Context: Overall I am not very worried about the current situation as there has been several other diseases that have had the same effect on humanity, I think the severity was blown massively out of proportion, whilst it is still important to be aware, the lockdown situation has lasted way too long. I think that the government has handled it really well regardless of all of the negative comments from the labour supporters as it is a never before seen disease and no government would have been able to prepare for it given the time frame they had especially with the border traffic we have as a country

Context: I think it is a good time for people to rethink their lives, career choices, and financial situations.  People will be able to relax and spend time with their household.  It is scary but only positive thinking will get us further than we were.  We have to work together against it and follow guidelines.  I don't think people will necessarily think about things the same way as they did pre coronavirus.  People's lives and the way we view things could be drastically changed after this.  People should be focused on their health and wellbeing at this time and be reminded that refocusing on what they want should be first and foremost.

Context: I feel a bit overwhelmed as I am just watching the news come in about the death toll but for the most  part right now I feel relaxed and reassured about the situation. I do feel some frustration because I cant go and do what I'd normally do but I'm happy to be healthy and with my family who are also healthy. Also happy because I've had a productive day despite the circumstances. my feelings fluctuate a lot but in this current moment I feel happy and reassured but a little bit cooped up because the weather is so nice and I cant go and sit on the beach. But I'm happy to stay inside if it keeps me safe and others safe

Context: i am still feeling  a little anxious at the current situation  but less than this time last year but my more concern for my son who has asthma than myself.i am definitley ready to get back to seeing people again, living in a different town from all my friends and family has made the situation extremely difficult. the tier system does not allow us to visit them which has been very hard on me and especially my son unfortunately it would appear that the tier system will remain in place for the significant future.

Context:
I'm feeling very optimistic, although still a little disappointed that many people still aren't taking it seriously in the area I live.  Since March 2020 I've seen many carrying on as normal. On saying that, as a family, we have followed all guidelines and restrictions in an attempt to protect ourselves and do our bit. I don't think the restrictions have been enforced enough and the ignorance of done people is shocking.
I'm looking forward to returning to normality, although I'm not in any rush. But...I can honestly say that there are some people I won't be in a hurry to see and won't hide my feelings to how badly they've acted towards the pandemic.

Context: I feel okay at this moment and I am not particularly worried about the coronavirus situation. I'm distracted with other things and enjoying the extra time I have. It's a nice sunny day which helps. 500 characters really seems quite a lot more than just a few sentences. I am not sure that was a fair limit to set. I don't have anything else to say. 500 characters really seems quite a lot more than just a few sentences. I am not sure that was a fair limit to set. I don't have anything else to say.

Context: I am feeling happy and positive about my three children going back to school and life returning to more normal and coming out of lockdown. I am also going for my vaccine later this morning. The news seems to be more positive in the last few weeks about cases and deaths falling to lower numbers so that is a good sign. I am a little anxious about my children settling back into school and having to have the lateral flow tests (my two older secondary school children). I have got a new job online tutoring so am happy to work from home for longer now.

Context: The Corona virus is causing a great deal of suffering for people across the world and is going to affect each and every one of us in some way.  I really hope we can all use it to review the ways we have been living and the things we have taken for granted and change the way we live our lives for the better into the future.  We need to look after the most vulnerable in these times and protect those who care for us when we need it.  Hopefully this will give the people of the world a renewed perspective on what is really important to us as humans.

Context:
I feel concerned but less than I did. I had a rough few months last year feeling really sad and anxious about everything going on, but The concern that I did have is outweighed now by being excited and optimistic for the next few months. I can't wait to see my family and friends again and for things to get back to normal. I've had a good couple of months because I bought my first home and that has kept me very busy, which I'm incredibly grateful for.
I'm also really impressed at how quickly the vaccines are being rolled out and I'm pleased that my parents are having theirs soon.

Context:
I am somewhat worried about how things will progress and whether there will be pressure to return to the workplace before I feel safe. I am worried about the behaviour of others and not being able to keep my loved ones safe.

I am sad that I haven't seen some family members who live abroad and that we had to postpone our own wedding but ultimately grateful that my loved ones have remained safe to date and financially secure.

I am mindful that not everybody has coped as well as I have or had as many positive aspects such as increased family time in my household which I am forever grateful for.

Context: The UK has received a lot of flak for the vaccine situation before the eu got any but I think the eu has shown to the entire world what type of people they are... insincere and dishonest.  I am feeling very good at this moment in time.  I have now had the 1st part of the vaccine and now await the last one.  The UK has found that we are in a small minority whose deaths are vastly reduced and the lockdown is working very well along with the vaccine programme. I am extremely hopeful that we are doing the correct regime for the numbers to come down and look forward to getting back to a more relaxed and wholesome life soon!

Context:
I feel conflicted about the corona predicament. I feel as a nation and globally whether this pandemic had been addressed adequately or whether we have to live with this as a new norm.

The U.K. government and counties have implemented social changes to reduce the spread of the virus. This includes social distancing, closures of hospitality, schools and offices, with the views to reduce to the spread of the virus. I feel that some of these changes have brought “fruits to bear” that is to say the numbers of deaths, those effected directly and indirectly have seen a vast reduction of the virus spread. However, I feel that the government, have not acted quickly when needed.

There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the situation. Even though there has been efforts made to control it, it is still unclear on what the foreseeable future is.

Context: I feel its gotten a lot better esp with the vaccine rollout. but i also feel lie another wave is inevitable because corona will never go away so i feel we just need to start learning how to live with it and once the vaccine rollout has been given to everyone (or at least most people), then we should just carry on with life. i am a lot less anxious though and i feel im less scared to leave the house. i feel everything starting up again. the only thing i am worried about now is post corona life such as the employment market

Context: I’m scared of the thought of ‘normality’ not becoming relating for a while. I’m annoyed because selfish people are prolonging out chances of this. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that some people think they’re exempt from the rules and are still going out and doing as they please like Coronavirus doesn’t exist. But overall I’m very lucky because I’ve been able to continue going to work which has given me a routine to stick with, allowing me to still look forward to weekends and time off. I’m grateful that I’ve been able to spend this time with my family, however now being able to see my boyfriend has been quite sad, but it makes me more excited for the time that we can spend together when the rules change.

Context: I dont have any negative emotions about the current situation. Being informed by borris jhonson that we will be able to go back to normal is very reassuring. Have not felt better than how i feel now for months and am honestly happy. Having stats prove that the situation is getting better has also been very informative and helps calm me down. Not being able to go to the gym has had a negative effect on me and will be happy to go to the gym in april. I dont neccercarily have anything more to add.

Context:
Too much talking and panicking about it in the media. There is no other news. keep repeating numbers that are different every day. that's not good for people's health. I am watching news once a day. Nothing else. Seeing people walking around and obeying instruction given by the government make me feel surprise.
As I am currently indoors forced to go on gov. scheme I am trying to get as much from as I can. Small flat repairs and enjoying sun on my balcony. As much as people may think those instruction did not affect my life that much. Did not affect at all. And fnally toilet paper is back on the shelves ;)
Currently forced to be home but as we are expecting baby I am quite relaxed and impatient. I have all sort of emotion as any Dad to be would feel. Excitement, Fear, Praying that everything will go well and my both girls will be back home with me at the end of this month.

Context: I’m feeling the most positive about the situation since this all started a year ago. We have vaccines now which are being well rolled out and there is a roadmap to reopening shops etc and getting life back to a more normal state. Cases are dropping as are deaths which is reassuring and joyful to hear. There is finally light at the end of a very long tunnel and I’m excited to get my jab and be able to meet up with friends, family and colleagues and do things in real life again as opposed to virtually.

Context: Finishing work at my dining table. Lovely to hear my kids playing on the trampoline outside and to chat with husband. Enjoying saving cash in things like gym membership so we can build up our emergency fund. Checking the news occasionally but not all the time so no one is getting anxious about the current situation. Enjoying the sunny weather today and having extra time to enjoy it at home now I’m not commuting. Planning to pot up my tomato plants at 5pm when I finish work at my laptop. My garden has never been so weed-free so I’m happy about that

Context:
I just want it to be over and to return to normal life as soon as possible although I understand this may take some time. I feel tired of the current situation but I feel there is finally some light at the end of the tunnel with the vaccine etc. I just hope we don't go into another lockdown once this one has eventually been lifted.
I'm glad that at least I can see my parents as we are in a childcare bubble and that they have had the vaccine. I think there has been quite a bit of stress caused not just by the pandemic but the Government handling of it through each stage we seem to have been behind the curve.

Context: In my opinion I believe that as long as everyone follows the current Government guidelines regarding social distancing then we should be back to our normal lives soon enough. I hope this happens sooner rather than later as I have recently had a new born baby son and my and my partners family have not been able to see him yet as well as all of our close friends. I am not too worried at the moment about contracting coronavirus as my whole family and I are following the government guidelines and are not unnecessarily coming into contact with other people.

Context: I am hopeful things in the UK are improving but worried the Westminster Govt will open up activity too soon. Worldwide, too many people are travelling already and some countries are way behind in their vaccination programmes. Overall I am concerned that we are seeing a false dawn with another bad wave of deaths to come, especially with new variants. Some people still don't get it and are acting irresponsibly. This virus has not finished with us yet. It seems to be a very adaptable virus and will have a few more changes up its sleeve yet. I am cautious about starting to move about more freely yet.

Context:
I have been very lucky. I am still working - I am a front-line worker so have mostly still been able to support my clients in person. But I am also an introvert and the lack of social events has not been difficult for me. I have enjoyed much of the time to myself to rethink my life and my values.
I do worry about my loved ones but I know they are taking many precautions and looking after themselves to protect against the virus.
I also feel sad for those who have lost their lives and have suffered. And I miss large gatherings in cities, the travel, the cinema, museums and just the general energy of being anonymous in a large world.
Although I have personally struggled with the changes, I overall feel happy to have survived and I appreciate the perspective that this situation has afforded me.

Context: It is improving and we have our jabs on Sunday, very grateful we live in the UK rather than the eu.  We have succeeded where the eu have failed and then they have tried to blame it on us which is ridiculous.  Yes, we could have done better at the start, but now we are streets ahead of the idiots within the eu.  I cannot write much more, you have the idiots that do not think the rules apply to them obviously, like the SNP MP Margaret Ferrier, sure Sturgeon paid her to go to Westminster on the train and try to spread it around in England, she risked lives by doing what she did.

Context: Not too worried, not stressed much. Can't change whats happening so just getting on with things and using the time to get things done. I think the main problem is the press and media causing most of the panic and constantly going on about it, most of what they say are lies or just wrong. I don't watch the news much but can see it affecting other people. Main thoughts about it have been about planning incase it comes around again next year so don't end up stuck at home or short on things. Making sure I keep fit and healthy just incase I got it but not making many other changes.

Context: COVID 19 is clearly a killer but in my opinion, only a certain section of society has life threatened by it and some measures being taken are going overboard.  Vaccinating all adults seems to be a waste of time and money for some. The way government deals with COVID 19 often seems to contradict what was previously said, not enough research has been done into the vaccine to warrant investing millions of pounds into it though. I’m not a believer in conspiracy theories but there does seem to be some underhand dealings in some areas concerning COVID-19.

Context: I think it's a bit worrying but Chris Whitty CMO has recovered and seems well. Nobody close to me has been touched by the virus so it does feel a little abstract and external. I think everything all feels a bit surreal; almost like a plot from a film. I am frustrated that a lot of people are flaunting the rules and seem to think that social distancing doesn't apply to them which seems reckless and selfish. I don't want someone I care about, or even myself, to become ill, maybe critically, because someone wanted to go and sunbathe in a park.

Context: positive at the moment due to progress with the covid-19 vaccine, hopefully the whole of England will receive this and positive progress can be made and life should return to normal in the near future. I am looking forward to when this happens, will be a great day! positive at the moment due to progress with the covid-19 vaccine, hopefully the whole of England will receive this and positive progress can be made and life should return to normal in the near future. I am looking forward to when this happens, will be a great day!

Context:
It is seemingly fantastic for the environment.
I hope it encourages countries to put pressure on all cultures to protect endangered animals, rather than eat them.
I am concerned for elderly relatives, although they seem to be doing all the right things. The are fortunate in that they have a garden and my sister can do their shopping.
I am not concerned for myself or my partner.
We are appreciate the fact that we are fortunate to live alongside a large expanse of private land on which we can exercise.
We are still both in full time employment.

Context: Working in a school i feel frustrated that school staff have not been prioritised for the vaccine, i do feel anxious about the covid situation although I do feel hope that the situation will improve in the next few months. I feel sad for my children and the sacrifices we have made and life events we have missed out from celebrating in a normal way such as birthday parties. I miss my family and friends and having the freedom to do everyday things like go out for dinner or drinks and going out shopping. I do think the future is looking more positive.

Context:
feel fine. I'm well protected and follow the rules accordingly. I'm not worried at all by the vivid. We as a family tested positive in August last year. But has followed all protocols as to what we should do. If we keep are self's safe then that is all that matters . We follow the rules then it should bwe more difficult to pass on the symptoms to other people
 Also I'm a key worker so it is a priority to keep others safe in the line of work that I do. Can't think of anything else to write so just trying to get to the 500 chracters


Context:
Im ready to receive the vaccine and be allowed to lead a normal life. the government has handled the situation horribly.

I look forward to being able to go outside, generally im over the situation but being on lockdown has saved me money but i do miss being around my friends even just going to one another's homes.

I do wish others wouldn't break rules to make it easier for us to transition out of lockdown quickly

I feel a little frustration as my best years are passing me by i entered the pandemic at 23 and i will hopefully be leaving at 25 wow look how fast time has gone

Context: I feel very happy as I'm isolated with my family, and spending lots of quality time with my husband and two children. I now speak with my extended family every day which I never used to. It's a much more simple life which is something that I've always wanted to aspire to, but never managed to achieve while living in London. However, if I look on social media, the news, and take in the gravity of the situation, I feel scared, worried, anxious and fearful. I feel protected in my bubble in my home, but I worry for the future and our finances and our health.

Context: I am worried about the virus but for the first time today I feel more like my normal self. My husband left his work and he contacted them to ask if he could be reinstated and furloughed. They said yes! So I am so happy we are at least getting 80% of the wages. Universal Credit just would not have been enough. The last few weeks I have not felt myself. I have thought about my relationship with my husband in a negative way. We have two children and have not gone out for three weeks. The sun was out today, we had a chat with a neighbour over the fence and things are looking ok finance-wise. I have heard on the news that the number of deaths has dropped slightly and that has given me hope. Cross fingers.

Context:
I am frustrated and angry that people are still not social distancing and putting other people's lives at risk, however I am happy working from home spending time with my family, we are playing games and doing jigsaw, having old fashioned
fun. However  I am worried about the spread of the virus and how many people have died. I am a person who shows emotion and am looking forward to being able to hug my Mum and Dad and other friends and family and having a big party. I did not vote for Boris Johnson however think he has done a good job with Covid19 and am concerned about his health as he is now intensive care

Context: I am feeling just fine. I am relaxed, especially because a weekend is coming. I am feeling blessed and happy with all I have. I do not worry about the virus too much. This is perhaps for a number of reasons. First, I am young so even if I catch the virus there is a great chance that it will not affect me too much. In addition, I work from home so my exposure to others is very limited. Because I can work from home, I am feeling quite safe. I have also developed my working-from-home routine which allows me to dedicated time to cooking good food and exercise. Doing those things makes me feel good about myself.

Context: I feel more at ease with the covid19 situation as we are now being vaccinated which in turn should allow us to start moving forward and having as much of a normal lifestyle as we can compared to last year when we didnt know what to expect. I have had my first dose and know i still have to play my part in keeping others safe until everyone has had both doses. Hopefully come July/ Aug we will be able to live on a more normal level than we do at the moment. I am more settled now that I am able to see my parents as I am an unpaid carer, Also due to being allowed to have bubbles i can see my partner at the weekend when i am not working which gives me a purpose where as before the bubble it just felt i was getting up going to work and having nothing to look forward too

Context: To be honest, I really don't care about the so-called corona situation, I know it won't affect me and even if in some miraculous way it did, I wouldn't have fear. I have been studying herbs and the human body for years so I know herbal remedies that will defeat the coronavirus in a week. When u have faith in yourself, media and government fear tactics will never scare you. I know my immune system has my back and I know that the day that it doesn't that is my time to transition from this physical state and I look forward to that.

Context: I feel like I have coped with coronavirus very well and haven't really suffered mentally from it. I think I am getting a bit weary of it like a lot of people and I'm very much looking forward to the prospect of things hopefully returning to some semblance of normality soon. I still think I will remain cautious until I have had the vaccine though. For me I am in work pretty much everyday so I have been able to have contact with people and has stopped me feeling isolated, but I miss meeting up with my friends, going to the gym and travelling.

Context: I feel very angry and disappointed in the government at their treatment of NHS workers during the pandemic. I have some optimism and hope in light of the vaccine, I hope we will be able to visit my partner's family who live in another country before next year. I feel frustrated and worried about not being able to receive the vaccine of my choice, I would feel much safer having the vaccine which is the most effective. I am stressed from at being inside all the time, and am struggling to make or maintain any friendships, this makes me sad. But overall I am extremely happy to be living with my partner now, as I wasn't at the beginning of the pandemic.

Context: I feel a little worried about how bad it might get, but on the whole I feel fine, and know that it will be over in the long term. I mostly worry for the health of vulnerable relatives, both in terms of corona virus and their mental health in regards to isolation. On an individual level I am not so worried at all. Isolation seems to be fine on my own mental health, but living in my confined space within a flat share is a bit stressful. This mostly comes from being near my flatmates for such a prolonged amount of time, which I am not used to.

Context: Overall I don't feel too bad about the situation now.  I'm slightly concerned about the virus still spreading around, due to people not following the rules and that behaviour is still annoying me but I'm not stressing about things.  The new variants are worrying but I think they will quickly get under control.  There is always the niggling thought that other people or lack of government planning will set us back. However, I'm much more relaxed about it than before now that there are vaccines.  I'm feeling more optimistic that will be back to normal sooner than expected

Context: I think it is a storm in a teacup to be honest. The UK Government has got it all wrong and current measures will cause more harm than good in the long term. My wife and I are having some well earned time off due to being furloughed so thoroughly enjoying the media circus playing out on the TV everyday. The coverage now has reached saturation level and in my opinion it will only be a matter of time before the Police overstep their boundaries and end up in some real trouble with public trust issues. Hopefully it will all be over soon and we can get back to getting out of the EU.

Context: I feel optimistic now the vaccine programme has worked so well and cases are falling country wide. I am hopeful that schools going back won't start another surge in cases and even if they do, the success of the vaccination programme should mean that cases won't translate to deaths. I think the media need to be more responsible and stop trying to scaremonger with stories about new variants. The science says these variants are of low concern but the media blow it out of proportion to get clicks and sell advertising space.

Context:
We have really go along way regarding this pandemic situation. The health and government officials, as well as the masses, have contributed immensely towards minimising the impact of the pandemic.  I am sure things will return to normal soon.

According to the statistics from health officials, the rate is decreasing rapidly, and with the production of vaccines, everything will progress very fast.

Personally, I do connect with friends and family as much as I can. Sometimes, I do have to go out to exercise since all gym centres are locked. Sometimes, it seems tough, but we are all in it together and with sacrifice will overcome.

Context: Anxious about schools returning and the possible impact on myself and my family. Hoping that the return to schools doesn’t increase infection rates.Frustrated that all teachers haven’t been vaccinated. Hoping that we don’t have to go back into lockdown. Looking forward to having a UK based holiday in the Summer. Aware that lots of people will want the same things as myself. Not sure when I will ever feel fully confident to return to large gatherings of people at Public events. Glad that people I love are beginning to get the vaccination.

Context:
The corona virus is a frustratingly over manipulated situation used to cover up other situations, assert control and breed fear amongst us all. I do not fear the virus I fear the people that 'created' it and have anger and resentment to all those involved for putting us all into such a dire situation - mentally, emotionally and financially.

We will overcome this and the truth will eventually come out the m ore people realise that MSM, those in power and many others are behind all of this. I don't deny there is an actual virus but I refuse to believe in the plandemic. There are too many inconsistencies and nothing adds up.

Context:
 Am just as worried about it the same as the next person.I'm feeling quite upbeat today as been doing indoor crafts with kids but its always in the back of my mind.
   I have elderly parent's(in 80s) and my inlaws are in their 60's and all have underlying conditions.
  I myself have Asthma so it is a worrying time.We all need to accept that we will know someone who will pass away.
   I am trying to keep the kids happy and occuped as they do understand but their routine is shot to pieces.They have been doing schoolwork but as this is now Easter holidays they dont have any.
  Even thous its not life as we know it,I still feel that we should have total lockdown.

Context: There is nothing we can do and just following gov guidance and hoping that soon it will remain in past and we will be back to normal without all this restrictions. The only one thing which really makes me upset is travel restrictions. I miss my family and friends as they all leave far away some in this country but as far that you can’t just come and go back same day. Just living in hopes for normal life that people will be responsible and wear this masks or stay home if they got ill. I stayed in self isolation because of being in contact with person who had COVID and it wasn’t so hard to stay for 10 days to keep people safe.

Context: The corona situation makes me feel slightly anxious. I am worried that there may be another wave and I've already had to shut my business for 8 months in the last year due to the virus. The lockdowns have also made me feel proud of myself. Early on I decided that I would live the best life I could during lockdowns and use the time to evaluate what I want with my life.  There are aspects I will take forward such as living in the moment more and making sure I make time for me after this is over which I didn't do much before.   I appreciate things more. I realise how much much I love my business, my family and my friends. It has been an appalling year but I have come through it stronger than I was and I glad I had the opportunity to make the most of this year.

Context: I feel glad to be able to look forward to the plan of coming out of lockdown. I am not anxious about my daughters return to school and welcome the glimpse of normality this brings. At the weekend whilst driving to a park i was amazed at just how many people were out and about in large groups (over 10 in most instances) without any social distancing. It feels very much like the lockdown has ended already. I feel glad to of not been affected by Covid, but do feel it has been largely over dramatised and I am not one to buy in to the panic so feel calm

Context: At the moment I feel quite optimistic and relaxed about the corona situation. this is because i know the vaccine is accessible and things will be back to normal soon. I also feel that the situation has been over-exaggerated in the media, through only representing the bad figures and not any of the positives, such as the survival rate. it has made university more stressful, having to do it online and having online meetings. Right now i feel closer to my family, having had the opportunity to spend more time with all of us together

Context: Not so much worried anymore just a bit fed up. Working from home is okay but I want to see my family and friends again. I also lost my grandad to coronavirus so that hit us all really hard. We’ve had holidays cancelled, some people have lots jobs and can’t afford to live. Everything is just making me feel a bit fed up now. Hopefully things will go back to normal in June and we can start moving forward and getting back to the way it was. Even though it’ll never fully be like it used to. I think wearing masks to go shopping will probably be mandatory forever now

Context: Covid-19 has completely taken over my life, in that it has changed the way I work and it has made my flatmate's economic situation a lot more anxious, which obviously has a knockon effect on me.  I am anxious about my health, as I am asthmatic and have had a cough (but no other symptoms) for 3 weeks now - I worry that, although I think it is probably just a cough, there is no way of knowing for sure as I wouldn't be able to get tested for Coronavirus.   I spend a lot of spare time taking online science courses about Covid-19, which is very interesting.  I read recently that this situation could go on for another year and a half, which means that our lives are going to be so changed and uncertain for ages.   And does that mean I won't get to see my parents again for all that time?  That makes me a bit sad.  At the same time as feeling worried about these things, I feel that this is something that is totally out of my control beyond the sensible precautions that I can take, and it is something that is no-one's fault.  Whether I survive it or not seems largely down to luck!  There is something quite liberating in that.  This is also an exciting time to be alive - this situation is completely novel to me.

Context: It prevented me from working (self-employed making wedding toppers) but I was able to get a job working for the NHS from home and taking confirmed case calls.

Context:
I feel quite content in my knowledge and understanding of covid and how a virus mutates.
I do not feel confident in the governments dealing of this. Far too many mistakes by them. Big organisations, including supermarkets have a pandemic policy in place. It took far too long for this to be implemented.
I’m happy my children are back at school but not happy if they have to isolate for a period of time. My youngest really struggles with the constant changes and not knowing if he is in school or not. Bearing in mind that we haven’t been around germs for a long time my children will catch something which will mean more time out from school.

Context:
At this moment I feel calm and relaxed in the comfort of knowing myself and my family are staying safe and following the guidelines. However their is anger in relation to work in food retail as other members of public abuse the convenience of my risk going to work for personal fulfillment of a can of pop, newspapers or chocolate and sweets. Not for the essential items they need.
Overall despite myself a shop worker and my partner a police officer this time together has deepened and strengthened our relationship and shifted a focus on to our future. Truly highlights who and what is important in my life.

Context: Want it to be over now. Longing for normality to return so that I can go things like visit places and go on holiday and go out with my friends. Feel happy that my family have gotten off lightly though, there have been no cases in my family and several members have already been vaccinated. I'm grateful that none of us have gotten the virus. I just hope that the vaccination program works so that things can start to open up again. A lot less fearful than I was last year as the vaccine is bringing down cases.

Context: At this very moment, I feel happy and relaxed because I have just finished work and I am working from home. My family are all working from home too and so far everyone is safe. I feel anxious to watch the news and worried that someone I know will get ill. I feel sad if I think about all of the people who are ill at the moment or who have lost someone. I feel as though the world is a bit much for me to bare right now and the best way for me to deal with it is to keep busy and try not to worry myself about things I can't control.

Context:
I believe we are making a great effort to vaccinate the majority of the nation, the one thing I disagree with is that the schools have gone back so urgently. I believe this may cause another rise in cases for the people that have not yet had the vaccine. This will in turn push back the other relaxations of the lockdown, meaning sports cannot return and pubs/restaurants cannot open.
I want to return back to work in London at the earliest and this will not become available until June 21st at least.

Context:
i feel that the governments of the world are not doing enough to try and contain the virus which is frustrating.

i am personally happy as i prepared for this event so i don't have as much to worry about as the people who were oblivious and didn't prepare for it.

i have enough supplies to last a few months therefore i have a sense of clam and am relaxed as i do not have anything to worry about currently and for the foreseeable future.

also i was working from home before the lockdown in my country so not much has changed for me.

Context: It is better, covid cases are down and  there are less people dying. we have been in lockdown for ages and are coming out of it. we will have normal summer where we can go out and see people and eat out. it is much better now and covid is pretty much going away. i am looking forward to going back to normal and getting out and about so that i can be free. there has been lots of deaths and we are broken as a society with so many flaws and inequalities which covid has highlighted. its time that this changed

Context: I feel hopeful. The number of new cases and deaths is dropping steadily and the roadmap from the government is promising. I hope to see my family again soon as I miss them dearly. I’m still a little sad at times due to the increased isolation and lack of team spirit at work, but this is improving. I look forward to things returning to normality gradually as the year progresses, and really hope people use their common sense. We need to keep pushing on through the tough times, it will be worth it.


Context:
Hopeful and Optimistic. I am having my second jab tomorrow and looking forward to lockdown being lifted soon.
It’ll be nice to have some sort of life again with my little girl and have days out
The last year has seemed to go pretty quickly looking back though
Other than that, it’ll be nice to get back to work full time too
and be able to have childcare again!
I miss the little things like the beach. It’ll be nice to go for a walk along one again and breathe in the sea air

It also nice to see the daily numbers dropping in my local area

Context: I feel the corona virus situation is coming to an end and it has been so long since things were normal. I can’t wait for things to begin opening. It has been draining living with coronavirus and although it will never be fully gone I am looking forward to returning to some sort of normality and my children having some sort of normality in life. Corona has changed so much over the last year and it has been so full of uncertainty. I have been scared of catching it and passing it onto my family and especially scared when I was pregnant that I would get it and pass it on to my unborn child

Context: I feel inspired by the community spirit at present. However the few individual who are not abiding by the lockdown instructions are infuriating me as they will only make it worse for all of us. I am busy with university work and so have not had time to get bored yet however I am sure that will come shortly. I am isolating with my family so I have people to keep me entertained. I am apart from my boyfriend which makes me sad but I know I am doing right by the country by not seeing him. I believe the country know what they are doing and preparing in the best way possible. I understand that many lives will be lost but the NHS will try to save as many as possible.

Context: I feel very fearful about the corona virus, but it's also important to work at being happy and not allow the fear to overcome us. We take good care to do all the things that will help us stay safe, and we are really lucky to live in a rural area where we can enjoy the outdoors immediately from our house. Feeling happy is the strongest way to face adversity, and not allow it to affect us in a negative way. I am worried about what happens next, but doing our best to live for today and enjoy today. What is happening to others is never far from our minds though, so we think of everyone each day.

Context: I am slightly concerned about the corona situation and worried that things may get worse again with new variants. But most of my immediate family Have been vaccinated or will be vaccinated very soon which was my main concern and so a large proportion of my worry has subsided. As the infection rates are so low in my area this also puts my mind at ease. I still find myself paranoid about cleaning surfaces/deliveries though and I will not be happy meeting with anyone until my family have built up immunity from the vaccine.

Context: I am angry at how badly the British government has managed the pandemic. I am anxious about going back to normal life, although, I would like some normality. I feel like I have had covid but it wasn’t at the time when people could get a test and I feel like I now have long lasting effects from it. I am angry at the money that the British government have wasted even when they pretended before the pandemic that they did not have enough funding for other social issues such as helping the disabled and homeless.

Context:
I have had the first dose of the vaccine and so have members of my family so I am happy about that and also happy with the vaccine rollout in the U.K.
I hope that we’re through the worst and I’m confident that scientists will be able to protect us from future variants through vaccines.
I’m glad we’re through the winter. Cases and deaths are down and I’m hopeful that the worst is over.
Hopefully once the economy is fully re-open we can enjoy life as close to fully as possible and avoid full lockdowns. I’m looking forward to finally seeing friends again.

Context:
Mixed. I don't think there is a right way to handle the current situation.  Yes, distance and wear masks at every opportunity ams avoid gatherings.  But at the same time the government can't pay its way out and support everything without this having a huge knock effect for years to come.

And its terrible that we have to accept there will habe to be a certain amount of expected deaths annually... But there does, we need to keep going, kids in school, people at work.

So, its both worrisome and challenging.  I hate risk but risk seems inevitable.

Context: This evening I received a tip off from a friend that people over 56 can now book a vaccination online, so I did that immediately and now have appointments for the 1st and 2nd vaccination booked.  Hence I am feeling personally very happy, but nevertheless appreciate that we are still in a serious situation with 'normality' a long way off.  As I am retired (early) and live alone, I don't have the worry of mixing at work (as a former teacher I am glad not to be facing the stress that the return on Monday may pose for my old colleagues) and have been able to limit contact with others.

Context: I feel that it is very serious and it is a national and international issue that needs to be dealt with seriously and with great care and attention. Personally, however, I have not been affected by it much - none of my friends or family, or even people I know have had it, only those such as my friends friend or my friends family - so I I don’t feel afraid to live my life. I do, however, take all precautions such as wearing a mask, social distancing and sanitising my hands. My workplace has also stayed open (I work in a solicitors office) but closed to clients, which has made me feel less worried about the pandemic as I still have a sense of normality and am not just cooped up in my own home alone and hearing the negative statistics

Context: As we close in on a year of Coronavirus, my current feeling about the pandemic at this moment of time is that of exhaustion yet positivity. The rules in which we must abide by, in order to overcome the hard times placed upon us by the invisible enemy, have taken a toll mentally and physically on one's self. However, in times of turmoil, I do find myself in good spirit and high hopes for the future! The reduction of deaths and increased rollout of vaccinations has eased what was once fear, yet the overwhelming longevity of the virus which did not seem so bad at first; still allows for one's mind to think if we'll ever go back to normal.

Context:
I am just awaiting my turn for the vaccine, slightly cautious of the possible long term effects.

The new variants are obvious signs that the virus is ever changing, but luckily science seems to be one step ahead In battling the virus and giving the country the boost it needs on the long road to a new normality.

I am hopeful that everything should be back to norma by the end of summer with 2022 being a big year in reinvigorating the economy.

Once the worst of the virus is over it will be interesting to see how normal practices compare to pre covid.

Context:
I feel good now I believe the Government has a hold on the situation. Every person has had a different experience, some worse than mine. The be anxiety and fear that was caused may take some time to release. Now is a time to move on and move up in their lives. Invest in their families, their communities and the children who have suffered as they are our future.
A lot of elderly people don't know why we have been so scared of what wasn't the greatest pandemic in their lives and perspective has been missing from the response.

Context: It’s a bit strange as it’s something we’ve not seen before. We’re managing to get through day by day but it is worrying. I’m concerned about how long the lockdown will last and the impact of this. We’re having to buy for a couple of weeks at a time to avoid going out, but stores are half empty, this makes things really difficult when you have a newborn and simply need certain items. I’m trying to stay calm and relaxed, distracting myself to take my mind off of things but I am quite anxious about the situation.

Context: I keep forgetting why we are isolating and those moments are very happy and relaxed. I then remember why I am at home and start to get anxious. I wish I could stay working from home but without the looming threat of the virus. I love spending time with my family but hate that we cannot see all of the family. Also I feel a lot of pressure that this time needs to be productive. Generally I am feeling happy but I worry for other members of my family especially the older ones and the ones who are unwell.

Context: I am fed up with it. 2 months into another lockdown and i just want everything to return to normal. I miss a lot of normal things like going to the gym or the cinema. I miss sitting in a bar and enjoying my free time with my mates. I cant wait to take my kids out again to soft play areas and trampoline parks. I miss going on holiday the most, sitting at the beach with a strawberry daquiri or a sex on the beach. I miss taking a wee drive on a random day with a picnic. Everyboduly seems to be feeling the same.

Context: With all the steps that have been taken to isolate us from each other, I am not worried about myself and my health. I have a health condition that may not be compatible with the corona virus but I am trying not to think and stress about it at the moment. I am concerned about others who may get infected. I am relatively happy at the moment, trying to make the best out of my situation (i.e. working from home, no commuting to work). I am happy with the actions taken by the government and I think that they are doing they best to deal with this situation.

Context: It's been a difficult year, but there's definitely a bright side, and things are beginning to look up for the better now. My parents have had their first vaccines, so they're in a much better position than they were a year ago, and a lot safer for it too. I'm currently preparing to get back onto campus for university, and seeing how things go from there. Things will get better soon, I'm trying to remain optimistic - especially since around this time last year we were all in so much uncertainty about everything to do with the virus, it's nice to know that now there's a bit more certainty and security with life.

Context: I am feeling positive that things are improving and lockdown measures are easing at the end of this month and beyond, but I feel anxious about how long it will last and whether further lockdown measures will have to be reintroduced in the future, especially over the winter again. I worry that figures will start to go back up and we won't be able to meet with friends and family again. I just want to be able to see my friends and family, even if it has to be outside in gardens etc. I do think things need to start getting back to normal, we can't stay locked inside and put all of our lives on hold for much longer. We will have to learn to live with covid like we do with the flu.

Context: Not been too worried about it to be honest. I’ve been 80% since I’ve been off from about the 20th March I believe. Partner still in work due to key worker, she works in a nursery linked with NHS, so will be working right through I could imagine. Happiness because I’ve been home looking after my 2 year old daughter. Never have I had the chance to spend this much time with her. It’s been great. Sometimes annoyed with how government have dealt with some issues. Not quick enough etc to make big decisions. Not clear enough regarding who should/shouldn’t work, I’m a carpenter. My company were in limbo and pretty much left to my boss to decide if we should stay open or not. He decided to close. But we do insurance works. So could potentially delay people getting back home etc.

Context: I feel quite relieved that the R number has decreased and that people are becoming more hopeful about the future.  That being said, I still feel a bit cautious regarding the future with the new variants and how the vaccines will deal with these.  We know how much effort and time it takes to produce a vaccine and vaccinate most of the population, therefore, if these vaccines have to be tweaked this takes time and then the population would most likely have to have a booster which takes a lot of time and effort.  My worry is that we could be in and out of lockdown for quite a long time if this was the case.

Context:
I feel confident the situation is going to improve now that we have a vaccine and a roadmap to get things back to normal.
I feel more optimistic and can start planning things and that makes me happy.
Overall I feel like we are on a good track and I am very impatient to be able to socialise and have wonderful memories again.
I look forward to kids going back to school too, they have been resilient but they also miss the social interactions and being taught in person.
They have had moments of boredom and lethargy.
Overall I think things are on a good path to get better and we can resume our lives as we knew them before

Context: I am still concerned at the threat of another wave but happy that my most vulnerable family members have been vaccinated. I am looking forward to the easing of restrictions over the summer - having an end in sight helps me feel less frustrated. I am angry at how the government has handled the situation and am concerned that no lessons will be learned from their failings. I am grateful that I haven't lost any loved ones but am saddened at essentially losing a year of my twenties. I have family members who have had much more negative experiences than my own and feel very sad for them.

Context: I feel happy that I get my second injection next week and that the bulk of the population will soon be safer, this will enable me to see my family and friends, I still will feel that I should continue to take all the current precautions because of the idiots that refuse the injection. I feel sad and upset that so many have not taken this pandemic seriously.it affects everyone and everyone should take the same consideration for others .I cannot wait for a day when I can meet my family and friends again. I and so many others have missed so much and I feel sad for all those who have suffered and lost loved ones through the past year

Context:
I feel happier knowing many people have been vaccinated- including my parents, and that the vaccine will be available to more people soon.
I am thankful none of my family members were affected by coronavirus.

Also knowing there are plans for lockdown to end in the next few months makes me feel better too- although I do feel anxious about life after the pandemic since we have been indoors for so long now away from people. I haven't been out of the house much since the first lockdown last year.

Context: I am strangely enjoying the freedom that lock down brings, I look out the window, see birds (and now identify them), using delivery companies that I wouldn't normally use - small producers for example. I am enjoying the emptiness of diaries, finding out more about online activities and social media channels that I have avoided until now. Relaxed and happy. Got a jigsaw on the go, have started some OU courses, doing online exercise, a stack of books, cooking interesting things that take time. However, I realise that I am hugely lucky, have a garden and a dog which make all the difference in the world.

Context: Very unfornuate to those who have been affected, I am fortunately not affected and neither is my family so far. There are some benefits to the planet in terms of climate change and it has highlighted some negative things in our way of life, so for this there is a positive side that we can be happy with if we all stay safe and obey the lockdown. The most concerning thing in my opinion is the upcoming recession/depression because if people are still out of work well after the pandemic, there will be a more severe problem which is the collapse of the global economy, having such a major and volatile event might lead to unrest in the world and the possibility of war.

Context: I'm personally not affected by it right now. However, it's worrying how many people are being infected and killed by it. Being isolated socially is difficult at times. However, I am feeling good at the moment. I worked a lot on self-improvement today, I had time to read about interesting topics and meditate. I even managed to get out for a small walk, as I'm lucky that there is a path near my home where not a lot of people travel through. I just finished my tea and now I'm mostly watching videos online.

Context: I feel anxious about getting the virus again but not thinking about it as much today. I am happy to have been out for fresh air but it the restrictions are getting to me. I miss my friends and family very much. Although I understand restrictions and I abide by them, it feels like happy moments are more fleeting than before the pandemic started.  I do not feel as angry as before but I do notice that a looming feeling of hopelessness is covering me most times. I do my tasks everyday and work etc but I increasingly feel like my soul leaves my body and I am a robot just producing, walking, talking but not there, there. I am able to feel happy at times as I do today, for example, but I find it harder and harder to take that good feeling in.

Context:
I think we are finally seeing some sort of control over the virus to be able to get us back to some sort of normal living, shops being open again, business being able to open up again and we can finally get our haircut. Although, I'm so use to lock down, apart from going to work, it is a little anxiety provoking the thought of being around lots of people again.
Also lets hope there has been enough research done on the jab as well so no long term issues appear further down the line and cause other problems.

Context: I have been shielding for a full calendar year. I had my first baby while in lockdown, and was also made redundant due to Covid just before I gave birth. However, me and my loved ones all recently had the vaccine. I feel hopeful for the first time in a year. A huge weight of fear and anxiety has lifted. I no longer feel terrified when one of us coughs. I am so excited about the possibility of doing normal things again like going to the supermarket, and for my family and friends to finally meet my baby girl. There were so many points in the last year when I wasn't sure if we would ever get a vaccine or if we did, that it would happen so soon. I am so grateful for everything I have and can't wait to live my life again.


Context:
i have just had the jab yesterday but even before the jab with the elderly having the first doses i was beginning to feel less anxious.

Now after having the jab i am a lot less anxious but still realise that i still have to keep to covid rules.

i am still worried for those who will not have the vaccine  and what will happen to those unvaccinated  although every tell me the average death rate is still 80

i am also thinking of the covid mutations and whether we can keep up with the vaccine.i dont like to vaccinate often so i am not wanting this covid vaccine to be an annual vaccination.

Context: I still feel worried about the Corona situation at the moment.  Although. I feel slightly relieved as the death figures have reduced for the UK as a whole but in particular they have plummeted in Scotland for 2 days in a row to 2 deaths per day.  However, I'm a little anxious as to whether this will continue and hoping that people don't relax the advice of self isolating or social distancing because of this as this would undo the good that has been done.  I still feel a little ponderous as to how this virus has started and the cause.  I also get very annoyed about people not being respectful of the 2 metre distance.  I feel pretty anxious about the economy also as I'm wondering about the long term effects this lock down will have on the country and the world.  There is so much hardship and poverty already in this country.

Context: I feel OK about it, it's a concern but my job is secure. Everyone I know is safe. I'm enjoying the community spirit at the minute. Many people have felt isolated by it but I dont. I feel more included and more connected than ever before. However, I'm a little concerned that too many people are going out, we will be on full lock down before we know it!! I don't want to be on lock down because I want to be able to go for a walk, all the while keeping my distance from others . It's annoying that a lot of people don't seem to be able to follow these rules or understand the importance of it.

Context: It has quickly become normality. I am concerned for friends and family in terms if how they will be effected if they get the virus. It is also concerning that there doesn’t really appear to be an exit strategy at this point. The other main concern is how we will rebuild the economy, poverty is likely to be a major issue particularly if the lockdown continues much longer.  I am fortunate in that I am a key worker so do not have any immediate concerns relating to work. I am generally pretty relaxed and would go as far as to say that I am actually enjoying the isolation.

Context: I'm optimistic about the future really. I have a job that is Covid proof as I work in the custodial industry so it has not effected me too badly. Apart from a small drop in money over the past few months that is now getting back to normal. The vaccine is rolling out so I am positive about the future and feeling we now have a grip on this awful virus. I just hope people will do as they said in the beginning and not forget about the people on the front line who sacrificed so much. Cleaners etc but I fear all their efforts will be forgotten and they will go back to being the invisible people of our society once again

Context:
I am happy that the vaccination programme is progressing really well and that we are on the right road to recovery. I am still very very busy at work and it is very stressful. I am glad my children are going back to school and I hope that we can have a holiday this summer. I have had 2 Covid vaccines so I feel a lot safer.

I wonder what the future looks like and how safe we will be going to pubs and on holiday. I think our children will remember this for the rest of their lives.

This is history in the making. I used to feel special when I travelled to work throughout the first lockdown, it felt very different with empty trains, stations and streets. I was able to go to work much earlier because my children were at home and not at school. Now it is slightly busier but not by much really

Context: I’m happy to be spending more time at home with my family. I don’t feel under time pressure as I’m not wasting two hours a day commuting as I’m working from home. I’m relaxed as there’ more time to do things I enjoy like gardening. I can exercise every day after work and then make dinner without rushing. I love hanging out with my kids and my husband and my dog. There’s time to chat and have fun together. We get chance to do things together like going on walks and chatting. I choose who to hang out with outside of my family and go for a walk to chat with a friend once a week rather than once a month like it used to be. I can see colleagues in meetings and get the job done together. It allows me to be more focused on my work and get stuff done.

Context:
I feel sad that many people will die. I feel a little anxious that I will contract the virus however I take courage in the fact that I am young, fit, healthy, without any medical conditions nor do I take any medication. However I am fearful for my elderly grandfather who is at risk and is self isolating for the 12 week period as directed by the government.

I feel disgusted that the government was too slow and has been incompetent in their response to this crisis. We had some time to plan ahead since the warnings were coming out of China in the early part of the year. I feel let down by the government ministers when I discovered that they had planned for an epidemic response in the future but they did not buy the correct PPE as it was deemed too expensive.

I feel angry that the healthcare workers in the NHS such as myself have been put at risk of contracting the coronavirus which is avoidable with the correct PPE.

I am annoyed by the poor response and lack of understanding / engagement by the general public. I was walking to work the other day when I walked past a party in someone's garden. 7+ people drinking alcohol, music etc. It's annoying as this is disrespectful. The public may clap at 8pm on Friday or whenever but it is hypocritical to clap and say thanks for the NHS then go and break the rules which we are trying to put in place and enforce to reduce the death rate, reduce the burden on the NHS and help the country out.

Context: I feel relaxed as I have the time to do things that I wouldn't normally do, such as reading books and learning new skills. However, I feel sad as I miss my friends and am worried about how long it will be before I see them again, hoping things feel a bit more normal in the coming months. I am generally a happy person and know that I need routine and my mind needs to be kept busy so I am trying to do that as much as possible. I do feel slightly anxious about the uncertainty of what the next few months will bring, but am optimistic that things will be better soon.

Context: I feel ok about the coronavirus at the moment. I think I was feeling a lot more anxious this time last year about the spread of COVID. A year on and I still do not personally know anyone who has died from COVID. I think lockdown 3 has been the hardest on me but also on a lot of other people too. It's been a difficult start to 2021 but I'm feeling more confident in the roadmap out of this third lockdown and with the vaccine too that we will soon be out of this mess and getting back to some sort of normal. I'm missing seeing friends and family and going out for dinners and a year on it's even tougher on people as it's been such an unsocial year.

Context: To much doom and gloom on the news. people are showing their true self's in a bad way. don't know who to trust. the rules should be relaxed. the police are taking it to far and should only be catching true criminals. the government are not looking after the peoples money. small business are shutting down and we are going to lose them. Testing should of been done months ago when China had a problem. Protective equipment should of been provided straight away. Lockdown should of been placed where the worst of the pandemic started

Context:
I am hopeful as there appears to be a light at the end of the very long tunnel we have been travelling through. I am looking forward to returning to work and seeing the children in the class! I have found teaching online strange, time consuming and difficult at times. I feel sorry for the children in my class who have missed so much school and we’re just beginning to make progress. It feels like it’s going to be like climbing up a steep hill to get them settled back into school.

I have found this whole situation difficult with not being able to socialise. I am a very sociable person and I am really looking forward to finally seeing my family and friends! Each day that more people are vaccinated my anxiety is replaced with a feeling of hope. I can’t wait for shops and pubs and restaurants to open up. I am also relieved that I won’t have to spend another birthday in lockdown!

Context: I'm feeling like there is so much light at the end of the tunnel and we are coming to the end of the last year being so dark. There has been alot for me to take in and adapt to the changes imposed upon me. I have just been lucky I still have my job and I have been working throughout the pandemic and been able to save some extra money in the process. This time has made me think about what I want out of life and how I want to live it once restrictions are lifted. First thing is first is a new sofa...

Context:
I feel that the current situation was avoidable and that the handling could have been better. Quite frankly I’m fed up of the situation and want it all to be over so that I can forget about it. My life has been on hold since last March because of the coronavirus and it has seriously delayed my long time plans and also disrupted my final year and university and my planned graduation.

Every day feels like a repeat of the day before so much so that I often forget what day it is as it’s not relevant anymore

Context: i worry about mixing with people socially again when lockdowns are over more so than the virus itself, it is like i have forgotten how it works.It will probably be easier than it seems currently. It feels like it is on the way to being resolved but 'normality' is a way off. I have been luckier than many because i am a key worker so have continued to work and actually have progressed in my job, i have learned many new skills that i may not have done otherwise which makes me overall positive about the future.

Context: Very optimistic about humanity's ability to overcome Covid-19 with vaccines. Cautiously planning some return to international travel and normal society. I feel a kind of justified cynicism with regard to the actions of the UK government, which has made a mess of almost everything before succeeding with its vaccination programme (which is really the NHS's programme). I feel very sorry for young people, especially those whose careers have been blighted, often before they've got started. I'm using the lockdown to learn new skills - piano and German - but finding it hard to focus.

Context: At the moment I am going through mix of feelings. There is happiness as we are together as a family, my husband is spending time with our kids more than before, because he is stuck at home. It feels good to take time, not to worry about going out or spending money in shopping.Than there is anger because my son's birthday is cancelled, I can't order neccessary things to bake cake as all online slots are gone for ages, my husband is not so good at shopping but he goes to shops because he is the one who drives.I can't order my son personalised birthday card as I did las 10 years because last 2 weeks it is not possible. Than there is sadness that people are dying but at the same timeI can;t believe that everything is locked, people are staying at home, no planes no visits nothing and statisticly every year from flu die even more people. I find TV and newspapers fear mongering and I am so worried about people with mental issues because beeing on their own without help and no one to turn to in most needed minutes could involve even more uneccessary death.

Context: I feel I and my family are doing all we can to try and prevent the spread of this virus. Myself and my daughter have to work so apart from going to work and essential shopping I don’t leave the house, I have on one occasion gone for a walk but I don’t do this typically every day. It is worrisome but the situation cannot be helped my feeling anxious and worried about it won’t change anything. As long as I follow the advice given I’m confident that I And my family will remain well. I don’t feel this situation will be easily resolved, I feel we have a long way to go, and this could go on for many many months if not longer.

Context: I feel fed up of corona as I haven't been able to do anything I would like to and I am feeling restless and sick of being inside. I have not keep up with the corona news recently so I do not know how bad it is/isn't therefore I don't feel that worried. I have made new friends during lockdown which I feel thankful for however I just want things to go back to normal so I can go to new places and see my friends and experience my youth. I feel as if I am wasting my best years stuck inside and have lost significant relationships due to this

Context: I feel okay about it. It's progressing and getting better, especially with the vaccincations being rolled out. It's still scary and I don't enjoy not being able to see people properly but its what is needed. I feel a bit anxious about things opening up again but mostly okay I just hope everyone will be safe and sensible. But overall I am trying to stay optimistic about where we're heading. I feel safe as well as my university is doing weekly COVID testing and I have been given the vaccine as I am training to be a healthcare worker

Context: It seems to be getting better. The weather has brightened up with spring, so it's nice to be able to spend more time outside again. Vaccinations are going well, so hopefully we will be able to come out of lockdown and lift restrictions by Summer. Looking forward to seeing friends and family again, and being able to spend a bit of time away from home (break from everyday life). Will be nice to be able to socialise, go out to for meals/drinks, and even meet up for coffee! I'm feeling very hopeful about the future.

Context:
Very sad time,
NHS staff doing great job
Happy that uk is getting through this well, wish that the whole world could get closer and sort this out not like China not telling everyone how to cope with this and are making money uncalled for but I can’t do anything about this not only this but USA is doing a great job and so is uk nurses doctors and volunteers, I’m a little bit sad right now not just about me but about my family aswell and if someone gets sick I won’t know how to cope with it! Hopefully god is looking down and this will clear soon

Context: The government is doing a good job at the moment but i do get annoyed with media when they keep asking the government about when the lockdown is going to end.And every afternoon when listening to the government coronavirus daily brief,i really get annoyed by the same questions they keep asking especially when the questios had already been addresses during the briefing.at the moment i am reaal happy that people in area are following the social distance guidelines by staying in and only going out to have a walk or shopping when required.

Context: At the moment I feel positive about the future. With the UK vaccination program going well and kids now going back to school I feel that we will get back to some sort of normality soon. There now seems to be some sort of light at the end of the tunnel and that restrictions will soon end. I’m looking forward to being able to see family and friends again and for the summer to be easier. I am a little concernes about the variants that seem to be emerging. Also nest winter is a concern with virus rates possible going up again.

Context:
I am happy that we have a vaccine and are vaccinating everyone now. I am a bit worried about getting vaccinated but i think it is important that everyone gets vaccinated.
 I am looking forward to things slowly getting back to normal and that my son can finally go back to school next week he has has had quite a hard time being isolated from all his friends and he has been missing school.
 I am feeling very optimistic now and i can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. I feel grateful that the Corona situation hasn't really effected my family in a really negative way.

Context: I am stressed being in close contact with who I live with, their behaviour and attitudes are effecting my mood. The lack of distance from them is causing a strain. And that not asking me to do something when I've told them when I'm free is somehow my fault, I can't wait to be able to go back to work and regularly get out of this house. I am happy with other things in general such as work/life balance, the future prospects. I have a secure job and I haven't been directly affected by coronavirus..

Context: i feel very anxious and worried about the situation. as im a care worker in the thick of it we have no sufficent PPE. I am worried for my family collegues and residents. i hope everyone will stick to the guidelines so we can get back to normal. and the rest of the world can heal aswell and we can all work toegtehr to get the world back to normal ................................................................................................................................................................................................

Context: I'm pretty bored of it all, the risk does not seem that high, not high enough to just stop doing anything. Should be allowed to go out if you are willing to take the risk. Do not think we are being told the truth, too may things are hidden or censored from us. I don't see why certain business are getting priority over others, the media is not essential, but rich tv and movie stars seem to be able to travel and do what they want whilst we are locked down. Other countries that don't have a lock down like us are doing ok. A lot of the people getting sick are fat and unhealthy so why should everyone else suffer for self inflicted illnesses. We could keep the real sick people safe whilst not having to lock everyone up.

Context: I feel positive about the future. With the roadmap out of covid restrictions the outlook is more positive.  The summer will be here soon and we will finally be able to meet outdoors.  I have wanted to see my family so much but I am happy with my own family and that we have been kept safe in our own little bubble.  My husband has had the vaccine and so has quite a few members of my family.  I know that most people I know have followed the rules.  I try not to let the actions of others effect me.  Other people breaking the rules has nothing to do with me.

Context: There is a light a the end of the tunnel which is reassuring and I feel less concerned about contracting covid 19 as I have had my first vaccine as have many of my friends and family. I still worry about going back out into the world after working from home for nearly a year. I don't like the idea of a crowded commute and I think I am more productive working at home. I worry about the impact on my childrens lives and careers as well as their future prospects. My eldest son is buying a new house and has little job security

Context: I am sad and Frustrated that a whole year has passed and we’re still very much in the grip of this pandemic. I personally know families that have lost their loved ones. I’m sad that I’ve not seen my brothers and sisters properly in all this time. My parents have stayed well and so have my family for which I am extremely grateful. I hope that slowly we can start to come out of lockdown and be able to be with our families again. People want to be able to travel a whole year of staying at home takes it toll on people’s mental well being

Context:
I feel much better than I did a few months ago, as most of the at risk population have now been vaccinnated. The outlook is looking much better that things will be able to hopefully return to normal. I'm looking forward to being able to see family and friends as well as hopefully going on holiday again.
I'm also feeling grateful at how well the vaccine programme has been rolled out within the uk. However I'm still very angry at how the governement has handled the situation and how we come to have so many deaths.

Context: More hopeful towards the future as there are now many vaccines that appear to be effective against the virus. The number of infections is falling, as well as people admitted to the hospital. Also, the government have set dates for the reopening of society which gives people something to look forward to. It seems like after so long we are finally getting on top of the virus as more people get vaccinated although these people may still get infected the symptoms appear to much less severe. Although the virus is still serious, I'm still hopeful about the future and feel like the end is in sight.

Context: Frustrated at the government and their clear lack of ability especially when we see other countries being able to move back to normality. A lot of distrust with the Government, not sure whether to get my hopes up with the current road map as I just feel like everything that the Government has said about moving back to normality thus far they have had to go back on. Frustration and anger at the lack of accountability that the Government have towards their actions over the past year. The current debacle about track and trace and contracts just being given to friends of members of the government rather than people and companies with experience in the fields of the contracts.

Context: Happy to be at home with my family. Grateful for our living situation and the good weather. Not worried about the situation. Bit anxious about how much money I have left in my bank account though. Enjoying the sunshine and the easter holidays and not having to do home learning . Glad to speak to my mum this morning and that she is doing well in isolation. Glad that no one I know has been seriously affected. Glad to live near the beach and be able to go there each day. bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
