and i don't know how would it go to all my family. we have a newborn and his immune system isn't strong yet. we don't want to loose him. what if the virus comes here?what will we do? who will come to help us? we will panic. we will be useless. and no one will help us. because too many people will be in a queue for tests and help. there would be more inportant people in priority.


Context: I feel very sad at the minute with so many lifes being lost all around the world.People are dying on there own,the nurses are putting there lifes at risk to save others.The worst thing is a small minority of people are not taking it seriously and still going out with friends.I feel a full lockdown would benefit everyone and help save lifes of drs, nurses etc.If that was to be done, then life would get to normal alot quicker...There,s so many vulnerable people out there, then you get the one,s who think its ok they wont get it, and its the poor innocent ones that will suffer

Context: I have just read about the UK deaths for today, so I'm feeling quite sad. At the same time I'm feeling frustration that people in the UK aren't taking social distancing seriously and going out for picnics and gatherings despite the spread. I miss my mum too as I'm unable to see her, due to her being high risk and living an hour away. I feel lucky that I have my partner to see over self isolation, so feel very grateful that I have him. Overall I'm feeling quite sad about the situation, not to mention worried financially as I'm self employed and currently out of work.

Context: There are a lot of fears and anxiety around coronavirus and how long it will last for - with so many rumours and much hearsay about it, it can be hard to believe what is truth and what is media panic. Personally, I have a lot of fear around it. At the beginning of the pandemic, it was reported that it mostly affected the elderly but now so many people of varying ages are losing their battle with it. It's a very worrying time, especially if you are high risk and vulnerable. Also with regards to mental health, isolating can have a very detrimental effect on mental health

Context: It is very scary as don’t know what is happening and scared to get it as I have kids. I haven’t been outside at all and all the people on streets are not helping. We need stricter laws as people are using exercise and 1 walk as an excuse and making it worse for everyone. People are not taking the serious about it. People complain about  how long it’s taking to get back into work and the wages crisis so if they don’t stay at home how are we ment to deal with the sitioation faster. They are lengthening the time for everyone and passing. There is no social distancing with kids. Teenagers are still on the back streets on bike cars quads and it’s ridiculous. The government need to put a total ban on going out except work people. All shopping should be online only in food stores as I find the Long queue stupid, like people are still stocking or something. My opinion is I think it’s just an excuse to be out and that’s the only way they can be out longer. Get all shopping online and make it safer for retail aswel as ourselves. Book online and get it dropped off or picked up, it will be much faster. This way everyone will be inside except workers

Context: I am very concerned about the health of my family and friends. Where I live is a popular tourist location and I am furious that people are ignoring travel restrictions and visiting our area. I am doing everything I can to keep my children safe and happy but I am constantly worried about the future and how long this outbreak will last. My husband is also very anxious and this has led to more friction between us than usual. I hate arguing with him and I am so angry that the response to this virus has been so slow worldwide. My children are 13, 6 and 4. The two youngest don't understand how serious the situation is. My oldest does and is very scared for her friends, some of their parents are in the high risk groups and her best friends mother is currently hospitalized with coronavirus. It is hard to reassure her that it will all be alright in the end. She misses her friends terribly and at her age feels like the restrictions will never end. I am tired, frustrated and frightened at the moment.

Context: Scared and frustrated by people not following guidelines. Anxious about what will happen if I or my partner get the virus. Sad that we are in this situation and that we are so unprepared. Missing my family and friends. Lonely despite being with my partner 24/7. Relieved that moving in together happened when it did and has worked so well, guilty that he has had so many financial difficulties caused by this. Happy that despite everything we get to be together and that, while this is a horrendous situation it has come now and not a year ago when we wouldn't have been ready for living together. Guilty that there is anything in here that I am happy about.

Context: I am quite relaxed as of now due to the number of cases going down due to lockdown and the vaccine. I just hope this is all done by the end of the year. The way the government has approached this has confused me as there was no reason in opening schools which drastically increased the cases and closed after a couple of months. They should have just kept them closed until the vaccine was made to prevent all these deaths. I like the lockdown because I was able to relax and spend time with my family and luckily no one in my family has contracted covid.

Context: I'm extremely anxious and concerned about the current situation in the UK regarding the Coronavirus. Some people just don't seem to understand what staying home is and what the implications of them staying out sunbathing in a park or visiting their mates are. People are stupid and inconsiderate and it's a very tough feeling because you're stuck at home feeling helpless and waiting for this all to pass. Also, I am in panic every time I go to the shops and see there's a lot of things missing in the shelves. I'm also extremely concerned about my work and the livelihood of my job as so many people are being made redundant or are being furloughed. This has resulted in some sleepless nights.

Context: I did start to relax and think that when the vaccines are here then we can go back to normal but I’m now starting to fear that we won’t. I feel that the government don’t seem as positive about when the lockdown ends and when the majority are vaccinated. I’ve also been anxious the last two weeks as my brother and his children caught coronavirus even though he had been careful. I’m also still suffering the effects of coronavirus from last March and am worried about having the vaccine and what effect it could give on top. My child also has multiple allergies so whether he can be vaccinated remains to be seen and if not I will always have that fear.

Context:
Feel worried about catching it or passing it on to someone else. Feel worried about going out the house. Feel concerned how long this will go on for - can’t go on forever and feel nervous about staying in the house all the time (although am doing so). Worried about income as that has dropped for me so added worry about how long we will be in lockdown. Feel angry that people aren’t sticking with the lockdown and could mean we can’t go out for exercise
Every time you get a sore throat or anything you feel worried in case it’s Coronavirus

Context:
I’m feeling apprehensive about the next few weeks, how long we will be on lockdown.  I have older family members who I worry about catching corona virus and not making it.
I worry for my kids education, exams missed and education stopped. Will they be able to pick up where they left off. Will this affect their future?
I’m anxious about the food situation in supermarkets. Whether there will be enough to get through to the end of the lockdown. People are tending to over buy and not leaving enough for everyone else.

Context: I feel frustrated as cannot see loved ones who are not in my household. I am worried about my family and friends contracting the virus and becoming seriously I'll from it. I regularly have nightmare about feeling chlostraphobic and loved ones dying which doesnt help. I feel like I need exercise to get me through this, especially with working from home. It is also hard when others around me are all off work being furloughed, but I still need to do my work. I feel like I am becoming obsessed with watching the news. Uneasy, unknown, agitated. Wondering when this will all end

Context: I feel worries and fearful for the heath of myself, family and friends but am enjoying time at home. I am happy with what the government is doing. I am sick of the stupid media questions though. I am worried for my job and also my family and friends. I am worried we will not be able to go out to exercise soon. I think the government is doing all it can to help everyone. I think people are scaremongering on both social media and in the press. The panic buying and stockpiling is getting on my nerves as it doesn’t help anyone.

Context: I feel anxious and sad about the coronavirus and situation particularly with respect to the number of deaths that are occurring as a result of the outbreak. This makes me feel scared about my wellbeing and the wellbeing of my friends and family. The fact that this situation is something completely out of my (or most people's) control also makes me feel frustrated and helpless. This makes dealing with the situation more difficult for me. I think that the lockdown measures imposed by the government are the right thing to do but I do find them difficult and they have had an affect on my personal mental health.

Context: I am very worried for my daughter my family and my friends. I'm worried about running out of food because I haven't been stockpiling. The shops are scary and frightening so I am running low on lots of basic food. I miss working. I'm worried about running out of money and losing my house. I'm also worried about when this is going to end if it's going to keep on for ages. I dread seeing the death toll every day incase its higher than yesterday. The death toll shows people as statistics instead of the people they were. Its dehumanising.

Context:
I’m feeling very anxious and scared that either I, my husband or daughter may become ill due to Coronavirus. I’m afraid that despite adhering to all the cleaning and washing and social distancing rules we may still get it.
My husband and I are both key workers with me working in the NHS. I am on annual leave at the moment but am scared that I may catch it at work when I return there next week. It frighten me that there are people younger than me who are in hospitals on ventilators or worse still dying when they were fit and healthy before they caught the virus.

Context:
I feel anxious and scared as I am on immune suppressants.

I have been furloughed from my job as I work at the head office for a hotel company and the majority of our hotels are closed.
I have to hope that the hotel business returns to normal in the future in order to guarantee my job which is a scary feeling.

I feel bored as I have nothing to do. There is only so many walks, zoom chats and watching TV that I can do. I am trying to mentally stimulate myself by doing online courses that will help me within my career.

Context:
I worry about my work. I may lose my job because of this epidemic. I am afraid of losing my savings. The stores lack food. Permanent queues. I am afraid our medical system may not cope with many patients
I'm worried about my family.
I have a state of constant anxiety because of the epidemic.
Forced to stay at home and not go anywhere.
I constantly worry about my parents.
I do not like this situation, I am rather afraid of what will happen in the future.
It is very boring to stay at home without work
I feel quite anxious and afraid of what comes next.

Context: I feel afraid of how the U.K. will cope over the next few weeks and I how it will ever recover. How will the children cope going back to school, how will the country cope financially? How and when will people mourn the loss of loved ones? I am also afraid that there will be so many investigations, looking for blame and how we could’ve dealt with this pandemic better when more time and focus needs to be on recovering as a nation and as smaller communities. Many people are not adhering to guidelines and although this has been a dreadful start to 2020, storms and now there is sunshine people want to go outside and they can’t. I worry about how police service will cope and NHS staff and the other key workers.

Context: I am scared sick of it and think I will die. it's awful as I keep thinking I have symptoms and I'm a key worker which scare me more. The media is making it worse, I can't watch the news and I worry about it in case I die. I am scared for my children and worry about their future without me. I am scared for my elderly mother, she has medical problems and is nearly 90 and I haven't been able to see her. My father has died so I am dealing with that too. It isn't helped by not having support, just me and my children, no family to help. I haven't been out for over two weeks.

Context: At the moment, I’m not only fearful for those catching coronavirus but also the easing out of lockdown. It’s intimidating and scary to think about after a year basically trapped inside. I’m nervous about how I will cope when the world is back up to full speed. I also fear for the well-being of so many people; coronavirus has been the biggest life adjustment for so many people, and many are more isolated than ever. Mental health problems are rife and there’s not enough support in place for people suffering.

Context: Anxious about the future weeks to come, unsure about the outcome and how it will affect my job and the countries economy. I am hoping that lockdown will end soon and hope that everything goes back to normal very soon. Would like to say I am able to volunteer and help the NHS but I have no car. Waiting for the death statistics everyday and praying that they starting plateauing or declining very soon like Spain. Sad about everything being missed over summer and how my first year at university has been ruined and cut short. Extremely bored and hoping this ends soon. Praying that all my family and friends are safe and well, upset that I cant go and see them. Proud of the NHS!

Context:
I fear  that  the virus is more deadly than  we have  been  lead to believe. I wish it were all over. I hope things improve rapidly. I really do wish it were all over.

Context: I'm very worried about myself or someone I know catching the coronavirus/COVID-19. I am fearful that vulnerable people I know will die as a result needlessly. Irrationally, though I am fit and healthy, I worry that I will suffer greatly or even die if I catch the disease any time soon. I want to stay inside but miss going outside very much. I'm upset with the disruptions it has brought to daily life and I long for normality to return as soon as possible - it's essential that I have a routine for my mental well-being, in my opinion.

Context: I feel afraid for myself my friends and my family. I hate being under house arrest but understand the reasons why I have limited movement. I am very angry that the UK government are still allowing foreign nationals to enter the UK whilst this is going on as it defeats the object of doing all this in my opinion. I am not sure when all this is going to end but I get the feeling late June/July is the first time I am going to see a resemblance of normality. I am glad that at least on my weekly trip to Tesco's that the shelves are now returning to normal and that people have stopped panic buying items which was just totally stupid.

Context: i feel anxious about my husband who is vulnerable and on immunosuppresants and for other elderly relatives. Hopeful that the vaccine will help the situation but sceptical also. i have no faith in our government anymore as they have showed themselves to be a complete bumbling shambles and have other agendas other that the peoples well being. I think its disgraceful how they actively put corona virus patients in nursing homes without testing. They should be held accountable for all of those deaths and should be taken to court. I think the virus is here to stay and worried about future mutations, feeling pretty vulnerable and looking to become more self sufficient with my food etc so that i dont have to rely on a system that has such massive flaws.

Context: I’m scared someone in my family home will get the virus and end up severely ill in hospital. I’m constantly worried that if any of us go into hospital they may die alone. This worries me more with my two children. I’m being eaten up with anxiety at the thought of them being scared and without their mum or dad to make them feel better. I’m paralysed with fear that there may not be life support equipment for any of us should we need it. I’m concerned that if any of us get the Corona virus it’s missed as being severe enough to go to hospital and we die at home in pain. I am doing my best to keep my family away from other people so we can stay as healthy as possible

Context: Terrified for my family and friends. Worried about the whole financial situation and how we will cope. Fearful for the future in general! Worries about how everyone will recover from the whole corona efforts as its so bloody scary. It has caused me so much anxiety and  worry  and fear and general panic. I hate thinking about corona and i am so fed up of seeing it all over the news, facebook, and all social media. It is complete scaremongering.  People need to stay home and they are utterly stupid when they dont.

Context: I am verry worried at the moment...and all over the world it doesn't look any better..i am afraid we we'll be in this situation or worse for months to come....people need to stay indoors but that doesn't happen everywhere ...some don't take it seriously untill it happens to somebody they know...very sad how people don't think...now withe the warmer weather it will be worse..a lot of people think they are imune to the virus...even kids die because of it ...nobody is imune..stay indoors...................................................

Context: I'm bored stiffless. When I go to the shops once a week this is the highlight of my day. Im tending to be a bit more adventeous with cooking as this the only variation in my everyday life. My house is the cleanest it has every been as I clean it everyday. I do enjoy going for a walk everyday and have ventured to parts of Sheffield lined up for us to potentially live in the future. I never thought I would be excited to go back to work. I'm scared about the economic future and house prices as well as my pension

Context: Fed up of the whole situation.  Lockdown has created so many issues both health and mentally. I have struggled coping not seeing people and worried when I do leave the house. It plays on  your mind constantly.  I worry when I do meet people or even when things are delivered to the house. I'm stressed about going back to the office at some point. Angry with the lies from the government and lack of honesty with no direct confirmation of how many people have actually died of covid rather than bumping up the figures based on the deaths being 28 days after confirming being tested positive for covid. Angry that there are no figures to even show how many people have died after the covid vaccine. Sick of all of it.

Context: I feel somewhat fearful of what's to come in the future as I believe that we're not even close to having seen the worst of the coronavirus yet. I am worried for my family, especially my mum who is even more vulnerable to the situation due to having a chronic illness. It makes me angry that some people aren't following the government guidelines of social distancing as this is only going to make matters worse and lengthen the time that this lockdown and virus continues for. I feel that they are being selfish and not taking the situation seriously as they should be. They are not only putting themselves at risk, but also other people.

Context: I feel as though something awful may be on the horizon and that I will have no idea it is coming until it begins to happen. It feels as though we are all teetering on the edge of something bad, and I fear that everyone will start to panic in a way even more detrimental than the virus itself. I'm worried about those I care about getting ill and not being able to do anything about it, and it feels as though the problem isn't even real when you're not allowed to leave your house to see the extent of change that has happened outside.

Context: it is not over yet we all need to continue to stick to the rules. I feel that a lot of people are acting as if lock down is over and this will not help. I am frustrated by the number of people going shopping unnecessarily when we should only be going out for essential shopping. I also feel annoyed at those who are calling for places to open up quicker than planned as we need to re open slowly so there is no sudden surge in cases. We all want to return to normal but we need to do so slowly and carefully.

Context: I am very worried that I might contract Coronavirus I have to care for my elderly father and I worry I might pass it into him I’m also worried about job security and paying my bills I am also very scared when I go and do the basic things like shopping for groceries and I will put this off until the last minute. I am also very angry that some people are just ignoring the social distancing and not following the rules that the government have laid out. I am also concerned that our leader Boris Johnson has been admitted into hospital with Coronavirus symptoms and I hope for a speedy recovery as he was doing such a great job and I worry that his replacement will do such a good job the nation needs him
