Context: Fear for the future of the world and the economic, environmental , political ramifications of this virus, in the hopes we do not end up in a recession again like 2008. Anxieties about when it will end, whether it will affect me or my family, my education etc. Hope that the UK government will do something more to prevent the spread and to combat the ever increasing peak that we are getting every day. Worries about whether I will be able to continue my education properly with the current coronavirus situation.

Context: I feel worried, I mean university are making us come back to campus which I don't feel is safe, especially since I have to use public transport in order to get there. I am frustrated that people are not following the rules. I also worry how things will be if the projected dates get pushed back, I feel people will not respond well to that at all. I'm frustrated at the fact that if we had had lockdown over Christmas, things would likely be better. I'm also annoyed at how stupid people act in supermarkets

Context: Frustrated but extremely consoled everyone is in the same position. Worried for those vulnerable and my loved ones especially. Feeling very isolated and very restless, getting incredibly bored and overwhelmed. I am Bothered by not being able to go outside and I am missing my friends and family however I am glad to be isolated with someone i can talk to and have fun with, with plenty of work, o be doing as well as studying and being fortunate enough to have plenty of entertainment and space to spend time by myself indulging hobbies

Context: Right now, I feel anxious about whats to come and the likelihood of an extended lockdown period. Also, a bit of anger because of available lack of food and long queues due to people's ignorance. I also feel fear of losing a loved one and, catching the virus. I also feel like a lot about the virus and its spread is being hidden from the general public. I also feel confused at times due to the spread of false information (e.g. 5G coronavirus stories). I am student and there has also been an intense pressure on my ability to complete my workload before deadlines.

Context:
I believe that as a whole my local community is dealing with the outbreak and advice that has been given very well. I am however still worried for myself, my family and colleagues at work. This is because I am currently training to become an Nursing Associate currently supporting my local trust as a Healthcare Assistant. Everyone that I work alongside is doing a brilliant job in the current circumstances however there is the ever present concern that we could contract Covid-19.

I am however incredibly disappointed to see that some areas and groups of people do not appear to be taking this as seriously as they should be and are putting themselves and others at risk.

Context: I am extremely anxious that me and my family do not get it, as a mother, I worry for the kids, as an asthmatic I worry about myself. I the majority of people are being fairly good, but I am angry at the people who didn't take it seriously early enough, including the government, and at the people who think they are the exceptions to the lockdown rules who put us all at risk. I am sad about how many people have died and suffered horribly, and those who are yet to go through this. I am worried that when lockdown is lifted people will just go back to how they were and now learn the lessons.

Context:
I feel shocked at the high number of deaths especially those deaths of younger people without underlying health conditions.

Also concerned about not being advised to wear masks when in other Asian countries tries this has reduced the spread of the virus and ultimately the number of deaths.

I fear for myself and sister as we both have diabetes so working from home and keeping positive.

Overall it's the mental state of people in these troubled times as I feel stressed and depressed most days and if you have to keep unoccupied.

Context: I feel exhausted and a bit fed up. I am a community carer so I am classed as a key Worker. When  I am getting up early for my shift, putting on a fake smile to appear chirpy to my clients and give a positive vibe, barely having time for a break, putting myself and my family at risk and generally wearing myself out; to then see lots of people ignoring the rules and going out just because it's sunny is both frustrating and exhausting. However, I live at home with my mother and boyfriend and although tensions have been high as I feel we are getting fed up and under each others feet sometimes, I do feel like we have grown closer and make more time for each other now

Context:
My job disappeared overnight and is likely to have gone for good. I have no idea what I will do next. Our government is lying on a daily basis, the Tories are claiming they are the NHS' best friends when they've been trying to sell it off for a decade. Virtue signalling is rampant - I don't applaud in the street because it helps no-one.

At the same time as most people are trying to stay indoors and follow the rules, a few people are shouting at those taking a daily walk in the park.

I can't get a supermarket delivery slot for my elderly parents, (in their 80s), yet I have friends boasting about 2 deliveries per week.

Context: Currently, I feel hopeless about the Corona situation. I had previously been staying positive but this week I have been feeling a mix of strong feelings like anxiety and sadness. I am finding it quite unsettling to have no control over the situation, especially knowing other people are still willingly putting others at risk. Since losing my job last week due to this situation, I feel useless and am sad that there is nothing to look forward to in the near future. I am trying to stay positive and keep some sort of routine throughout my days so that I don't feel lost in the uncertainty of all of this.

Context: I feel anger and disgust at seeing people still going out to see their friends and partners while I am sacrificing all that for the safety of myself and everyone else. I am feeling very stressed and anxious due to having 3 university Master's exams, multiple assignments still to hand in and a dissertation on top of this already stressful situation. It is hard to be happy and get back in to a routine when I don't know when this is all going to end. I feel like I have nothing to look forward to as every thing I had planned has been cancelled. I know it's for the best but it is hard to cope at this time.

Context: I'm worried. I'm in a vulnerable group, as is my mother, so it's a scary time. I'm a homebody so I don't struggle as much as some with the idea of staying at home, but not doing anything at all is a little much. I'm missing out on seeing Book of Mormon, something I've wanted to do for years, which is a little saddening. I'm most worried about what the country will look like when this is all over. I'm sure big chains will survive, but what about places like the local Korean restaurant that I love?

Context: I am feeling burnt out and in desperate need of a change of scenery. I am hoping that virus levels will continue to fall so that lockdown measures can be relaxed and I can take my children to the woods or the beach. They need it for their mental health.  My family and I have stuck to every lockdown rule set and we are finding it increasingly frustrating seeing people break these rules - especially when we have sacrificed so much. I am trying to feel optimistic for the future but when I can receive the vaccine seems a long time away.

Context:
Although things seem to be getting better when immunisation is concerned, I worry that people will take it as a given that this is a cure all and become lazier with social distancing etc.  My fear is that with this will bring a further wave of illness where more people will die and mutations may occur which the immunisations will not work against. A lot of people seem to think they don’t need the jab or to listen to guidance and this is very concerning even with the decreasing death rate.

Hopefully I’ll be proven wrong!

Context: In the past year I got used to the situation. I don't have any strong feelings about it anymore. Given that we have a number of vaccinations available makes me optimistic that this will soon be over. I'm looking forward to pick up my jab as well. My work situation is still the same, I work from home most days, but I spend time at my workplace as well, where I can interact with people in person. Am also a bit worried as I have family in another country where things are not going as well as here in the UK.

Context: I really miss my boyfriend; I haven't been able to see him for nearly three months now because of the Corona situation. I'm also worried that he will get sick. And I have a house move pending and I am stressed about that too, and the Corona situation just makes that worse because it adds complexities. I have a four-year-old daughter who started school in September, and I've worried about her socialisation and learning during lockdown too, as well as worrying about my work situation because I'm self-employed and home schooling doesn't help with that either.

Context:
Scared, angry at the UK public for not complying, frustrated at all the fake news circling the internet.
Angry at tory voters clapping for the NHS, when they were dragged through the dirt last election.
Nervous for my university situation, and my housing situation. Wondering how the hell homeless people are tackling this, we dont know because the news arent covering it.
Angry at stockpilers, my parents, money, life.
Realising that we are all easily replacable, our time here never really mattered (animals and nature will return). The only way to really stop climate change is to eradicate the human race? no? Makes you think

Context: I feel quite anxious about the situation as the future is so uncertain. I am worried about how coronavirus will impact all areas of my own life (social, economic, career, family) alongside society in general and the economy. I don’t see an end in sight which worries me even more. I am concerned that the government is hiding aspects of the epidemic from the public. I am concerned that China has been untruthful with the world and that their death toll is much higher. I am worried that there may be a second wave of the virus which will destroy all of our progress

Context:
I think not enough was done at the beginning because people weren't aware of how bad it would get. More testing and contact tracing needs done to be able to know where the virus is.
It's annoying because people aren't following the rules to stay at home and not see people who aren't in their household.
I cant see my boyfriend and rest of my family for who knows how long and loads of people are still out acting as if everything is normal.

There is a constant flow of news about the whole situation which has been giving me some anxiety so i've been trying to not look at the stream of news and information throughout the day and its helping.

I am classed as a key worker and have been provided with some protective gear but the people i work with aren't bothered about wearing it.

Context: Currently I do not mind the situation in terms of the lockdown as I am able to save money and also focus on my degree studies. I worry for the population especially young people who may catch the virus and pass this onto vulnerable family members. I am anxious about finding a job after graduating this year due to potential recession. I also worry for my own health as I do have asthma. I do wish for life to return to normal soon so I am able to enjoy the summer and everyone can be happy. I am disgusted at the way some people are not taking government advice seriously and believe these individuals are selfish and not considering how their actions impact the whole population especially NHS workers

Context: I feel anxious for the health of those who are close to me who are vulnerable, for example my grandparents. I am not only worried about them catching Coronavirus, but also about their mental health being cooped up and not having anyone visit.  I am worried for the economy as a whole, but luckily my job is stable and I can do it from home. I miss seeing my friends and family, but I am lucky I live with my boyfriend and we are enjoying this time together. It has been nice to slow down and enjoy the beautiful weather from our balcony. I am afraid I will become less fit and healthy from staying inside all the time, but I am enjoying reading lots and watching good films.

Context:
I feel very sad that the Pandemic has aged my parents. They are in their 80's and have become very dependent due to health conditions compounded by CORONA. Because of the need to shield, limited physical activity and comfort eating has worsened their diabetes and they have lost their physical stamina.
We are saddened to have all missed so much of our young grandchildren's development and worry they may have forgotten how to hug.
Working remotely finds me exhausted when I do have to leave the house for shopping etc.
Suffer a great deal from anxiety about weight gain and appearance.
Personal relationships have been troublesome at times due to lockdown.
Fear for things returning to 'normal' - how will i cope?

Context: I am anxious for the world in general.  I am fearful for the health of my loved ones.  I am furious with the UK governments wilful avoidance of doing the right thing, I am furious that UK royalty can travel the country,. but ordinary people can't sit on a bench in their neighbourhood to catch their breath while out for a walk.  We are either all in it together and the fules apply to all or we are not. It makes me so concerned for the UK in general and my people in particular. One of my children at eighteen is having to live alone, so on top of his risk for coronavirus I am terribly concerned for his mental health, but my elderly father lives with me and the risk to his health by introducing another person into the mix is too much.  I feel only the rich will survive this.

Context: I am worried my job might be at risk. My mum is in the high risk category and that worries me lots as her breathing is always bad. I think about what if this doesnt go away and covid 19 becomes the normal flu. im bored in doors and so are the kids. The kids want to go out with their friends, they dont seem to understand the seriousness right now. seeing other countries have higher deaths on the news everyday makes me worried the UK might go that way. my family is lonely right now, cant wait to get back to normal.

Context:
I am worried but hopeful about the rollout of the vaccine. I am still anxious about being around others and in public places. I have been working from home and self -employed and scraping by but after some big expenses last month I have to get a job for the time being. I am scared about what that might mean for my health as I am vulnerable.

 I am angry at the government for using the crisis to enrich their friends and families and I am angry that they are pitting the UK population against the NHS wrt the 1% ""pay rise."" All these things are linked. We could have had any government to see us through this crisis but we had the most incompetent and corrupt one imaginable. I feel shame and anger.

Context: I feel sad that it has been such a long time, and we are still stuck in the pandemic. It is upsetting that the handling of the situation by the government has led to so many deaths, and the requirement of a second lockdown. I wish that we had stuck with a strict lockdown for longer, to be in a better position than we currently are in. I have some hope for the vaccine, but also am used to the hope being squished by new issues, so I am reluctant to believe an end is in sight. Additionally, I am upset about the things coronavirus has cost us, both in lives and in how I have experienced life as a Masters Student

Context: I'm really worried about catching it as I have asthma and am yet to have a vaccination.  I worry that it'll put me in hospital and I'd be very sick.  I'm always having to be careful if I go out and I hate/have problems wearing a mask due to my severe anxiety (which I had before the coronavirus pandemic started).  I just want to get back to normal and live my life again how it was before the coronavirus hit.  I want to go back to doing what I used to do.  I've almost forgotten what that's like and I think it'll take time.

Context: I want to go back to how things were before. I'm struggling to find the motivation to do things because we're on lockdown, even though I have lots of university work to be doing. However, I understand that lockdown is for the best and it's what's needed to get things back to normal. I am very grateful that I have my family, food and a place to stay. I am also grateful towards the NHS and all the key workers. Even though I'm struggling with being inside the house all the time and missing my friends and family a lot, I know I am very lucky to be in the position I am in now. I am also grateful that I live in a time with technology so it's so easy to stay in touch with all the people that I'm missing.

Context: While I am hopeful about the ongoing vaccination program I feel very defeated and hopeless about the pandemic globally, and frustrated by people's attitudes and selfishness. I miss my friends and family but my fear of catching or transmitting the virus is keeping me being very careful and staying at home. I feel anxious about the future of the planet, not so much for my own situation but the world in general, poverty, inequality and politics. I'm generally quite an optimistic person but lately I have been feeling very worn down.

Context: Im very anxious I don’t even like leaving the house for essentials. I’m sad all the time I can’t watch the news. I just wish everyone would do what they are told and it will start to work. I’m working from home and even though I’m lucky enough to have my husband with me. I miss people. Especially my family. I have never not seen them for this amount of time. I’ve already missed Mother’s Day and next easter. I feel sad I may even miss my mums 70th birthday. We have cancelled travel plans. We haven’t been able to get the deposit back as they are only offering future cruise credit.

Context:
At the moment I feel what I'm doing to keep myself safe from the coronavirus Is working and the public safety measures currently in place, make me feel more  relaxed about the situation but still aware of what's happening.

Staying home doesn't bother me at all because I did that before the pandemic anyway, I'm just more bored, so I struggle to find something to keep me busy so I usually sleep during the day.

To stop the boredom I got  another job in a supermarket which was fine before the second lockdown but then people started to come in for a day out in large groups and not conforming to social distancing rules which Is annoying.


Context: I feel more hopeful than I’ve felt in a long time and I’m happy the vaccine roll out seems to be going so well. I am anxious about what going “back to normal” looks like as I want the freedom to make permanent changes to life like working from home. I am frustrated at the government as I feel they have not done enough and have looked after people who look like them rather than those who need it the most. I think it’s likely that fewer people will vote for them in the next election because of their coronavirus response.

Context: At the moment, the end of this pandemic is not in sight. I am not sure that the vaccination will take away the risks by that degree and am anxious about the effect this all will have on my children, their education and the experiences that they will have to miss in these crucial years. In the past year, there has hardly been much face-to-face teaching and absolutely no extra-curricular activities or clubs. It would be alright if we knew when this will be over but it seems this way of life is the new normal which would be bearable for me but I feel sad for the children.

Context: I feel anxious for my children and family. I know our life will not be the same as it was. People will always be sacred of this for much time to come. I feel disappointed that it got so bad and so many lives were lost. I do fear for my kid's future, if this was allowed to get so bad what could happen again? I worry about my daughter going back to school tomorrow, but she needs to go back as she's feeling frustrated with not being at school with her friends. I try to hide my anxieties with her. I want her to have the same carefree childhood I had.

Context: Currently I am more frustrated than worried as my loved ones and I are taking all necessary precautions to avoid the virus. However many people aren't following the guidelines imposed by the government and I am aware that these people are going to cause the lockdown to go on for longer, interfering with other's lives due to their own selfishness. In addition, I am saddened when I think about what I am missing out on; my first year at university and a summer in Sri Lanka. I also keep thinking about how happy I was this time last year and how I took it for granted.

Context: I'm anxious to recieve my second vaccine as I'm in a shielding group. My children are not returning to school on March 8th, as I feel it is safer for me and them to return after the Easter break. This lockdown has been harder as the weather isn't as good and its harder to spend lots of time outside, this is especially true for my children. We are more prepared this time though and there are elements of the isolation of lockdown that are positive and I'll miss very much when live returns to pre-Covid normal, whenever that may be.

Context: Feeling hopeful today as the number of deaths has fallen over the weekend. I am trying to avoid any negative news and focusing on my immediate home environment. Feeling okay and that we are gradually getting through this. I am making sure we laugh everyday, eat well and get out for a walk every day. It's important to look forward and be positive in your own mind. No point in dwelling on the bad news. Keeping busy with work and around the house is really helpful. Making sure we enjoy the small things like the sun being out and drinking a good cup of tea.

Context: From the beginning of this pandemic i have been anxious about it, i am worried for my and my families' health as well as the fear of job losses.    At this point I feel very tired and sad of the situation but get annoyed at how things have been handle by the Government and press.  Some people i know haven't taken the situation seriously and this attitude has worried my greatly as I feel I am trying my best but other people do not.  I can see their point when people in power can do what they like so they feel ""why should I bother?""  When you are around these types of people it becomes depressing as it makes you feel that what you do doesn't matter and that they don't care how their behaviour affects others.

Context: I'm concerned that because Boris had revealed his road map, people will stop following the rules properly. I have seen people doing this already. I am also really missing my family who I haven't really seen for almost a year. I don't have any fears or worries about work as this is very stable for me. In working from home and there's zero risk that I could lose my job. I'm also a little worried about how I will handle coming out of lockdown.  I'm quite socially anxious do the thought of doing people again and going back to office based working has me worried

Context: Concern that I am a keyworker looking after vulnerable people. Worried that I can't stay home and scared I take virus to the people I support or my family. Tired as having to work extra shift and worried about older family members. Find it hard to get time to go shopping without taking my 5 year old as my husband and I are having to work opposite shifts due to grandparents being unable to babysit. Scared in case I become ill and can't look after my family and worried about the economy after it is over

Context: i feel very worried about the Corona situation because fear for the will being of my family and friends as well as the the economical effects. for example food expensiveness going up as well as my mental health. most important consern is for my family and my children because they are at the most risk and my elderly relatives such as my mother who also has other medical conditions, that buts her at most risk, the other thing i am worried about is not able to travel, because traveling and socialising with friends and family is very important to me

Context:
I feel hopeful that there is a vaccine however dubious about side effects. Although I am still anxious and precautious, I am also tired and bored of lockdown restrictions and cannot wait for some normal life to resume. I feel sorry for my 5 year old son who joined reception this year and has been in and out of school this has hindered his social skills. My 18 month old baby has spend most of his life in lockdown and has not been able to have the same experiences of babies and toddlers born outside of the pandemic.
I am greatful for the opportunity to work from home as it has brought bettter work like balance

Context:
I am worried about the future financial ramifications of the current crisis.
I am concerned that i will pass this onto people that will not survive. I also worry that a family member will become ill and i will not be able to see them. i am feeling unsure as there is no timescale for this crisis.
I am furloughed from work and using this time to focus on myself and that is positive.
i am enjoying the time i get to spend with my partner. I also think this is a good time to unwind and get into art, which i have neglected for a long time.

Context: I am not too worried about contracting the virus as I am working from home and only go out for food and a solitary walk. I am following government guidelines to the letter with regards to this.  I am however, concerned about the impact on the economy and what life will be like once the virus is overcome. I imagine high taxation, high unemployment and rising prices. I imagine there will be redundancies in the company I work for. This causes me great concern as if I am made redundant I will not find it easy to get another job and still have 9 years to go before I get a pension,.

Context: Feel quite anxious about the future  and also sad about the number of fatalities. Maybe a bit of anger at those not obeying government directives. And also not pleased about the lack of PPE provision by government for healthcare staff. Overall I also feel hope that this shall pass quick and normalcy restored. I feel blessed to be able to spend more time with family in lockdown. Also wonder if outcome would be different if definite measures were put in place earlier. I feel appreciation for the frontline health workers and all other essential staff,

Context:
At the moment I am feeling quite anxious about the situation.
It seems that figures may be improving slightly but the next day its worse again. Newspaper headlines, twitter etc dont really help as they know that dramatic headlines sell news and they use a  mixture of trigger words to cerate the desired effect rather than actual facts at times. I live in Scotland so I have the extra anxiety of being under the whim of a partisan power crazy leader and her cohort of inexperinced and underqualified ""health leaders"" . Quite a few scots are now ignoring her Scottishing and regurgetation of information, and listening to the main UK daily press briefing insead. Scots people are definte;y more fearful as a result of her separate approach. We need unity at atime like this. The CMO scandal has just made things so much worse.

Context: I'm feeling a bit separated from the rest of the world, from my friends and family. I'm worried about the elderly members of my family more than myself. I'm anxious knowing they will leave the house and possibly come into contact with others. I'm relaxed at spending time at home and happy to spend so much time with my boyfriend and his family (in our household). I'm hopeful for the future and that better days will return. I'm frustrated that some people aren't listening to the lockdown rules and could possibly mean we are in this lockdown situation for longer

Context: I feel very uneasy about the lockdown situation.  I know that it's to minimise the contagion rate and whilst I'm fearful of contracting the virus, I'm equally concerned of the impact of my mental health.  My mental health is suffering with a lack of social interaction and normalcy in seeing people and living life.  I feel like I am totally ready for restrictions to be lifted (and with precautions such as masks) but i feel as though it's time to begin to lift restrictions and allow a semblance of normalcy to resume.

Context: I feel anxiety for myself and my family. I am a front line worker and next week will be mixing with 900 plus people per day again. I am not vaccinated so I can't see my family safely even if I was allowed to, but I'm told it's 'safe' to deal with other people's. It's not safe - how can it be?I don't trust the government at all because there have been so many 'u' turns. I am now taking medication for anxiety and depression which all stems from the risk I associate with my job. Maybe I will feel differently as more people are vaccinated but what a sad, sad death toll this country has. Covid was not controlled or handled properly in the UK, from the start up until now.

Context: I feel very anxious about my job and ongoing financial situation. I’m also concerned about my son who is working in a supermarket and whether he may come into contact with someone with the virus and get it himself. I feel fearful for the future at the moment. I worry that this will take the country years to recover from both socially and financially. I’m cross that people aren’t obeying social distancing rules which will make us have to endure lockdown for longer, I’m very proud of our NHS and thank staff daily for working through this. I admire their courage and strength.

Context:
I am Scared and fearful for what is happening on a daily basis, for what it is doing to all of those around us, even when this is over we will be living in a very different world which is also very scary to think about.

I feel some media outlets are not giving the full correct information and twisting it slightly to sell papers.  This is causing a lot more issues for many people and they should also be fined by the government for doing this.

My hat goes off to all of those on the front line who have no choice but to deal with this and just carry on, those breaking government guidelines should be handed a very large fine.

Context: I am very anxious about the corona situation as everything feels uncertain and its getting me down. Every day is the same which makes me feel unmotivated and depressed. I try to stay positive but I am concerned the government are setting dates when we can be free from lockdown but I don't think its going to happen because I personally feel the covid cases and deaths are still too high. I feel sad because I want to see my family and friends but don't know when I will be able to. The lockdown has gone on for too long now and things should have been dealt with properly at the beginning of this pandemic.

Context: I still feel very anxious about the Covid situation.  I am worried for myself, my friends and family.  I am worried for the lives we had before which may never be the same again.  I am upset for our children and the experiences and life they have missed out on. I think a year on we know what happened in the past and did not have the fear of the unknown.  I am also starting to feel a bit of hope that the warmer weather may bring an end to the situation.  I have conflicted feelings and want hope to overcome the fear and anxiety.

Context: I am extremely concerned as I am classes as a 'vulnerable' person due to an existing condition and also have a young family. Fortunately I can continue to work but the prospect of being at home for 12 weeks with all of this going on outside definitely fills me with dread. I had been following the news intensely but was just finding it too much so have been trying to limit this - it's impossible to avoid rumours and speculation whenever I access social media but being in the house means it's constantly at my fingertips. It's a very stressful and challenging period in my life

Context: It was fine until this current lockdown. Now I feel detached from my family and just want it to be over. As the schools reopen, it feels like the restrictions are being lifted and nobody really cares about the risk. I see parents having chats on the playground and not social distancing.  I’m fully aware that the risks are still there however it’s been going on for so long now that I’m willing to handle the risks. I just want life to go back to normal. COVID has taught me the value of seeing friends and family that I won’t take for granted any more.

Context: I feel anger and disappointment at the way the situation has been handled - measures taken too late and not enough and people not taking it seriously and protecting each other and sadness at the effects it has had on everyone, both directly and indirectly, I am also frustrated at how long this has gone on but I also fully understand that we have to be safe but I am starting to feel some hope now vaccines are being distributed quickly and there may actually be a real chance of getting to see people and do things again before the end of the year.

Context:
I feel extremely anxious about the future. I graduated with a masters degree in autumn 2020 and am still out of work; this is heavily effected by the pandemic. I feel anxious about myself or people I know getting the corona virus. I’m also anxious about how life will look in the near future regarding restrictions, socialising and job security.
I feel angry at the government who appear to be less than competent in handling the pandemic when compared to other places such as New Zealand. I think it’s disgusting that politicians have got away with, and continue to get away with, such awful and morally cruel governing.

Context: I’m really worried me or my family will get ill. I’m worried who would take care of my kids if I am ill. I am worried about being taken to hospital all alone. Worried about how I can get grocery delivery slots. I feel like this is never going to end. I am just worried all the time about it. I feel like the virus is getting really bad in this country now. I am checking the daily figures when they get announced on the website every day. My family are also quite worried and I have elderly relatives which is a concern for us.

Context: I feel anxious about it everyday. I pray to calm myself as that helps. Everytime I feel any type of symptom, I get very worried and stressed out. I get anxious everytime I read the papers or watch the news and being indoors indefinitely gives me alot of anxiety. My daughter is tired of being home too and I feel sorry for her. Going food shopping or for any essentials makes me nervous as I worry about the people I am coming in contact with. Being outside, even in the open air, gives me serious anxiety because I fear the virus may be in the air. Sounds crazy but isolation will do that to you. It is just a very trying time. Thankfully, I'm working from home and even as challenging as it has been, I am grateful for something to keep me busy and to still be earning.

Context: Living in a rural village and my mothers businesses having to stop due to the virus, we aren't in contact with that many people so my fear of catching the virus is low. However, my elderly grandmother lives alone in the same village and I am worried about her getting it. She isn't in contact with many people but I still worry that she will get it and she has a cat that I fear wonders and may pick it up from other people. I also worry for my mother because she is 57 and had pleurisy 2 years ago which almost developed into pneumonia.

Context:
After resigning myself to the lockdown situation, I planned to do my best for my family and myself by self isolating and felt that was the right thing to do,

As a result, I have been frustrated with monitoring news about other people, and seeing how they have not adhered to the recommendations of isolation - for the good of themselves and others. This has left me feeling frustrated.

All in all, I feel drained, anxious and have negative feelings for the near future, especially as I have given the situation some thought and can see some illogical reasoning going on, such as distanving musct go ahead but the governement not doing anything to distance key workers when they have to travel by public transport.

Context: I feel anxious about my income, I had to self isolate because I was presenting symptoms and I got laid off for that and didn't even get paid sick pay. Now, I don't know what to do, the government is not helping me at all. Also, I am more anxious because I am the one that supports my mom and grandmother who are in another country. I don't know what will kill me first, corona or stress. I had many plans, and this thing is postponing all of them. I know I can overcome this, but the stage I'm at the moment is too dark. I want this to finish now.

Context:
I've been feeling anxious lately due to the pandemic and mostly I'm worried about how the economy will be affected, and how the younger generation will be affected as their school lives have been disturbed heavily, worried for my nephews.
It's been hard trying to buy food and essentials as everyone is being stupid and panic buying, especially toilet paper out of all things which i really don't understand. Hopefully in a few months things will be a bit more normal because attempting to live as normal these days is quite impossible.

Context: There are so many people around at the moment. The road outside is full of cars, and that worries me. I'm a little more relaxed than I was this time last year. I've had my first coronavirus injection, so that has gone some way to easing my fear. But I do worry about whether or not they will ever give us the second injection. I'm not sure I trust a government whose main aim seems to be telling the world that they've vaccinated more of the population than anyone else while knowing that they've not actually fully vaccinated them at all.

Context: 5 months ago, my father was diagnosed with stomach cancer and started to take Chemotherapy, which destroys his immune system. So, he has become a vulnerable person for Covid. This dramatically changes my perception of Covid and I try to avoid Covid as possible as I can. My hands are irritated y soap and disinfection. There is a sign on my nose because of masks. In addition to this, young people become very sick due to Covid. Because the virus has a new mutation and this one is more dangerous than the old one. I am also worried about my own health. I don't know how can I explain more about my situation. It is like a nightmare. I hope that Covid will vanish soon.


Context:
I'm worried about current situation and I'm worries about mine and my family's health. My financial conditions are not good and I'm frustrated about it. Food stock is very low at home and I'm worried about food stock as well.
Hopefully everything will be okay so we can live our normal life and most importantly stress level will be decreased. I'm stressed about current situation of our mortgage and insurnace, if we are not gonna earn money how we gonna pay our bills. Its is a fear type of situation and we are struggling to keep our children busy and entertained at home.

Context: I feel quite low at times throughout the day, slightly anxious about the unknown and restricted and a little bit trapped although I’m fully aware it is all for the best and needed it does feel very lonely and I worry about when this will all be over and how different things will be when it all endS. I have some money worries about how Secure is my job.  It’s the worry of the unknown and whether you yourself will get it or a family member friend and could I too be a carrier and pass it on someone else that I care about

Context: I am quite anxious at the moment as I have a partner living with me who is fairly high risk and I am scared I will pass the virus on to her as I have to go out for shopping and essentials. I have noted that quite a number of people are not observing the social distancing guidelines whilst I have been out for essentials and this leads me to becoming angry towards them. On a more positive note I have found the time stuck at home productive as I am able to catch up with things around the house and personally which I wasn’t able to previously due to a busy lifestyle with work.

Context: This country has been a complete mess. Every single moment of this fiasco over the year has been poorly handled. Closing for 3 months before putting kids back into schools. Not cancelling Christmas causing the worst spike of the entire coronavirus timeline. Everything has been mishandled by the government in the UK and I'm sick of it. And yet, they will be voted in again. Because our country is under Stockholm Syndrome. It's disgusting. I'm tired. I just want to be vaccinated and done with this all.

Context: I feel very sad about the people that have lost their lives, especially young children and parents. I feel very sad for all of the people who are still having to work in these conditions, no matter what there job is. And I feel worried for my friend and family and a little for myself. I hope that it comes to an end very soon. I also feel angry about people who are still going out and ignoring the guidelines set out by the government, however I think that we should have gone on full lockdown because some people are just not getting the message and then this will go on for even longer. There should be tougher punishments for people who are breaking the rules.

Context: I am still very wary of the situation but optimistic of the rollout of the vaccine. We cannot afford to be complacent as new strains are still a serious threat but we are moving in the right direction. Even as restrictions are lifted I will still be very cautious and avoid going to shops or work for the foreseeable future. I think working from home is great for me personally and I think it will become more widespread even once we get through this. I think I will still be shopping online, even for groceries for a long time to come. I think we would need to get to a stage where social distancing is not required before I would consider going into a supermarket.

Context:
I’m sometimes start to feel more hopeful that things will return to being a bit more normal but then I will perhaps see something on the news or social media about events happening in other countries and it will make me worried again about if we will ever be normal again.
The vaccine is great news but I worry about new strains and if it will be any good against them .I am lucky though that I have had work but my partner has not had so much so financially we are not doing so great but we are coping .

Context:
I am a bit lonely and a bit frustrated at not being able to see anyone but mostly I am sad I guess and anxious. It is my son's 8th Birthday tomorrow and he can't have a party and most of his presents haven't turned up yet.
Went out today for an emergency shop of what we could find to tide him over - just hope he has a good day.
Tired though, just blown up 75 balloons!!
So all in all a real mixture of feelings, I hope he has a good day and I hope everyone gets better soon. It must be hard for all the people on the front line or are suffering financially

Context: Anxious about not knowing how long the situation will go on for. The restrictions on movement worry me more than the virus itself. My daughter is only 3 and I worry about how she will be affected as time goes on. Of course, I do also worry about loved ones catching the virus and getting sick. I feel lonely as I don't live with anyone except my daughter. It feels relentless, like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I'm self-employed and I worry about how it will affect my job, as I'm a single parent.

Context:
i am scared my anxiety is through the roof as i am a vulnerable person. I am angry at people that are not listening or taking heed of the goverment advice and guidelines. I am scare of what this means for the world now how different things will be in the future. I am anxious that a vaccine will not be found soon enough .
I am angry that vulnerable adults are being asked and may not get ventilation should they need it die to a lack of ventilators. I am worried what it means for our children they are missing out on so much both ediication seeing their freinds etc.

Context: currently i feel frustrated at the fact that i cannot see my friends and i feel like my mental health is suffering greatly because of that. the reason i need to see my friends is because i am going through a very rough patch and i need to have people to talk to semi regularly. i feel like problems with peoples mental health are going to last much longer than the pandemic situation. this is why i believe restrictions should be eased and if you really don't want to catch covid then you should stay inside. i also think its awful that students are getting a lot of blame for covid when they have just done exactly what university and the government has told them to do

Context: I feel that the cornavirus is quiet worrying and is making it difficult for me to find motivation or reach my goals at the moment. I think I am getting better at being socialiable remotely and have found some work to do as well as being present in a unique situation, however it is still difficult to feel that this is a good environment and I worry about my mental health at present. I think that today has been particularly bad and my sleeping patterns have been very negative with a lot of difficulty getting to sleep and needing a nap in the afternoon.

Context: I am mainly anxious, partly due to the constant to-ing and fro-ing of guidelines and lockdowns. I feel as though I can never become fully settled in my circumstances as I do not know how they quickly and how drastically they will change. I am also anxious about how far in the future I will continue to be affected by the changes to my life due to the pandemic, as I feel it has come at a very formative time in my early adulthood and it scares me that I will never be able to live such important years to the fullest

Context:
Currently, I am very low mood wise. I reply on human contact and family support to get by on a daily basis. I can not do this at the moment with lock down. It is massively effect my own and my daughters mental health. There is no way of knowing when this pandemic will end and it is making it a lot worse not having an end date. It is also making my pregnancy much much harder because I need family memebers for support.
I really dread how the pregnancy will go now with restrictions and not having support during appointments. I can not get important health checks via bloods at all just now because I can not go to get bloods drawn alone.

Context:
I am very concerned and worried for the vulnerable. I am also worried about not being paid enough from work.

Lots of shops, pubs and restaurants will probably fold as a result, which depresses me.

I have had tension headaches for the past two days.

It's very difficult not being able to go out and meet up with friends and family.

I am enjoying getting out in the garden to grow my own food though. I am keeping in touch with my family and friends via WhatsApp, Facebook and phone calls.

I think the government should have locked down earlier.

Context: I feel quite anxious, especially when I watch the news or press conferences about the current situation. I feel anger when I read about people not following the lockdown rules and sadness when I read about the rising death count. I feel particularly worried about elderly family members and when I think about how long the pandemic is likely to last. I also feel quite bored being stuck in the house and miss my friends. I wish we knew when lockdown is likely to be lifted as the uncertainty seems to make it all worse.

Context:
I feel everyone in my country knows what they should be doing to stop the spread and death in this country so if we keep doing that, as most of my friends and relatives are as far as I am aware, then we will be over this in a few months.

I also feel happy that I get to spend time at home learning my skills.

I am still slightly anxious in case I get it as it can be very serious, and my partner works out of the house 5 days a week in a hospital, so that is slightly worrying.

Overall I feel positive though.

Context: I am concerned for people who are vulnerable especially my 94 year old mother-in-law who lives in a nursing home. I am disappointed for my 16 year old daughter who will not be able to sit her GCSEs. Overall I am not overly concerned for my immediate family and an enjoying a short break from work and imposed downtime. I will be happy when normal life resumes. I am u settled not knowing how exam results will be awarded. On s personal level I wish I had clarification as to whether our family holiday in July will go ahead.

Context:
I am very anxious as the schools have literally just re opened and my son is back to school, i am anxious for him about how much time he has missed and how much he has missed his routine and his friends. I am sad because I miss everyone so close to me, i havent seen grandparents for months and my youngest child hasn't seen family in nearly a year and that is half her life wasted and gone from meeting everyone.
I am annoyed and disgusted with the government for taking so long at trying to handle this situation, I am annoyed they are forgetting close friends of mine because they are newly self employed. I am annoyed at managers and business owners whop think the rules do not apply to them. My husband is NOT a key o9r essential worker, so why has he been working this entire time INSIDE peoples houses?! And not having the opportunity to be tested weekly etc.

Context: I feel fed up and a bit hopeless with new virus strains - fearful of the vaccines not helping in the long run and just want it to be over. Desire to go out with my friends as I want to get my life back. It is easy to feel unmotivated to work when there is nothing to look forward to. I do appreciate what I used to have more though - which is a good thing. It is just very isolating and anxiety provoking. i want it to be over to get my life back on track as it can feel upsetting that there is no positive news in the world - this eventually gets on top of you and feels very overwhelming,

Context: Im still have times when I feel upset because of a covid related covid death. I am unsure and anxious about the future because I don't feel the covid situation has changed a lot. The government has not dealt with the crisis and I have no confidence in them.  The whole victim scenario does not actually stop the spread of the virus and to be honest I am not sure how beneficial they are at the moment. I do not think life will ever go back to pre covid normality. Rumours covid wave three is iminant and likely to happen during July/August time . Im not sure how well I could cope with another lockdown.

Context: I am just so worried. I am worried about my family that lives thousands of miles away, I am worried about my mother who lives on her own and still has to go to work. I am worried about my brother who was looking for work just before the crisis began. And I am worried when this will end - will we ever return to normal? Will we go on holiday again? We were so excited to celebrate my graduation this summer and now this won't happen. And any good news, personal and professional, is so rapidly forgotten because you can't celebrate it with anyone.

Context:
I feel that I have Extreme anxiety about the future. Also a fear of illness and catching things from people. I feel worried about what will happen in the future and how the world will be in the next year or so. I feel saddened and sorry about children's lives and how much its been effected.. And I'm also down about how my family haven't seen my baby yet, who is a year old.

There is a slight feeling of hope that the vaccine will work and things will imprive but also just anxiety about everything

Context:
I feel anxious about the current situation because of the uncertainty and how much it has affected our daily lives so far, and we do not know how long it is going to go on for. It is worrying hearing about the current infection rate and the increase in deaths per day. I am also angry at all the people that are completely ignoring the requirements for us to socially distance ourselves from relatives and friends.
I feel worried about the lack of robust information about Covid-19, for example the lack of information on how to 'treat' the virus and fear that way more people are actually infected than the official figures show.

Context:
I am worried about still having to work out of the home in this climate. Not so for the safety of my children not myself.
I wish I could work from home and part of me wishes I even had it so I could stop worrying about what it would be like.

I’ve had to cancel my wedding cause of this so an annoyed about my day being ruined. In fact now tainted so we are having a smaller wedding as I do not think I would enjoy it fully now.

If ty is goes on for too long we will be in finantial trouble. I would like to feel comfortable enough for my children to go to school. Watching the news death toll rise is horrific but I can’t stop watching

Context: I feel extremely anxious. I am a high-risk person as I have multiple auto-immune diseases and I have asthma. I think people do not take it seriously enough and people should be following the rules more carefully. They are putting other peoples lives at risks and it makes me very scared. I worry about the future and how long this will last. Things seem so uncertain right now and it is impossible to tell whether it will get better soon or if it will take a long time for things to go back to how they used to.

Context: I am very anxious about the virus. I am worried about contracting it or passing it to someone else who is vulnerable in my family . I am hoping that the lock down measures in place will start to show a slower spread of the virus.  I am concerned and dismayed that the government in my country did not learn from other countries that had a larger outbreak sooner and impost lock down measures as soon as possible. I feel sad when I hear about the amount of lives the virus has taken already and at the daily rate in my country. I am trying to stay as relaxed as possible but it is hard when we see the news.

Context:
Sad at the time wasted and lives lost.
Hopeful for the vaccines and the lifting of restrictions.
Angry at the ineffective response of the government and the delays and damage this has caused,  in terms of lives lost, jobs lost and businesses destroyed.
Worried about the effects that schools reopening will have on the infection rate.
Looking forward to seeing family and friends again later in the year, hoping that it is safe for us to meet again soon.
Relieved that my family and friends have so far come through this without serious illness.

Context: I feel like I really don't like the uncertainty about it. it makes me anxious. I don't like not knowing when I will see my boyfriend and friends again and I don't like not being at uni. I'm getting bored at home and worried that my impatience will make me irritable and frustrated with my family. I am trying to remain grateful for a garden space and a supportive stable family. I am anxious for my grandparents who are much older, and feel good when I shop for them to help them out. my uni exams make me really worried as they will be online and I am struggling to stay motivated to keep on top of work. I am generally unmotivated to do much, but hate being bored.


Context: Though I am worried about the next few weeks in which I believe the virus will begin to peak in the UK, I am enjoying working from home considerably. The relative peace and quiet in my home environment is a stark contrast to my office and I feel that I can get far more done. As such, I'm completing tasks far more quickly and effectively and have feel less lethargic after a day of work.

Context: I'm sick of staying inside, I'm sick of not being able to do what I want and go where I want. I dislike my job and I was in the process of applying for new jobs but obviously I'm stuck with what I've got now and working from home and I hate it. There's nothing really to take my mind off it other than exercise and it's grim being stuck indoors all day with people that I'd rather not be stuck with constantly to be honest. There's only so many times in a day I can go for a run and then lift weights to try and free my mind without it creeping back onto the current situation

Context: i am worried to contract the virus as my husband had athsma and i dont want him to get ill, we are both self isolating, but i need to shop once a fortnight to get food, i know lots of people who have got ill and died as a result, i have lost my job due to shop having to close and dont know when this will end.  I dont go outside except to garden, there is only so much you can do when you havent got an income to get new plants for the garden.  Such worrying times my daughter is expecting our first grandchild in august and her partner is a teacher and has to work.

Context: I feel anxious about the situation perhaps worsening again. In the last year we have experienced what we thought was a way out of the pandemic only to face new variants of the virus and new waves of infections. I am no longer concerned about people I know becoming seriously ill as all the vulnerable relatives and friends have been vaccinated. I am however concerned about getting the virus and potentially suffering from 'long covid'. I am also feeling 'burned out' and worn down by the lack of freedom to live my normal life. I am looking forward to some restrictions being lifted so that I can see friends and family. When it comes to working from home I am happy with that on the whole and would like to return to the office ideally only once a week.

Context: I am anxious about people dying and being seriously ill, particularly people I care about. I worry about my parents and grandmother. However,in terms of the economic consequences, I think this could be a good thing in the medium to long term. We may have a fundamental rethink as to how we structure our economy and compensate certain workers. As somebody who owns no assets currently, we may also get a long overdue drop in house prices which would be very welcome for me and I'm sure millions of workers who currently feel left behind.

Context: At the moment I feel quite anxious about Corona, I don't really believe the numbers on the tv about the number of people vaccinated as had a nightmare booking my older parents in for a vaccine. It feels like a lot of the older generation has been forgotten about, so makes me think at the moment it's all very disorganized. The schools go back on Monday and I worry that the number of infections might get sky high again. I want to have some sort of life this year but not sure it will be possible with Covid which makes me quite depressed at the moment.

Context: Anxious about the future and the financial impact this has caused and how long this will all take to pay off. The poor political decisions that has led to so many deaths. How the rich get richer even during a pandemic and the poor get poorer or are more likely to die. How society is more divided than ever before and will the eventually be a fracture point. How people can ignore the rule of law and very little seems to happen to them. How the rich and powerful and celebrities can get away with bending or breaking the rules while the rest of use have to pay the price.

Context: I am 65 but have not left the house for 3 weeks apart from a walk.   I am finding the whole thing frightening and scary,  as what will happen when we are all allowed out of lockdown,  will it still be around and am I likely to catch it.  Now Boris Johnson is very poorly it has made me very jittery poor man,  brings home how anybody can be affected and he was saying eariler he had only mild symptons yet a week later he is in ICU.   I wake up in the mornings and realise this is not all a dream just the reality of 2020 I just hope me and my family get through this.

Context: Fed up, restricted and bored. It's been going on too long. We are an Island and we should have locked down in the beginning to prevent it spreading. Lockdown should have been stricter as people don't take proper notice and penalties larger. NHS staff feel let down. All the work they have done has been thrown back in their faces. Instead of people on universal credit being given a pay rise for sitting on their arses for a year, it should have been given to those on the front line, risking their lives. Now I do feel angry.

Context: I'm not worried about contracting the virus but i am worried about passing it on to other people and vulnerable family members. I wish people would stay in there homes when they can and stop being selfish. I like the sense of community in these hard times like online pub quizzes and the hard work carried out by key workers. I miss seeing friends and going shopping whenever i want but i'm enjoying spending time with my family right now and i know everything will be okay again soon. I think the government were too slow to act on the pandemic but feel that they are now taking the right precautions.

Context: I feel a bit optimistic about coming out of lockdown and looking forward to seeing and hugging family. It's great that lots of people have had vaccines now. But I feel anxious as I don't want to get my hopes up in case the timeframes get delayed. I also feel anxious about things eventually returning to normal as it's just been such a long time now! I'm not sure I can remember how to be sociable and chat to people!

Context: I am nervous about the impact of the virus on my family and friends, but I'm also highly frustrated by the restrictions put in place. It has made my job very challenging through working at home, and has added a greater number of obstacles. I fully support the restrictions, but I fear it will damage the relationship my baby daughter has with family members and hinder her development. In terms of my own risk of infection, and any subsequent complications, I am fairly secure in my ability to fight it off, even if I'm unlucky enough to contract it. I have no underlying health issues and generally respond well to illness. My main concerns centre around my parents and their ability to survive should they contract it.

Context: As I live with my grandparents, I feel worried for them as they already have underlying health problems. I feel anxious with the economy and the huge impact this is already having on it. I am starting to feel lonely as I am stuck inside all day unable to see any of my friends. However, I am getting used to isolation and I believe this could benefit me as it might help me feel more comfortable and happy by being by myself. I also feel worried as the death toll increases by a lot daily and shows no signs of slowing down.

Context:
My current feelings on the Corona sitiuation right now is mostly anxiety over catching it myself. I'm also unsure about the future as my workplace has closed. We don’t know how exactly we’ll be impacted or how bad things might get so i am also facing a lot of uncertainty.
I am staying home as much as possible, even though I don’t feel sick. So there is also the fact of being lonely. keeping a 6 foot distance between myself and others when out is also a very strange new concept. I have been maintaining a routine as best as I can. Even though I am stuck at home. Trying to stick to my regular sleep patterns etc.

Context: At the moment I feel like the end is coming, but now, I feel worried about what the world will look like after wards. Will we ever have the world as we knew it before? I'm excited to see family and friends, but there are many that have been permanently affected by all this and I'm worried they won't be how I remember them. I'm scared for losing my time and my comfort blanket of isolation. I'm scared about going back to work as I've had so much time off I'm completely re-evaluating what I want to do.

Context: It is a very scary time for everyone, I have an elderly grandma and a young baby I have to shop for. It is scary going out but at the same time I also need to. I think lock down needs to be harder and stop exercise while ever we are allowing people to walk in parks they will flock on nice days, with friends from other house holds. It angers me when I see people in groups you know are not from the same household. It is very worrying but it will get better in time. We all just need to focus very hard on supporting the nhs and staying at home!

Context:
This virus is causing my household much anxiety, worry and anger between myself and husband. As we are both not working in the meantime, we are stuck in limbo. All my husband does is sits in front of telly all day with a pack of lager while I am doing all the household chores.
I am becoming more agitated every passing day. I can only pray this virus gets a cure very soon. Every day I watch the same rubbish telly programmes, listen to the daily update from the Government but still hoping our lock down will end soon.

Context: I feel anxious about what is to come and how this will plan out, the stress it has put on me financially is huge and has left me jobless with no way to claim. It’s an extremely sad time for everyone, those who are losing family and friends more so, but we’re trying our best to stay safe and isolated as hard as it may be. I suffer extreme anxiety when going shopping in case I’m not able to get the essentials, and I worry for my family and friends well being every day. I believe the government are taking correct action to help stop this virus, however people are still not listening so the rules should be made more strict, as reality still hasn’t hit home for a lot of people and maybe this will help that. I feel lonely, even though I am not alone, I miss my friends and my family, but I know this is in their best interest that we keep our distance.

Context: I am still very worried about the coronavirus but am pleased that the infection rate is going down and so is the admittance to hospital. I have already received my first vaccine jab and am glad lots of other people have also taken the oppportunity to get this. I will be glad when things can start to return to normal and we can spend time with our friends and family again and I can return to work as normal. I have been working from home for a year now. I started a new job in May so have yet to meet my colleagues in person.

Context:
Incredibly sad that the world will never be the same again - and fearful for what will remain when we leave lockdown.  The isolation didn't bother me at first but living alone can be a lonely experience.  It is the not knowing when normal life will resume that is the most difficult aspect of this whole thing to comprehend and absorb.

I feel terribly sorry and appreciate all the good work that all of our emergency services are currently doing - From the nhs to the police to all retail employees - they are making a horrible situation bearable for everybody else, and putting themselves at risk whilst doing it - This is a really thankless task that they are undertaking and we all really appreciate it

Context: I am anxious for how this will continue to affect life in the future. I am fearful that loved ones might die. I am worried that our financial security will be affected. But, I am also cherishing the quality time I am getting to spend with my children, and I am quite enjoying home schooling them, in between home working. I miss my friends and family, and I miss going out for meals or to the beach. I love to travel, so I am sad that we are missing on our holiday, but it's worth it if we can help to stop the spread of the disease.

Context:
At the moment, I feel very worried that people are not taking it seriously enough, which subsequently means a lockdown will carry on for longer and longer. I also worry for my family in case they contract this virus or if a member of my family is carrying this virus without knowing.

I also am a bit disgusted that some people are only putting more of an effort into their personal hygiene now due to a disease and didn’t put any or much effort in to this beforehand.

Times like these are the only times keyworkers or services such as the NHS or Emergency Services are receiving any sort of recognition, usually their work goes completely unnoticed.

Context: i am still worried about covid, i am slightly hopeful that the vaccines will help things get back to normal soon,  i want to be able to travel bt am worried about getting vaccine passports as no one seems to know how it will work, generally i feel more optimistic than a few months ago but i do still feel anxious.  i am still worried about another wave coming once people start to mix and i hope people will be sensible but i think as soon as shops open people will go crazy and forget about taking precautions

Context:
Incredibly stressed and worried for the future, politically, financially and educationally.  Upset about potential consequences for family and whether we’ll all see each other again. Stressed about finances as 80% wages only just covers costs, nothing to fix the car if it breaks or to visit the vets if there’s a problem with the cats.
I keep imagining 4-500 years into the future where aliens send away teams to explore Earth which has no sign of human life and discover our current situation. I watch far too much sci-fi!

Context: I'm more confused about it than I was last year. I've seen more and more information from others on social media that it's fake and it's time to open up again. I've also spoken with others who aren't going to have the vaccine. I will have the vaccine, although worry about it making me ill in the short term. I worry about the talk of vaccine passports, whilst I can see the benefit for protecting the vulnerable. There is enough division in the world already with apparent black vs white; men vs women; rich vs poor. It just seems to be something else that may divide the population. Which makes me sad. I wish everyone could respect others opinions without the violence and everything else that goes with it.

Context:
I am very worried about the health of my family and friends. I'm extremely anxious. I'm worried about my son not being at school and missing his friends. When he goes back it will be like him starting school all over again. I miss my family but I know that what we are doing is for the best.i can't wait for this to all be over. I'm very saddened by the amount of people who have died and been affected by this.
The NHS have been absolutely amazing at this trying time. Also key workers. They are all risking their lives for us.

Context: I am very optimistic due to the vaccine rollout. Its been a very hard year but its positive we can see the end and hopefully this means that summer we can enjoy a stressed free period where everyone is enjoying life. I just hope that people stick to rules and not be stupid when restrictions start loosening up as I know that some people can be a bit stupid and think its an opportunity to hold parties etc. I know i wish this wont happen but there will be people who will do this and that frustrates me extreamly.

Context: I feel it is the unknown about the situation that makes me feel anxious about the world at the moment. If there was a definitive end date when the world would return to normal and everything was as it was people to the pandemic I would be far more happy, regardless of the length of time it could take. Not knowing when this is going to be frustrating me as I'm a person who likes to feel under control. As a family it is very difficult to speak to other members of the family without feeling upset and/or frustration at not being able to see them on a regular basis, which i have done previous to the breakup of the pandemic.

Context: Global disaster that doesn’t affect you until it does. I don’t know anyone who has had or has it, yet it clearly affects a lot of people. I’m looking forward to life getting back to normal as it’s difficult juggling working from home and raising my child. I mostly just feel tired and lethargic, staying indoors is energy sapping. I worry about myself getting it, mainly because I don’t want to be fully quarantined for two weeks. Throughout it all I have to wonder how this thing really started, and how long it’s really been around for.


Context: I'm satisfied that I'm doing all I can to avoid contracting or spreading the disease, so I try not to scare myself with worst-case scenarios. I'm surprised to feel supportive of the UK government's response to the epidemic and some admiration for the prime minister - to whose other policies I am strongly opposed. I am trying to use my time in lockdown to good effect but finding it harder than usual to concentrate. I have one daughter living in Madrid who is okay, but obviously I am worried about her. I have another daughter in the UK who is recovering from a mild case of Covid-19, so feel relieved about her recovery.

Context:
I feel a little stressed by it all, I would like to go outside and have my freedom back and just do normal things again. The issue of grocery shopping is a stress too, as it is almost impossible to get a delivery slot, so I may need to go to the supermarket, which is not exactly in keeping with the lockdown and social distancing.
It feels a little claustrophobic at times being stuck indoors.
I feel that it will take a lot longer than most people think to get back to normal, with a longer lockdown than anticipated.

Context: I am very anxious about Coronavirus. I am scared and anxious that I will get it and die because the news keeps talking about young people dying. Every time I have a slight tickle in my throat or cough I think I have got it. I am worried about my financial situation as my partner cannot longer work and we also have a young daughter and I am worried about her too. I don’t want my daughter to be left without parents. She doesn’t understand what is going on and it’s hard to explain because she’s only two so she doesn’t know why she can’t see her family members that she loves.

Context:
After having been in lockdown/isolating at home etc. for more than 2 weeks, I feel like people are only just beginning to take Coronavirus seriously. I feel a little bit angry/resentful towards people whom haven't taken it seriously or whom have been ignoring the lockdown, and thus putting themselves and most importantly other people at risk.
I feel quite bored and restless, having had to stay at home for so long, however I think this is a small price to pay to help minimise the impact of the virus. I also feel a bit anxious about the whole situation, particularly as I live with my 2 parents, both of whom would be classified as more vulnerable to severe symptoms if infected with Coronavirus. They rely on me to do their food shopping etc., which is not a big problem, however I feel a strong responsibility to ensure I don't take any risks myself, due to the fear of infecting them.
Having been furloughed just 3 days ago, I'm also somewhat worried about the impact of the Coronavirus situation on my job as an offshore oil and gas worker, and I'm afraid of possibly not having a job to go back to once the situation does recede to a point where people can return to work etc.

Context: I am feeling very anxious about the whole situation both personally and for my country. I am very worried about the effect it is having on my family and young child and for the future. I am also fearful for what will happen to my country the UK especially as our Prime Minister is now unwell. I also feel a little angry at how this situation has arisen and if anyone or anything is responsible for it and if there was anything we could have done to prevent it. I am also sad as I can’t see my extended family at this time.

Context: I am stressed and anxious as I am struggling financially and can't see an end to the whole mess the country is in.  My income dropped due to covid and I have been unable to find a job with more hours. There is no clear guidance so things just seem unsure and unstable.  So may people have been affected by mental health and are spiralling deeper in to a bad place. Financially the country seems in an unstable state.  I am feeling more anxious and irritable on a daily basis.  Other countries seem to have light at the end of the tunnel and we are still in limbo

Context: I have a constant feeling of underlying anxiety and uncertainty. I can’t quite place what the anxiety is but have a feeling of an impending doom the whole time. I feel immense relief in moments when I process that nothing bad is happening but then I slip back. I am definitely anxious about returning to crowds and commuting. I spend more time now analysing and feeling bad about gaps in my life than ever before. I realise I have not felt happy or with joy for a very long time. I feel less anxious about the virus itself and more about the longer term impacts on society and the economy and the impacts on children. I am more aware of the vulnerability of older relatives and this makes me more anxious about time apart or disagreements over issues such as brexit and politics.

Context: i  am worried and am lonely in the house on my own. I am worried about food being available and money to pay my bills. How long is this stay at home going to last? I am worried about automation and possible universal basic income. I can only hope they do not cut off the internet as it is the only means of me talking to someone and getting news. I am worries also for the old people as they are dropping off like flies. I also feel sad as I cannot talk to anybody which is not good as I am not in a good mental state.,

Context:
I feel like this situation is bad in regards to needless loss of life. It also has a positive, it allows us all to slow down and LIVE LIFE rather than constantly doing the same cycle of work and no term for our families.
It allows us to see what's really important, we are all vulnerable and time is not replaceable, our jobs will replace us, it's time to slow down and appreciate the simple things in life.
It's a shame that our government took a little longer to tell people to stay home. They made a big mistake not checking people at airports when they arrived.

Context:
At the moment, I feel worried about how long this situation will last. How long can we stay in a state of panic. Annoyed with people clearing the shelves in the shops making it difficult for people to buy what they need. Feel sadness that I cannot see the people that I love. My mental state varies day to day.
I think the people that are not complying to the rules are the ones that will cause the issue to become bigger than what it needs to be.
I think the government could have been quicker with actions as we could see this coming and we could of had minimal effect, if actions were done before we had a confirmed case.

Context: I feel concerned and a lot of stressful thoughts go through my head like how i’m going to pay my bills and how I might have to resign from my job because i’ve had to move out of my student accommodation and stay at my boyfriends house which is 2 hours away from my work place. Stress from deadlines and exams are also very prevalent. My brother is showing mild symptoms of Covid so that just adds more stress. I miss my friends so much and i don’t know when i’m going to see them again because i doubt they will return to London after the lockdown is over. My boyfriend helps me through the stress and it’s the first time we’re staying with each other and it’s quite fun but i get bored sometimes.

Context:
I feel stressed about the additional work it's resulted in as a key worker but am working from home and not going out unless absolutely necessary which has stopped me worrying as much.

I remain hopeful that the pandemic will be over if everyone abides by the rules and I feel like I'm not missing out on anything as most places are closed.

I am concerned about how some individuals are disregarding the health and safety of others although I believe they are finally starting to understand the impact. I think we, as a nation, are doing what we can and I am absolutely positive that we will get through it.

Context:
Very anxious in relation to my partner who has asthma and my holidays. As a key worker within the UK, I am placed at risk and although there is “working from home” I do have to travel to the office at times to support the service. It only takes one dose and I could die or those who I love and care for. I am currently not seeing my fiancé as he is asthmatic. I have not seen him for 3 weeks and this is difficult.
The governments response has angered me in relation to the funding of self-employed people who knew the risks of being self-employed and yet the system will now pay for them.

Context: It has changed the whole dynamic of life giving an uncertainty and unease in everything I do both in my personal and work life. Also having to be strong for my children so they don't worry does create additional anxiety and also having to hide my worry and concern from them is difficult but they should not have to experience this worst of this and how it affects people both medically and mentally. What keeps me going is knowing this is a once in a lifetime event so just need to ride it out and hope everything will get better in the future.

Context:
I'm feeling quite anxious about coming out of lockdown and wondering if it's too soon.
Everyone I know appears to be pleased that there seems to be an end on the horizon but I can't help thinking that we should be being more cautious and taking things a bit slower.
I would like some level of normality to return but I don't expect it will be anything like what it used to be. Restrictions and this way of living make me feel out of control of my own life and the way I like things to be done.
I fully anticipate that we will be locked down again in the future despite assurances that this will not happen again and we will continue to move forward.

Context: Corona makes me feel sad for all the people who have lost their lives.  It makes me angry that not everyone follows the guidelines which results in everybody having to suffer with lockdowns.  I worry about my family and work colleagues getting it and having to suffer.  The anxiety about working with little children is hard not knowing if they are carrying it and I can catch it.  Hopefully with the vaccine better days will come and a light may well be at the end of the tunnel. Corona has ended all the fun and enjoyment out of life and I can’t wait to start getting back to normal.

Context:
I believe not everyone is pulling their wait in social distancing. If you look at how Germany and S Korea have handled it they have an extremely low mortality rate. Their citizens have followed the rules and they are gonna come out of this situation sooner than other countries.

I think people are not told enough information. I work in a supermarket and the amount of people who come in wearing gloves is unbelievable, surely people need to learn that they are not protecting others and are just spreading the virus more. Washing your hands is the best way to keep us all safe.

Context: I feel that the situation has been handled terribly by the world's governments, putting measures into place far too late to be useful. The United Kingdom government has been especially guilty of this, as well as our prime minister Boris Johnson making stupid decisions (such as shaking hands with KNOWN coronavirus patients) and ending up contracting the coronavirus himself.

Context: I feel like we are close to the end with lockdowns nationally which makes me feel like I have something to look forward too, I do still feel worried about the circumstances in the UK on the cases and deaths daily. However, I do feel happy I have been vaccinated now and just want it to be over. I feel like I have missed many events over the last year such as big celebrations in my family, holidays abroad with my boyfriend and just want normality. I am worried this summer leaving university and the current employment in our country with Covid

Context: At the moment I feel nervous and afraid that I might never see my granddaughters child. My daughter lives in Canada with 3 children and I might never see them again. My wife and I are both in the high risk category and neither wants to be left alone. My focus is entirely on the effect that the current disease has on them and their and my future. Alyhough I am totally self isolating it seems that the true possibility for the transmission of the diseease is unknown. iT truly is the silent killer. The media seem obsessed with dramatising the current situation and constantly are seeking the 'have you stopped beating your wife' question rather than asking the questions that the public want the answers to.

Context:
I feel anxious about coronavirus but also hopeful that things are getting better. Im relieved my parents who are both shielding are having their 2nd vaccine next week. Feeling that things are happening proactively rather than sitting helplessly.

I have some anger at those people who aren't abiding by the lockdown restrictions when the risks are still there.

I am happy that schools are back however my daughter is already complaining of a cold and sore throat - i am worried that its only a matter of time before the schools close again.

Context: I feel very annoyed about having my freedom taken away. I am sick of being stuck at home with my children. I think it’s an over reaction. I feel the huge loss of jobs, the crumbling economy and the impact on cancer patients not getting treated, is just so we can stop eighty year olds from getting the virus and potentially dying. The elderly and those with underlying health conditions should stay home rather than the entire country. People should be given the choice. How long can this go on for and when are we getting an exit date?

Context:
I felt more anxiety last week as I felt the government had not done enough. The fact that Europe's situation is improving has made me less anxious. I feel frustration that the government should have done more to prepare like the German government

Following the news, it appears that we are approaching the peak and appear to have avoided as bad an outbreak in Italy or Spain.

I still feel anxious about my economic situation and the aftermath of the lockdown. I have kept my job for now but if the lockdown continues I worry about losing my job which I had just started two months ago and which took a lot of effort to get after many months of interviews.

I do not have any family at severe risk in this crisis which has made it a less stressful time for me, but the overall effects of this crisis are still depressing particularly the young victims

Context:
Nervous and worried,for the future but also hoping for the best, the world might look a little different afterwards but will mostly be the same. Working from home is an unexpected bonus, that makes life easier knowing you are able to stay at home and avoid the virus.
Things look to be heading the right way in the UK at least, so I don't think it will be too long before things go back to 'normal'. Hopefully the death rate decreases in the following days and lockdown measures can be relaxed. Hopefully the virus can be stopped permanently with a vaccine and we won't have to live in a world where this is the new normal.

Context: From seeing the daily death rate increasing and people still getting infected is not great, plus with some of the public still believing they are 'immune' or the lockown rules don't apply to them is frustrating for all who are trying to handle the situation. The press inform regularly but not to the level of scaring people into a frenzy. Panic buying has declined a great deal, social distancing seems to work for a high majority where I live but some still don't get the need to look after themselves and each other. Have signed a petition to see if live animal markets have tighter controls if not banned in China, as I believe that countries with this level of mentality should know better, change their barbaric ways. I understand food sources are a requirement, but needs far better control especially where the pandemic has run rife throughout the world (this all depends on truth of the source of covid19)

Context:
I am anxious for the safety of me and my loved ones. I am angry at my employer for their attitude to staff. They have not been protecting their employees or assisting them in working from home. I am very careful about who I am in contact with at the moment.

I believe that the government have not done enough to protect its citizens in the United Kingdom. The workers in the National Health Service are doing an outstanding job, for which we should all be very grateful.

I don't have anything else to say.

Context: I'm still very worried about the situation, but also glad the so many people have had the Vaccine. My mum and dad have both had their first vaccine, this makes me so happy and I can wait to be offered mine. My grandma on the other hand is 84 and is refusing to have it. This makes me very scared. I have had very mixed emotions.  I just dont see an end to any of it. My sons has missed a whole year of his life and watching him go from an confident little boy to a very anxious little boy is heartbreaking and there is nothing I can do about it.

Context: I feel worried about what is going to happen to the country and how it's going to affect my life. I don't worry too much about getting the virus but I worry that my parents might. I think the future economic problems will be very bad though and we don't know quite how bad yet. I feel quite constricted, on the news they have lots of items about people ignoring the social distancing rules or being fined and I worry that the government will ban all outdoor exercise and I'll be even more constricted. I think people are getting overly angry at these ""bad"" people in society because there's nothing else for them to get angry at really and that worries me. Most of the people dying now will have caught the virus before the country went into lockdown so I feel their anger is misplaced. On top of all this they've cancelled all visa processing so I'm worried about when my spouse will be able to get their visa and come to the UK.

Context: I’m scared. I’m scared that if myself, my husband or my young kids get ill that we’ll be separated. I’m scared of what the world looks like on the other side of this. I’m scared my elderly parents in Australia might fall ill and I’ll be trapped in the UK. I’m sad that my Pop in Australia is about to turn 100 and won’t be able to see any of his family. I feel sorry for the NHS workers who jobs place them in an environment surrounded by this virus. I feel safe in my little bubble, in my house, garden and local park but as anxious when the groceries are delivered. I am thankful I can still get deliveries. I’m thankful I gave birth three months ago when i could choose a homebirth with my family close by. I am happy when online purchases arrive as it feels like a slice of the normal but feel guilty that they may not be considered essential and are wasting the resources of the mail service. I feel guilty that I’m on maternity leave and not working even though my job isn’t one as a key worker

Context: I think that's it's scary that people are not adhering to the lockdown rules, making the problem worse and spreading the virus even more. I feel this may go on for longer than necessary, people should listen to the guidelines. This is something that will have detrimental effect on the world. Economy and everyone's wellbeing, i feel life will never be the same again!!!! I can't say anymore, i just want people to stay at home, stay safe, save lives and save the NHS!! Listen and adhere!!  The World Health Organisation and Public Health England have also warned there is no need to panic buy face masks, latex gloves or other extreme protective gear if you practise good basic hygiene like regularly washing your hands and covering your mouth and nose if you cough.

Context:
I am concerned about the effects of the virus on the world as a whole as well as in my own country. I really hope we can slow the spread of the disease and hopefully find a cure before things get too bad. I am not too concerned for my own health but I don't want to take any risks!

There is also a considerable financial concern. I am currently not working and the things that I had lined up to do this year are now no longer possible. Things like travel, festival word and other paid opportunities that now cannot happen.

Because of this I need to look for new and different opportunities as we have no idea when any of the things that I had wanted to do will be possible!

Context: I feel sadness that I'm unable to see my family at this time as well as being 8 months pregnant and the possibility of no one being able to see the baby until she is out of newborn stage is sad. I'm anxious I may contract the virus and cause harm to my baby and/or family. I'm also stressed at how I will fill my days and entertain a 3 year old until we are out of lockdown. I feel robbed of my final weeks of pregnancy, I cannot enjoy them as much as I had planned to. I'm also concerned financially that we will be unable to make itand that times will be tough by the time the baby arrives which will add extra pressure to a situation that should be enjoyable.

Context: I'm very worried about the situation at the moment. I worry that my family or myself will catch this virus and more and more don;t know how people will react and who will get very sick and even die. I'm apart from my parents and in laws and worried that they're going out and at risk. I'm grateful that I'm able to work remotely and provide for my family also. I worry about what will happen when lockdown ends and we're expected to return to semi normal and what that will look like. I'm worried about how the state our economy will be in after all this.

Context: Still worried about my family getting covid, especially elderly parents. Also very worried about the effects on mental health from this pandemic especially on my teenager child from being so isolated. still worried about the long term economic effects from this pandemic - talking to people who are struggling daily through my work.  Hoping the vacinations can happen soon but worried that the take up will not be enough to provide herd immuty........................................................................................

Context: I feel very anxious about what is going on around us, I can't even turn on the TV due to anxiety. Being inside is very mentally draining and I am not motivated to do anything. I'm angry that the government seems to have been slow to put in place and I'm angrier still that people are going for picnics and sunbathing as part of their daily exercise. People on my street are still going to the local shop daily for a paper. I am afraid we will end up like Italy or Spain, and I'm afraid we won't go back ""to normal"" for a long time. I really want it to be over, and I know others do too. It's very painful to watch.

Context:
I'm anxious for family members and friends as don't want anyone to get sick or worse.  I'm tired of lockdown, especially as I live alone as it's hard sometimes.   I'm trying to remain hopeful that the vacccinations and ongoing lockdown will allow us to return to some kind of normality this year.  I really want to be able to see my friends and family again, and properly so be able to hug them and just spend quality time with them.
I've been lucky that I've been able to work from home throughout which is good from a safety and financial point of view.  It does however bring it's own challenges, from a technological point of view and having no interaction with  people in a physical sense.  Can be a bit lonely at times
