Context: I feel very angry that some people are not following the rules, they are visiting neighbours etc and bragging about it on facebook and I am disgusted by their selfishness. I am missing people during the lockdown and am being sensible and responsible by staying inside and not seeing anyone, but others who are not being sensible are making it last longer and making it worse for everyone and I think they are incredibly selfish and it makes me very angry. I feel sad that I cannot see people and very anxious and depressed.

Context: I am frustrated at the restrictions of lockdown and that this is now the third time we have had lockdown. Annoyed that I have had 3 holidays cancelled and my next two are uncertain as the flights may be cancelled.  Im worried about family members espeically those that are older in age. I feel apprensive about the vaccine and unsure if I will take it when the time comes and have been spending time and effort researching to make an informed decision. Both of my Children's education has been negatively affected, my 7 year old has missed almost a year of school only attending the odd few days when  I have been working (in a school) and my eldest daughter has missed lots of her first year of college resulting in her feeling somewhat negative and despondent about her course.

Context:
It's frustrating to say the least. Pissed off would be a good way of describing my mood towards this whole situation, especially given how we're all stuck indoors. I'm hopeful that the situation will be resolved but man, I can't help but feel selfish and bitter towards this whole thing. Sure, I understand we're isolating for our fellow people, but after a point, enough is enough right?

How many liberties are going to be taken away after this? How long will this drag on for? How are my job prospects after this? Why isn't there a better solution? Why is the NHS so fragile and underfunded? So many questions.

Covid-19 is a hoax just like HIV/AIDS is a hoax read Jon Rappoport nomorefakenews.com and AIDS INC.
Sars-Cov-2 has never been isolated this is about population control read UN Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030.
Covid-19 vaccines are an experiment.
In the UK our government is keeping the population in fear.  The government will be put before Nuremberg type trials at some point in the future.
Why governments listening to Bill Gates, George Soros and their cronies?
My GP lied to me saying that virologists had isolated the virus - that's what virologists do! - he then gave me a ridiculous argument about our grannies each being worth £50M of other peoples money.

Context:
I am fearful, working in education without being prioritised for a vaccine.

I am angry that I had my first baby in April 2020 and my experience as a first time mum has been hugely impacted by COVID 19. I had to labour on my own in hospital, I had to stay for three nights without my partner being allowed to visit. Our after care has been impacted by the lack of services available. I have not seen my family due to restrictions as much as I would like. I last saw them in October, they have missed out on my daughter and I have missed out on support. Current restrictions in place mean I can’t even have any celebrations for her first birthday with my family. I appreciate thousands have died, however this is how covid has impacted my life personally.

I am so angry about this, and have now returned to work. My maternity leave is over and I have to leave my daughter in nursery care. I can’t kiss her when I drop her off as I have to wear a mask. She cannot see the smiles of her nursery workers as they are in full PPE. I cannot step foot inside the nursery to see where my daughter spends her days.

She is an IVF baby and so longed for. This experience is not what I wanted for her or for my family. We deserve more.

Context: I believe the death toll from Covid-19 in the UK reached 120,000 today, or 140,000 depending on how these things are measured.  Our economy is f***ed, totally, by a government that has flung unimaginable amouts of money at every management consultant in the country, and a few in the USA, that between them haven't actually managed to come up with anything that has performed better than any other country, other than the roll out of the vaccine programme - and that was the NHS's responsibility, not management consultants.   I'm beyond enraged by the sheer scale of the incompetence and I will NEVER be reconciled to our failure.  How anyone can think Johnon's performance is acceptable is beyond understanding.

Context: I think lockdown should of been earlier.I also feel very angry because you still see people doing there own thing walking together in large groups, going to the corner shop about 4 times a day, it’s like people haven’t got common sense. I think it should be more strict about the lockdown. We should of took more precautions from the start. Greedy people at the supermarkets going crazy and not thinking about others. Starting arguments with the staff Who are putting themselves at risk so everyone can eat.

Context: Significant Anger and disappointment that we are in this situation which could have been significantly reduced had the governemnt acted much earlier to isolate those coming into the country from know infected areas. Dire and extremely slow response to prevent hoarding of food. Dire response to protect the vulnerable from job loss and apply for benefits. Worried for the extremely vulnerable relatives I have who haven’t and won’t leave their houses for 12 weeks. Anger tHat the lock down has also been poorly managed persecuting the responsible residents

Context:
I have no real concerns about catching Corona - I am, however, in need of some different space in which to live and work and am feeling ground down by the lockdown. Recognising that I am lucky to be working and have somewhere to live, but both my wife and I have become a little short-tempered recently and I think it is due to living and working at home in stressful jobs without any route for socialisation or catharsis. Zoom fatigue is also a prominent aspect of my life!

I am trepidatious because people seem to want to ""go back to how it was"" but this was not without its problems and however trying the last year has been, there are positive lessons to learn about work, connectivity and community, and I hope these are taken forward.

I have a small level of anxiety about the Corona vaccination because I am extremely scared of needles, but I will not hesitate to get the jab when the opportunity arises.

Context: I feel uncertain and not in control of things and am left wondering when ur will finally end but information is conflicting and the government have no stabilising influence at this time. It makes me feel angry at how it’s being handled. Anxious for the future and the impact it will have on my business. Sad that I can not see my mum who is in the extremely vulnerable catagory and isolating in cornwall miles away. I feel I have little control at times and find this situation frustrating and it leaves me feeling restless. I’m not sleeping as well and restless and finding it harder to relax than I used to.

Context:
the government should have taken proactive action way earlier.
they should have looked at Italy and other nearby European countries as model examples of how bad it can get given the similarities in the culture, political views etc.

Context:
I have good feelings of my local area and country as a whole, due to the high take up of the vaccine.

I am however dismayed by mixed messages given by government rules, such as not allowing travel .locally, but allowing flights to different countries.

On the whole, I have glimmer of hope and start seeing light at the end of the tunnel, as far as lock-down goes.

I have personal hopes increased especially, as I have recently received my vaccination, and was happy to see a high turnout for the vaccination when I went to receive mine.

Context:
Whilst it is certainly getting better, the constant fearmongering of the media and constant reversals through the government instills fear of not only a continuance of the virus/lockdown but more dangerous strains.

It is gotten to the point where a significant amount of time has been lost, which has destroyed some of the most important years of life because of lockdown and being unable to do anything - whilst it is certain this is for the best it can get overwhelming/overbearing.

All motivation has been replaced by tiredness and that has propelled to new heights because of the constant repetitiveness of daily life at home without much social interaction.

Context: I feel like several countries are not taking the whole situation as seriously as they should. Governments are trying too hard to save money but do so by putting everyone's lives at risk. For example, Sweden does not appear to take the situation seriously enough, allowing people to move freely from Sweden to bordering countries. This will put both Swedish citizens in risk, killing many, as well as spreading the virus to neighbouring countries who may already have put more stringent rules in place. People will die because of cowardly behaviour from the government and it makes me very angry thinking about it.

Context:
I feel angry at the government spunking billions on their tory mates for things like track and trace which still doesn't work properly.  The vaccination programme is going well and run by the NHS, so it just pisses me off that they outsource things to mates and it turns out to be shit.  This government has basically stolen our money and given it to their mates.
I feel like restrictions need to be lifted ASAP as venerable are now vaccinated.  CV19 is basically the new common cold, so lets get on with life now.

Context:
I'm angry that people aren't taking the current situation seriously, it's causing death and idiots to panic buy which is leaving others without. I have lost my job which is frustrating as I now have no income because of big companies not caring for us people who make them money. I wish I could go about day to day life but to protect others I will abide by the rules. I wish I could see my family but I must protect them as they are in the at risk group, I can't see my sibling which is upsetting too.
I want to see my friends but I can't use public transport to see them either so a video call to everyone must suffice for now

Context: I am annoyed at how the government has handled the situation. I am annoyed that they blame the public for not following guidelines despite it being the government's fault that the guidelines keep changing. Sending children back to school before September is too soon; they should have let them stay home until then so the effects of the vaccination can regulate into the population. Hundreds of thousands of people have died at the hands of the government, and I don't understand how the government came to make these decisions only to back track them weeks later because of repercussions. I also do not think it's fair that the NHS staff are only getting a pay rise of 1%, it is absolutely ridiculous, especially after the past year.

Context:
at this moment i am angry at the damage these lockdowns have had to my kids - their wellbeing, their education, their future. We are being subjected to lockdowns to protect the vulnerable - who are now vaccinated and yet we are being told - at least in Scotland that we are not behaving enough to be allowed to eat out or go to a shop until at least May - thats another 2 full months - which means our lives will have been on hold for 14 months by that point. I am angry at how the goalposts for exiting lockdown are being moved - our tier levels in scotland are being altered so that to move down a tier the infection rate per 100,000 has to be much lower than last years tiers. My LA was sitting at an IR last week that under last years tiers would have us in tier 1 but under her revised tiers keeps us in tier 3 which is almost still lockdown. We had 1 infection in our LA last saturday - 1 !!!!! we have been mostly in single figures for the past 2 weeks.
I have felt recently that whats the point in being alive if i cant live my life and government are dictating to me who i can and cannot see , wher i can and cannot go.
We are heading for an overwhelming mental health crisis in this country and we are not equipped to deal with it. The pandemic itself no longer frightens me - our response to it is more frightening at this point

Context: The situation has been badly handled, poorly reported on by the media. It’s tragic how many people have died and unfortunately used as a political football and fodder for poor journalists. Statistics have been misused and abused, and neither government nor opposition care about real people. The vaccination programme is positive and welcomed but too much attention given to those ill informed individuals who are ant-vaxers. The delay in controlling the borders inexcusable and the disregard for the health of non COVID patients unacceptable

Context: I feel optimistic about the Coronavirus situation at the moment. It feels like progress is being made each day and the end is getting closer. I feel like I have got used to the current situation and it has become my new normal. Compared to the start of the pandemic, I feel less worry about myself and the people I care about. I feel less anxious than I did before. I am excited for the future and how it will be different when the world opens up again. Now that the vaccine is being given out, I feel like the most vulnerable people in society are going to have some protection and hopefully this will see the pandemic slow down and the virus become less dangerous and less of a threat to people.

Context: I am awfully tired of this situation. This is not to forget about those who have lost their lives/have their lives interrupted by covid-19. But as an individual I am constantly tired of this state of nothingness. As a university student, this state is horrific as I don’t feel like time is real when deadlines are still very much real and demanding. I miss everyday life and genuine social interaction. I feel like when every day life is “back to normal” I still wouldn’t be comfortable with it as I am now not so accustomed with it. Now that we will be allowed to see one person from outside our own house, my friends have tried to make plans however I am mentally not ready for it even though I really want to be out and in their company.

Context: I am disgusted with some of the actions of some countries such as Hungary granting Orban emergency powers to strip the rights of trans people, and disgusted with the inaction of countries such as the USA and our own. I am also angry with how underfunded and stretched our health service is due to past under-funding. However, I feel like I can see a light at the end of the tunnel as most people have taken the advice of medical professionals to isolate which is beginning to slow down the disease's effect. On a personal level, I have been feeling lonely in my self-isolation and am missing my friends and family.

Context:
EXTREMELY AGITATED. WORRIED TO POINT OF NOT SLEEPING PROPERLY.  CANT GO OUT AS PEOPLE ARE MOANING ABOUT IT.  FED UP TO THE BACK TEETH.  CANNOT GO ON LIKE THIS FOR SURE. WHAT CAN YOU DO, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.  REALLY ALL THESE THEORIES GOING THROUGH MY MIND, THIS VIRUS STARTED IN WUHAN LABS BY THE CHINESE, YEAH ITS VERY POSSIBLE DUE TO CURRENT RESTRAINT PUT ON CHINESE PEOPLE BY THEIR SO CALLED LEADERS.  HAD TO TRY AND PUT A FACE ON IT, TO EASE CONSCIOUS SO CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT.....NOT.
TO BE HONEST, THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS FED UP WITH IT.  THINK BORIS JOHNSON HASNT DONE TO WELL AS HE IS NOW IN INTENSIVE CARE AT ST. THOMAS;S HOSPITAL.

Context: I feel that many people around the country are doing their best to follow the government's rules however, the minority are still choosing to do what they want. I think these people should have much worse punishments than to be told to go home by the police. I am more scared for myself now, as new evidence suggests that the virus can have huge impacts on people of all ages and all health cases. I am also very angry at china as they have now started using bear bile as a remedy for helping cure this virus, which is similar to where this all started. there should be much more coverage on why this started and how we all can prevent this happening again.

Context: I feel very frustrated with the situation surrounding coronavirus. the response of our folks in charge has been very erratic at best. As a self employed person I feel left out of the financial packages and its like the serf or a captive on a slave ship. There is no real end in sight; the frustration of impeding real life is aggravating. The lockdown provided a bit of an earthing but its prolongation is far from logical. I appreciate what has been done, compared to other countries, but these measures at best are favourable to only some special friends and segments of society whilst 5 million plus like myself self employed have been left on the cess pit pile. This is a really crude practical joke by the folks who are running the response. It is now a new shambles with vaccinations - are we going to all get a yellow book next - no book, no access to daily life ? I belived the herd immunity but where is it - what was that all about - if one is immune why the requirement for vaccine - what spectrum are the vaccines - will we need another one in september again? When can I get on with daily life and like a normal person ? The fact a vape shop is considered essential but a clothes shop is considered non-essential ; I met an old pensioner struggling for shoes in town centre - he had the money cant use the internet and needs a new pair of shoes in the winter rain. that sums it up for me - absolute chaos and illogical. I accept the science and still the explanations contradict science. I accept the coronavirus is real and its potential harm, but what i do not understand is how certain people are getting better deal from the folks in charge - feels like we are in a medieval time. feel frustrated and my patriotic side is totally embarrassed my country (uk) is now an international laughing stock now, like a Mr Bean film. its really frustrating 1 year in what was supposed to be 6 weeks maximum and gone by the summer.

Context: At this moment of time the social media and the mainstream channels have been overtaken by the government to forward their global re-set agenda as announced by the UN.  Covid is just an excuse to usher their agenda.  To accept this agenda they will have to control the masses or their agenda will fail.  All these laws like isolation, lockdown, vaccinations, covid passports, etc are ways to control the population so that they could not rebel and the re-set goes on smoothly.  Covid virus death rate is less than one percent which is less than that of influenza virus, but the media is spreading lies all around that this is a dangerous virus causing a pandemic.  Small businesses are destroyed by lockdown so that their independent income is destroyed and they kneel down to the government.  This re-set is the brainchild of the elite who control their own organisations like UN, UNESCO, WHO. IMF etc and in turn these organisations control the government of countries.  People like Bill Gates, G. Soros, Rothchilds, Morgan etc have invested billions in vaccinations and to bribe these institutions and social media so that they only give false informations about this fake pandemic and to frighten the people.  We can only stand up to these powers by not believing what they say, protest against lockdown, say no to vaccines and PCR test.  The gene therapy (mRNA vaccine) is the worst thing going around and it will have side effects in the coming months.  This in particular is the population reducing strategy.  You don't have to search for evil anywhere, they are here staring at you in your face.

Context:
At this moment in time I feel extremely worried and angry about the Covid-19 pandemic. Plans I had made for the future have all gone and unlikely to occur again. Holidays cancelled, birthdays affected. I am very worried about the health and wellbeing of my family and friends who are all compromised due to underlying health conditions. People are not following the rules of social distancing and believing it's just the flu. Needlesly risking other people's lifes due to their own ignorance and stupidity. It has been difficult trying to get time off work in order to self isolate so as to protect my family. I'm lucky I work in a sector that can continue to provide a service during this time (therefore my job is safe) but they are making life difficult by not providing us with proper protection from Covid-19 other than wash your hands and here's some antibacterial wipes.
The economy is going to tank again just as I was starting to gain my feet from the last financial crisis in 2008 which hit a few months after I finished high school. Stronger sanctions should have been in place weeks before the where to try and minimise the disruption to the world. All travel from hotspots banned, people quarantined for 14 days, large gatherings cancelled sooner. Hopefully lessons will be learnt for next time. The only glimmer of light is that people are helping others in need. I hope this can continue long after this is over.

Context:
I’m sick of being locked down for a virus that has a high survival rate for the vast majority of the population.
I feel worried that I will be forced to take a vaccine that is as yet unproven to be effective at preventing the spread of corona virus or stopping someone from getting coronavirus. I’m also worried about how there is talk about making it difficult for those who chose not to take the vaccine to resume a normal life-it is unethical in my opinion to take away individual choice from a person to do as they wish with their own body.
I feel conflicted about it all because it is undoubtedly a tragedy for those who have lost loved ones but on the other hand, we are being asked to modify our lives for something that the majority of people will survive.

Context: i am angry at the way the government is handling covid. they are making silly decisions left and right, they take out out of lockdown when cases are still rampant only to put us back in lockdown a month later. at this point im not surprised at anything anymore. i want the government to take a look at what they're doing to the country and what thry are doing to the young people in the uk. other countries have gotten past covid like new zealand yet we are still here suffering because of the poor mismanagement that some people still fail to realise

Context: I am prepared to live with corona as long as we all get our vaccines. The government has handled this terribly and the blame on young people at university especially is disgusting. I just want to see my friends and family without fear of being reported etc but I also understand the importance of distancing for safety. It’s all very frustrating, I got a partner during this pandemic and although it’s going really well, we haven’t had a sleepover or some normal things couples would do because we literally can’t and that’s weird.


Context:
I have conflicting feelings.

What's happening in the world is horrible, there's no doubt about that, it incredibly sad to see and hear of so many deaths in the world because of this awful disease and I really do hope that we find a way to contain/cure this soon and save as many lives as possible.

Looking for a silver lining, however, I'm working from home and my mental health has massively improved because of it. My day usually involves waking at 5am, driving 30 miles to work usually stressing out in traffic, and once I get to work I'm tired before I've even started, then I have to do it again in the evening, usually getting home late in the evening, not having time to cook properly because I just want a few hours on the couch to switch off before I have to go to bed and get up at 5am again.
With my current working from home situation, I'm getting twice as much sleep as I normally do (usually only get around 4 or 5 hours tops), I'm not stressed and tired from driving for over an hour, I'm able to switch off at a reason time in the early evening and actually cook healthier meals, spend more time with my partner etc.
So although the whole reason we're in this mess is awful, by being forced to stay home and work, my mental and physical health has hugely improved.

Context: I feel angry about how the pandemic has been handled and the response of the public and the attitude towards it. This is in relation to not following guidelines, poor government help and conspiracy theories about vaccines. I am fed up of hearing about it on the news all the time. I am looking forward to 21st of June when things reopen again as the date is symbolic of hope. But I am also vary of the impact of new strains of covid that keep emerging as we do not know the impact it will have on the current vaccines and how effective they are against the new strains. Also as a student I feel anxious at my job prospects after graduation giving the awful state of the economy and poor budget for the next year.

Context: I feel angry, many travel plans were destroyed. Stuck in old job, which I wanted to change. There is a lot of fake news which make me even more angry. My wife is pregnant, I cant go with her for a scan to see and hear my future baby.  Planet earth is healing which  is one of the positive sides. I miss football - playing it, watching it. Sun is showing up after depressing 6month of horrible weather. My daughter has to stay at home which is not a positive effect on her mental stats given she is 2 years old

Context: My first reaction is that 'I hate everything about it'. I know I don't hate everything though. I love working from home and not having to commute 3 hours a day. But I miss my friends, my social life, my gym. This has been one of the most challenging periods of my entire life in my 30 years so far. If I wasn't living with a loving and caring partner, I would be clinically depressed by now. I honestly don't understand how it is expected for people to cope for so long in loneliness, in isolation, in the most unstable job market in decades. It is terrifying.

Context:
Covid-19 hasn't really affected me at all. I've been lucky enough to not catch it, and nobody in my family has caught it - but the fact that there are ""Covidiots"" that are ignoring lockdown regulations and rules is annoying. THEY are the people who are putting everyone at risk because they're too short-sighted to adhere to the government's lockdown. People going out in public without masks or ignoring the 2-metre rule, etc. etc.

Lockdown itself hasn't affected me at all because I rarely leave the house anyways (I suffer from anxiety and depression), so in some ways Covid-19 has actually BENEFITTED me - if I were to go to a restaurant it's now much easier to order what I want via an app on my phone than have to talk to someone face-to-face.

Context:
I am pissed off that China allowed this to spread, and even more so at the UK's ineptitude. If everyone listened to Bill Gates' Ted talk in 2015, none of this would have happened! He said that we should have a medical corps, similar to the military, with a team of experts ready to research a new disease straight away, and have proper people and infrastructure in place to develop vaccines etc.

Also the UK's approach is very silly, I can't think of much more to write here. At least the death numbers are going down in the UK, but  Boris Johnson is now ill with it, but he did go against the WHO and go for the strategy of 80% getting infected with the virus.

Context: I’m currently feeling cross that I’m not able to go to work and help my friends who are having to deal with the ever changing back to school issues because I’m shielding again. I feel useless when I’m as healthy as I normally am and am just sat at home when I could easily be helping them. Because I live in such a small village I’m more confident in how I can live safely around here, just hard that I don’t really know when I’m allowed out again! I am ready just to be able to see my family again, thankful to be able to bubble and have the support of friends that I didn’t have at the beginning of lockdown one so I don’t feel as lonely as I did then, glad to have friends and a community to support me.

Context: I am worried about what the economy will be like once this is all over.  I am also worriedd about how this will effect my business and whether I will be able to bounce back once lockdown measures are relaxed. I am feeling annoyed about the fact that I'm stuck inside and I can't follow my normal routines, but understand that it is necessary. I am worried about the safety of close people who have underlying health conditions. I am Mildly scared about contracting the virus myself, but I am healthy and young so know that the chances of me having any serious complications if I do are fairly low.

Context:
Mostly feeling fed up.  Not being able to go to work and not sure if there will be work after it.
My partner was showing all signs of the virus so we self-isolated before being told. I never had any symptoms at all. So now, we're thinking did she have it or not. Testing shouldn't be so hard to sort out.
I do think now the knock-on effect will be that funding for research might be pushed to the forefront now its affected the rich and the trade in wildlife be frowned upon.  Feeling ill not being able to go out for exercise.

Context: I am angry that people wont stay in and everyone who is staying in for there own health so why cant people do what there told. There seems to be certain people that dont think it will affect them even if it doesn't affect them with the virus the longer we are on lockdown the worse the economy will be and we all have to support our family which will make it even harder when this is over!!! Children are missing out on there education which is a massive concern for them and there well-being. I have got relatives that cant go out for the whole 12 weeks because of there health issues and we cant see them thank goodness for facetime, i do feel very relaxed about the situation when you dont listen to the news as i have my family around me doing things together as we have time and arsnt in a rush to get things done, we really feel like this has been a reset button for us and we dont need all the things we buy as you can do without them its just a habbit at the end of the day

Context:
I'm angry because we are being lied to there is no Covid-19.  5G is dangerous ask Lloyds of London they won't insure 5G. This is a globalist conspiracy against the people of the world.
Vitamin C will cure most if not all of the so called Corona virus cases go to www.doctoryourself.com and read about vitamin C intravenous, intramuscular and oral applications. Read the dosage information it works I stopped bleeding from my bladder in around four hours using Vitamin C when antibiotics take 36-42 hours to do the same thing. Vitamin C would help the underlying ailments of Corona virus cases.  I'm sick of being lied to by the politicians, corrupt scientists like Neil Ferguson looking for funding etc - who should be jailed - big pharma, idiot economists, the bank of England, the Federal Reserve, the list goes on. There is no pandemic just a massive lie.  The BBC shows coffins/body bags but not the contents and no proof of cause of death.  There are many ailments that cause our cells to excrete exosomes that cause us to feel unwell as our bodies remove them. No virus jumped from a bat to a human. Wahun was blanketed in 5G antenna. Go and read Arthur Firstenberg's book the 'Invisible Rainbow' about the effects of increases in electrical radiation on the cells of the human body - it takes six months for the damage to manifest itself and for people to become sick - it's not a virus!

Context: I'm so annoyed as a healthy young person who won't be offered the vaccine till July that passport's may be introduced to stop me a healthy person doing things because I won't be offered the vaccine because I'm healthy. I find it frustrating I've stayed in all this time to protect older more vulnerable people to now be almost punished. To me it makes absolutely no sense and is likely to just annoy people who are similar age and situation to myself. But to voice this opinion is called selfish which equally annoys me.

Context: The situation in this country has gone on far too long. People do not follow the rules correctly and as such we keep having periods of lockdown followed by gradual easing then we have to go back into lockdown again. There is a strong argument that herd immunity was probably going to be the best way forward and I strongly feel that the issues we still have may well have now all but been resolved. In the area I live in we have been locked down due to the initial tiering system and then the national lockdown for nearly 5 months now and it starting to really get me down. The things I enjoy doing with my family have gone. Holidays abroad, eating out, taking the kids for something fun to do all have gone for now. Yes there is a small glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel and my wife and me have both received our 1st jabs. 3 things I want to happen. Firstly some sort of immunisation passport so we can be free to move within this county and abroad. Secondly just open everything up again, people do not follow the rules so it is pointless keep locking down then easing repeatedly and thirdly keep pressing on full steam ahead with the vacination program. Anyone who chooses not to have it can stay at home and stew as far as I am concerned.

Context: Absolutely disgusted that almost a year later we are still in lockdown, our Governments have failed us by not getting things right from the start  living in Scotland we have no route out of this announced to us and myself and everyone I speak to believe  we need to learn to live with the virus. We have no key dates to look forward to other than the end of April going back to the tier system that we were in last year. We have been unable to travel to see family outwith our council since September and its beyond a joke.

Context: I am very angry at everyone breaking the rules, meaning we will be in this longer. It's not fair when others are abiding by them! It's so scary too when people don't take it seriously, people need to wear masks and socially distance and wash their hands properly. I am anxious and scared, I just want to see my loved ones and go on holiday and enjoy my time. I want to live as normal, but it's not possible right now... It should be back to normal soon I hope, I fear what will happen to mental health and the economy if it isn't, jobs can't survive

Context:
Angry at government for not acting correctly during this whole situation. Many deaths avoidable due to their incompetence. Many people have died during this which is unacceptable. Also, many are now out of work. The government incompetence is going to be felt in this country for a very long time. I am also angry that many people would vote the Tories in again because ""who else could have done better?"" Shameful.

If the NHS was funded correctly they would be able to manage during times like this and 10 years of a government constantly tightening the NHS was never going to end well in a situation like this.

I think it is amazing how together some communities have came during this period and it shows that there is hope for humanity.

Context: I am at the stage where I am very concerned about what is happening. As we are told we are coming out of the lockdown in a controlled manner we start to get news of new variants and that vaccines aren't the panacea that we were being led to believe. I am both angry and worried that this is being manipulated to change the way we live so that we never get back to the normal of pre pandemic.  I have no fear of the virus, I have had my first dose of the vaccine and now I just want my life back. I still do not understand why it seems that anyone who dies now seems to be another covid statistic, it is as though we are in a competition to have the most covid deaths. I hear of more and more people who are protesting that covid is put on death certificates when the deceased entered hospital for another reason (terminal) but contracted the virus in hospital or had a positive test after they had been in hospital a few days. None of this makes any sense. I am not into many of the conspiracy theories but some of what is happening just makes you think that something is not right.

Context: Currently I am not too worried about the virus itself as I have not encountered it, even whilst I’ve been attending work. I am more angry with people not following the rules properly as they’re hindering the chance of things going back to normal and I am anxious that there will be a further lockdown after restrictions are eased again. I feel less anxious than in the first lockdown as the lockdown is different in terms of I am now able to go to work and seems a lot more relaxed. I tend to listen and read less about the current situation as it can be scare-mongering and so I tend to avoid it. Despite the fact that corona hasn’t gone away, I am feeling more hopeful for the future however as we have a vaccine and cases seem to be largely under control at the moment- in the UK at least.

Context: I think I have quite mixed emotions really. I am enjoying spending more time with my family. I don't really mind being stuck at home at all and I'm happy to use Facetime to chat with my extended family. On the other hand I'm really annoyed about the way NHS staff have been treated by the government and the hypocritical way they are being praised while being denied what they need to stay safe. I'm also quite fed up with social media and am making an effort to avoid it. There are too many people with misdirected anger - having a go at their neighbours.

Context: Angry at the way the government has treated the NHS over the past ten years thus when it comes to a pandemic it is not prepared so what they now have to do is throw money into it and claim they could not foresee this. Correct they could not but the NHS would have been much more prepared if it was funded correctly prior to this. I am also angry at the way some of our population is ignoring social distancing despite multiple pleas from NHS workers, however, not as angry as I am with the current government.

Context:
My anger and disgust is more towards the people who aren’t taking the situation seriously and are still going out and endangering the others around us rather than the situation itself. The stress they are adding to the NHS and our health workers is unnecessary and unfair. Our key workers (police, nurses) are being treated with so little respect it’s disgusting.
Yes I don’t feel very relaxed being cooped up inside for so long but I understand why that’s necessary in the prevention of spreading it.

Context: I feel annoyed at the people who are not following the Government guidelines to stay at home and to only go out once for a small amount of exercise close to home. I can't understand why they are disregarding this instruction and going out and sunbathing in parks etc.  We are following the guidelines. We are both around the 60 age mark and in good health. I'm hoping that we don't get the virus or, if we do, it will just be a mild version. I am hopeful that the death rate will start to reduce over the next week.

Context:
At this moment I am fed up trying to work and be a mum at the same time, from our home. I am fed up of missing out on key moments with family, who won’t be around forever. I’m
Fed up of putting life on hold. I’m fed up of seeing my kids sad because they don’t understand why they can’t see family, friends, go to places they enjoy.

I’m sad that people have died, I’m sad that people are still very unwell.  But I want to get life back to normal - I am happy there is a vaccination and appreciate that it is being delivered to older people first.

Context: I am frustrated that people are not following the advice from the government and staying indoors, there’s people that are currently out abusing the opportunity of going out for one form of exercise and going on bike rides as if it was a normal summers day and if they aren’t going to follow the rules then the government will have no other option but to punish the rest of the population for the sake of keeping the morons inside, I think there should be heftier fines in place to further discourage people disobeying the restrictions in place and current restrictions need to be enforced more harshly

Context: I feel very annoyed and frustrated.  I am sad people are dying etc but im angry my plans are all cancelled and  i hate the feeling of unknown.  The unknown feeling just makes me feel horrible and like a pit at the bottom of my stomach. Its hard also to describe what is happening to a 1 year old and 3 year old that notice something is different. They just want to go to the park or friends house to play. People who are not following the rules need to have some thing other than a fine as its not working for them and ruins it for the rest of us.

Context:
I would probably say immense disbelief.I still cant believe that it happened.I am beyond angry how things have been dealt with by the powers that be.Im a little frightened,but less than last year.I am very apprehensive about the vaccine and my mental health is shot.
I am watching the world fall apart,and yet part of me thinks that its actually not that bad of an illness in the majority of us.I think the worse is yet to come. We will be paying both money and mentally for this for years to come. I cant really see a way out.I have absolutely no faith in this government,and little faith in humanity itself.

Context:
At the moment I feel pretty relaxed about the issue.  I do not feel at risk myself as I have been home working for the past three weeks. All my family work from home if possible or limit themselves as best they can if they can not.

At the same time, I see posts on social media about people outside, in group gatherings enjoying the somewhat nice weather we have. This angers me because they do not care about potentially infecting someone who may not be able to fight off the virus. We have a bank holiday at the end of this week and the start of next, so a 4 day weekend and I wonder how many people will venture out. Even more so as we have been advised for over 2 weeks now to stay inside, I think some people will start losing the will to comply with the governmnents instructions which will result in more deaths


Context: I'm upset at how the world is reacting to this. Most are following protocol and taking precautions but so many others are being selfish which increases my anger. As a future graduate I'm upset how this affects my ability to get a job, travel and work. I'm anxious because I don't know how things will be when it's over and we don't even know when things will go back to normal. I am an international student and being away from home and living in a high risk country is also stressful. I am angry for governments for not taking it seriously earlier on given we had so much time to prepare after China was hit.

Context:
I am angry that after over 100000 deaths those responsible for the decisions that led to those deaths are not only escaping justice, but making personal fortunes out of the situation.

I am hopeful that the vaccine rolling out quickly will squash the pandemic but don't trust those intoxicated by greed and power not to mess up yet again.

I am, however, looking forward to getting out and about again as the weather improves.

I am concerned that a significant proportion of those vaccinated early - baby boomers with disposable cash - will act selfishly and place those younger and poorer than them (upon whom they depend for the service economy) at greater risk.

Context:
the corona situation is scary, but not just because of the virus itself. In fact thats the least scary part, although we are not 100% sure there are alot of facts that science can present to us about the virus, e.g; how it spread, symptoms, how people recover and feel afterwards.

The main source of worry and anxiety and also anger is the government who are not doing enough in order to flatten the curve and keep as many people alive - e.g; under funding in nhs, not enough ppe. As well as that it is also the groups of people who either think that this is not an issue so still carry on with their normal lives going to work and meeting friends or believe it is some sort of conspiracy and so they also chose to ignore the governments advice.

Context:
I'm mostly angry about the seemingly endless corruption and mishandling of the Covid response in the UK. This is paired with a deep sense of frustration and hopelessness at the political class who seem to be able to act with impunity. There's an anger at divisions that have formed in relationships with friends who have taken a polar opposite opinion of the crisis, and a deep sense of dissapointment at how opinions and behaviour have been dangerously manipulated.
I'm also a little nervous about things returning to normal as I've grown accustomed to the routines and restrictions we currently have. As someone with anxiety, the thought of social pressures returning is giving me frayed nerves.

Context: I am much more comfortable and relaxed about the corona situation right now. Cases are down & the vaccine rollout has been successful and at pace. My children go back to school the week after next which will give us all more normality. They are excited about seeing their friends again. This in turn will lift pressure at hind which will be a relief for us all. My disabled daughter will receive her vaccine very shortly, as will I as her carer. This too is a big relief.  My older relatives each have received one dose of the vaccine while my grandmother now has had 2 doses. This has brought much needed good news and has lifted their spirits and given them hope for the coming months.

Context:
I feel robbed of life for over a year - my children have suffered greatly and I worry about the experiences they have missed.  My terminally ill father has missed out greatly - from the lack of support available, services cut, unable to see friends, enjoying holidays and just generally everything that would have made his life a little easier at this difficult time.

I feel we could have recovered from this a lot quicker as a country as we are an island and could have stopped travel right from the beginning that makes me angry.

Context:
Angry that people can’t follow guidelines and insist on putting others at risk.
Sad that someone I am aquainted with has passed away due to this virus leaving behind a young family.
Anxious that my children may be at risk as they attend the same school as my acquaintances  family. It’s all just a waiting game and I really wish that more testing was available to everyone but especially frontline staff. It shouldn’t take you being taken into hospital and basically be at deaths door before we can find out if we have been exposed/had the virus.

Context: I feel relieved and yet disappointed that schools are going back as I shall miss my children during the day and yet I know that school classrooms are a better learning environment.  I feel pleased for the roll out of the vaccine.  I also feel hopeful that the vaccine rollout might be the beginning of the return to a more normal l life.  I am also feel a little bit of excitement for this reason is also kicking in as well. On occasions I feel some annoyance at those people who are not following rules that are set out for the general public and making the situation harder for everyone and feel that they are being quite selfish.

Context: I'm feeling quite scared and stressed about the pandemic at the minute, but more anger than anything. The UK government has handled this miserably, and I think that's summed up best by the fact that many leading figures in government have caught the virus. As someone who is at very high risk due to being on multiple high dose medications for asthma (and also smokes, although I have cut down greatly during lockdown due to fear for my health) there is a very high chance that I will get the virus seriously, if i do contract it. I haven't left the house since 15th march and it's boring but I'm very happy with staying in if it means I am safe. my biggest concern is that the government will ease restrictions too early - in order to try and save the dying economy they could put us all at risk of an even deadlier second wave. I am in my early 20s and I haven't received a letter about my vulnerable status from the NHS, which is absurd since despite my age I am very at risk and the asmtha uk guidelines say i should be included with the shielding group. I think the government has included the very bare minimum of people in the extremely vulnerable category in order to only just cover their backs. It makes me so angry that the NHS is unable to cope with the pandemic due to so much austerity and cuts from the tory government, yet people seem to think that Boris johnson is doing a really good job or that he is some sort of hero or martyr. It makes me sad to think of how different this situation would have been under a corbyn government. I can't pay rent due to losing my job which adds to another level of stress for me.

Context: I feel pissed off that the Government has shown such poor leadership throughout this pandemic. I feel pissed off that they’ve wasted billions of pounds on ineffective PPE but then can only manage to give the NHS a measly 1% pay rise after everything they have so selflessly done. I feel pissed off that I’m a Teacher and now have to go into school without being vaccinated when other countries are putting their Teachers first. I don’t understand why they couldn’t have gradually brought the children back to school in stages rather than all at once. I don’t understand why the test and trace system was so badly managed and  executed. I really think this government need to go.

Context:
Well I'm on the last 3 episodes of the Office (American one), and, although there's a definite downslide in quality in the last couple seasons, the world is coming to an end. Their world, in the show. They will stop existing once the show finale concludes. And I welcome when the finale of the human race concludes. Planet earth deserves better.

And my response has to be at least 500 characters? But also only a few sentences. That is what you'd call a ""catch-22."" 500 characters is not found in only a few sentences. So now my feeling about the Corona situation is that, literally, everyone has lost their mind.

Context:
personally not too worried about catching it myself since im staying at home all the time, although i am appauled as to how the goverment responded to it, especially the UK goverment, they didnt start doing anything about it until way too late, and even then they didnt make it mandatory, just a suggestion, and they wouldnt follow their own suggestions

also I feel terrible for all the older people who are in the at risk category because I bet most of living in fear and are probably going crazy being stuck at home for weeks at a time

Context: People are out of work and it's making our country's economy crash, so that's very frustrating. I know the death rate is much lower than most people realise, due to unreported cases. Overall it is a really frustrating situation. It is upsetting that people are losing their loved ones, and I was feeling extremely anxious when my significant other had the symptoms, but my anxiety went away after she got better. Overall I don't see this as a depressing or sad time, in general. Around 4% of all motorcycle accidents result in death, but people seem to be riding motorcycles without any worries; I try to see it like that. Although obviously the comparison could be better, as there are multiple positives to riding a motorcycle, people choose to ride them, and etc, but I hope people still realise that the risks are the same, and the risk of riding a motorcycle is really not that high.

Context: Missing family and friends. The thought of rules and dates getting pushed back worries me. Government not handled it well, masks should of been bought in earlier. Lock down should of been bought in before the 1sr one they waited to long. But the vaccine programme is the best bit about it. I have had my vaccine and it was a very easy process and put my mind at ease. I have a two year old that needs to be out socialing and seeing people his own age. He needs to see his family that he hasn't seen for months.

Context: I'm not really worried about the virus itself, but more about how the lockdown/ closure of businesses, etc is going to impact individuals, the country and the economy. I'm worried that this situation is going to go on for a long time. It's not really affecting me personally that much but I'm concerned about the impact it's having on my adult sons' financial and job situations.I don't watch TV myself and I get my news from non mainstream sources, but  I think there is a lot of fear about this whole situation and it's not being helped by the constant scaremongering by the newspapers and television.

Context:
annoyed. I would argued with everyone about everything. I do not feel like old me. Sometimes I wonder how much longer my partner will tolerate me..
I feel sick watching TV and all in the news is focus on the virus. At the same time I do feel for people with high level of anxiety because of that. Those numbers should stop immediately not to scare people. they do not do any good to anyone.
I am also worried that I will lose my job and won't be able to provide and find new job.  All what has happened since march last year is a farce.  We are  being ruled by the clueless bunch of people that are unable to admit to their mistakes. Telling people not to do something but acting like it does not apply to them. That makes me really angry.

Context: I am mostly angry at the government's handling of the pandemic. 126,000 people are dead because of the Conservative's selfishness and incompetence. £10 billion pounds of taxpayer money was given to their friends, and wasted on a failed track and trace service. The Tories' handling of the pandemic has been the final straw in wanting to leave the UK and live the rest of my life in another country. I had my first vaccination yesterday and I feel unwell, but optimistic that after my next jab in June I will be mostly immune to covid and I can stop living my life fearfully. My mask is strawberry print and VERY cute though, so I think I will wear it after the mandate to wear them is lifted, particularly this coming winter during flu season, as I never organise my flu jab.

Context: I am frustrated at the amount of people not listening. I am frustrated in that my job is being made harder by people that don’t listen. I am worried for my colleagues working within the hospitals. I am frustrated that the number of people that are dying from is not enough to deter those flouting the rules. And the number of people that are making inessential journeys is unbelievable. The staff working to keep everyone safe and those exposed to it whilst treating patients throughly deserve the recognition warranted by what they are doing.

Context: I feel angry that we have been deprived of so much for something that was not our fault. People are so afraid of dying of something that has a very high survival rate that they have forgotten what it means to truly live and are all too happy to give up their freedom and liberty. I feel worried that our government is mismanaged the  situation and is going to eventually force us to have a vaccine that I fear has not been fully tested and despite all this the lockdowns will continue and people will lose livelihoods.

Context: I feel that Cronyvirus is a contrived event to justify a bio security state and usher in a scam known as the Great Reset. I want my freedom back and I am severely miffed by the overreach of the Government. Even if there was a pandemic the fascistic approach of the powers that shouldn't be would be unacceptable. I think killing of the elderly by the Government's policies is a crime and those responsible for them should be tried. The feelings I have are anger, disdain and frustration. People are separated from friends loved ones and the things they like to do for no reason. The gullible and passive public are very sad indeed.

Context: I am very worried about the high cases and deaths all around the world. I do not feel as if the governments around the world are doing everything possible to stop the spread of the virus and trying to find a cure for the virus. Hoping this will all end soon and everyones lives can go back to routine. This year I had planned to go on many trips but feel very sad that most of them will not happen. I feel as if many people are not taking this pandemic seriously and are continuing to go outside for unnecessary reasons and do not apply social distancing. if they continue to do this it will take longer to flatten the curve.

Context: im worried as to how we are going to come out of the lockdown and how things are going to return to normal. I am angry at china because it seems like they are the the direct cause of the virus, they informed countries to late which didnt give us and the nhs time to prepare. im angry at boris johnson because he ignored alot of advice and scientific data and allowed people from virus hotspots into the country. to allow further spread. donald trump seems to think the economy is more important than peoples lives. some people in my country are ignoring the lockdown advice and have been gathering in large crowds at my local park.

Context: Angry that it has gone this far. Filled with worry what will happen to our country. I dont see how we will get out of this lockdown anytime soon. Really missing seeing family and spending time doing stuff as a family. Cant wait for normal life to go back to normal and we can all enjoy our lives. The goverment now need a exit lockdown plan so we all know where we stand and businesses have clarity as to where they stand and what to do next. I do feel angry that the situation in our country got this far, people have been loosing their lives over this.

Context: My teenage son, who is autistic, doesn't understand that he cannot go shopping with his Mum but sees other people doing similar. Whilst out on a run, I've just caught my teenage daughter walking along with her boyfriend and doesn't see anything wrong. At this time I feel it will be stupidity and complacency that kills me. It doesn't matter what I say or do, I appear to be in the wrong. I cannot believe that despite all the coverage that they are still not convinced that it applies to them. I have no idea what it is going to take to convince them how serious this is.

Context: I am really annoyed by it. I am a full time student. I lost 6 months of college and it messed up my grades. I have barely seen my friends and have had to deal with depression as well as underlying chronic fatigue syndrome which as meant that I have lost some emotions and I have changed so much with a real lack of support. I am worried about going to university in September. The government half assed whether to go into lockdown, I have had family members die to covid but we are still expected that the almighty boris will fix everything and bring us all back together.

Context: Very worried as I feel people aren't taking things seriously enough. Also feel the government is handling it very badly. I'm very worried that my family could get it, I feel that because people are not self isolating properly, and people are not keeping a reasonable distance in shops, someone I know is going to get very ill from it, this is probably the most angry I have been in my life at a political situation, which I believe this is, as the government is clearly not doing enough to stop people from going outdoors, seeing friends and families etc.

Context:
Not fearful of the disease. I’ve had some of the symptoms. Angry with government response or lack of it. Way too complacent about the threat. More concerned about their careers than helping people. Annoyed at lack of Ppe for nhs and care staff, And annoyed at dismal state that NHS was in to meet this threat. Full of admiration for NHS and care staff. Believe strongly that we cannot go back to how things were.

As someone who had symptoms- shortness of breath and fatigue etc I found being in fresh air very helpful. Think there should be policing of open areas but not widespread closures of parks etc.


Context: It has become stressful for most because the country was not prepared enough to tackle this and the most vulnerable are paying the price because of it. The working class are having to sacrifice and face the brunt of it the most. The lack of equipment and preparation show that the wrong people are running this country and the system has been designed to benefit those at the top the most. Businesses have been exposed for showing their greed in such situation, using coronavirus as a marketing strategy to draw in more profit and also the selfishness and non relateable aspects of celebrities are more prominent than ever.

Context: At the moment I am just annoyed half of my university experience has been ripped away with no compensation. It angers me borders are still open and that we don't have mass testing to allow for events or even activities like the pub as proved in Barcelona with 5k going to a concert. This is a year of the best 'years of my life gone and I'll never get back for a virus that if I got wouldn't impact me as a healthy adult who exercises and takes vitamin D in my opinion. I appreciate that lockdown is needed though for other generations its just frustrating. This whole experience has come at an age I would put last to have it. Now I'm anxious about entering a job market and in fact in the situation doesn't improve lockdown wise have already looked at relocated to somewhere with less draconipoan measures.

Context: I am frustrated with the procrastination; no one is guaranteed tomorrow and we should just take our chances, I am fed up with the stupidity of the masses, the gullibility and being treated like an idiot by the government et al. I always wash my hands, catch sneezes/coughs etc, regardless of a pandemic, as people should - these are prudent measures to take anyhow to avoid other respiratory viruses, gastrointestinal viruses etc. If people only knew how much false information is being dished out from all corners, including manipulation and social engineering from the government, they would be astounded to see how much they have been coerced and manipulated.

Context: I feel  and think this is a con.  I have no doubt that the virus exists- however it came to be, and that it APPEARS to affect more people at the same. time in an extreme version of the flu.  I know that,  according to  reputable international organisations such as WHO, under 7000,000 people die during the flu season each winter.  I haven't seen or heard of any of these people who are so ill, nor have my friends and contacts, nor theirs throughout the UK.  I could go on but I feel angry and partly scared at what feels like theatre for an unknown purpose.

Context:
I have had two job offers taken away from me due to this situation, untold frustrated at this as I worked really hard across several interviews. The level of mismanagement of the situation by the government is appalling - no plan, no idea and no planning. Shambles.
People are being used as cannon fodder, NHS staff, gig economy staff are all being sacrificed in the fights to save lives.
Lies upon lies, denial and more lies by the government leadership team, they don't know their numbers nor do they have an ability to tell the truth.
Our family is separated due to age and health, no government support to care for them, community, family have done more for them than the government has.
The lack of planning has led to this ongoing outcome.

Context:
I really do feel that Covid has exposed how corrupt this government is. It was only the involvement of the NHS that saved the day.

We’ve had Billions wasted on a private sector response that failed totally, contracts awarded without merit, and yet no money for health workers.

Lives were lost needlessly. And I think very few lessons will be learned going forward. One way or another we will be paying for this for a very long time to come, not just financially but in the numbers of people who will have to live with the after effects of Covid and a complacent government too inept and unwilling to appreciate the magnitude of their failure.

Context:
I feel annoyed at the uk response and really want to get back to university and normality like being able to go to the gym and social life like going to see friends and being able to travel

I don’t feel like there’s such a risk no old people have had their jabs so what’s the hold up

Character filling word word word count ignore this I ran out of things to say word words I don’t know what else to say to be honest please ignore this five hundred words is way way way too many words blah blah blah blah etc etc etc a a a a a a a a

Context: Very relaxed and comfortable in the restrictions currently posed. No anger but disgust at the recent budget and pay freezing of public sector workers yet again. Also disgust that millions have been wasted during the pandemic and not a single person has been held accountable. I'm lucky that I'm not directly impacted by the virus but feel disgusted by public response. As a family who have followed guidelines and worked throughout the last 12 months very little has changed or been enforced in any way. Self protection has been key in staying healthy.

Context: I have become accustomed to life with Covid. There are many negatives, such as not being able to see family and friends or not going on a holiday. Luckily, no-one of my close family or friends have become seriously ill or died. However, some benefits have also emerged. Fewer social obligations, working from home, and seeing the kids more as they are home schooling. I look forward to the end of the pandemic, but I also fear having to go back to a pre-Covid rat-race. This may seem selfish given the cost in lives and to the economy, but I hope we have at least learned that a different way of working and school is possible.

Context: Very disgusted and furious at the way it has been handled, the rules put in place have made covid less manageable and have caused bigger problems to crises we were dealing with before covid became an issue. Other health cases have had their priorities reduced and increasing with more cases and resources needed to treat them. I don't believe we will be back to normal by June, i believe they have given us that date to silence people. i have nothing else to say...........................................................................................

Context:
Unsure of the future and how long this will last, and what effect it will have on life in the future.

Different countries are using different methods for trying to control the spread of the virus.

Many deaths are being reported but I am not 💯 sure that every death is related to the disease.

The episode is affecting daily life as I am having to work at home which can be problematic due to so many people using the network and slowing down progress.

Shopping needs to be planned due to the number of customers being limited at any one time, as well as queuing to get in to shops. The panic buying seems to have curtailed now and shelves are once again being filled.

Context: I feel things are very much improving. A couple of weeks ago, there were sixteen hundred deaths a day, this has declined to three hundred. The vaccine role out is nothing short of amazing. It's really amazing what a few weeks and a few million vaccines can do. I am hopeful for the future and meeting friends and family. I am also very hopeful for weddings, gatherings, going for meals out, going to the pub and life returning to normal very soon. In my head I have planned getting my hair done, a facial and meeting up with friends and family

Context: At this moment in time i feel agitated about the way that people are addressing the instructions that the government are giving us to protect us. Also that one of the main people who was giving this advice are not following the rules and were caught out on a walk with their family at their second home. As far as concerns for my wellbeing, i have not been out much and have not needed too neither have the people who i am currently quarantined with. So at this moment in time i am calm and in the right mind.

Context: I think tired would be the best word. Tired of the lockdown, tired of the deaths, tired of the economic situation, tired of the vaccine politics.  Even with the vaccines i worry think this will be the end. Countries are going to require passports and are going to use coronavirus as stick to beat other countries with. Like the anal swabs from china. It's going to become another tool in the geopolitics playbook. I worry about the long term effects on my young sister, who seems to be developing into NEET even though she still goes to virutal school, she is stressed about going in person again, she doesnt look for a job, etc.

Context: Let down by the government relating to contracts and lockdown timings but relieved to have the whole family survive having the illness and not be suffering from the effects of long covid. Frustration relating to work but hopeful that there is still an end in sight. Dont believe the true scale of the economic damage done during this period has fully set in and it will develop into a much bigger problem in the coming years and will affect future generations massively as a result. Could be a very bad problem that effects the country for generations

Context: I feel that the restrictions have gone on too long. I am a healthy young adult trying to make my way in my career (and therefore contribute) to society. However, all the restrictions have prevented ,e doing so and have potentially ruined the course of my career. The heavy handed approach seems to have no end. This sacrifice was so that old and fat people are more likely to survive. Absolutely galling that the economy has been crippled for the sake of people who have put themselves in a position where they are more liable to ill effects of the virus or people who can more or less choose to isolate if they wish. The pandemic has really exposed the horrific level of health within our population.

Context: I feel frustrated at the attitude of the general public and the poor reaction to the situation from both the government and employers. I think too many people still have the outlook of ""it happens to others"" and that makes me feel anxious for the long term outcome. If we had taken it seriously enough to start with then we could have saved many lives. I think the amount of people turning up at parks and public places shows the poor attitude of most people. We should have closed the borders totally and paid for anyone left outside to live in a hotel full paid for until it's over

Context: It has broken relationships for me, it has taken away my good mental health and destroyed local businesses whilst the rich get richer. It has been handled disgustingly strategically and there is no care for anyone involved, no actual care being taken to the most vulnerable as always advertised. It's not going to go away, we have an immune system for a reason. I have seen friends go into depressions, I have seen new mothers struggle, people lose money, houses, inability to buy food, essentials, lose their jobs. I believe that this has been handled in the wrong way in so many ways.

Context: I'm not personally afraid for myself right now while I'm inside for 12 weeks. Stuff is feeling more predictable now, but I am afraid for friends and family who are keyworkers and don't have adequate PPE. As the deathtoll rises I'm finding myself more afraid for others in society too, sad at people risking their lives with out the equipment they need and not being paid enough. I'm disgusted and angry on their behalf, it feels unfair so much pressure is on them and some people don't even appreciate it.

Context: I think that at the start it was not taken seriously enough by everyone, including me. We still know very little about the virus and dont know what it is capable of. It has brought out the kindness in most people but the very selfishness of others, with the attitude of many being ""I wont get it"" or ""I'm young, I'll survive it"", forgetting that this attitude will affect their lives, their friends lives and their families lives. So although most people are staying at home and protecting the NHS and themselves, it doesnt mean that they wont catch it through the attitudes of people like I've described above. That is the thing that most scares me. I can do all I can, but is everybody else?

Context: i am extremely fed up as i am sure everyone is.  The world needs to get moving again.  Mental health is an issue for a lot of people.  I really miss being able to go to a clothes shop etc.  I miss seeing my family, it has been over a year and it is really getting to me now.   I feel the UK government handling has been appalling from beginning to end.  The only thing they have done well is the vaccine and now even that looks like it will be stopping for people my age.  I feel i am getting more and more depressed, my partner is the same.  We just want it all to end now.

Context: It’s all been very badly dealt with. We’ve never been told the full truth once and there is so much misinformation around. The restrictions we’ve had placed on us for almost a year now have made a massive percentage of people very unhappy and very unhealthy. Closures of businesses have been relentless, too many people have been left without a job or furlough that has ruined so many livelihoods. A vaccine has seemingly been rushed through which is giving people a false sense of security, but it doesn’t provide immunity from Covid either.

Context: At the moment I just feel fed up of the current conditions, I just think it has gone on for too long and things are only slightly getting better. It’s frustrating also missing out on crucial experiences in uni and also being unable to work. Life is feeling very mundane and it is hard to see anything improving in the future. It’s hard to feel positive without having anything to definitely look forward to in the near future, a feeling that has been felt for a long time by many people. It’s also a worry when the government are also so incompetent and deaths are disgusting ly high, something that could of 100% been prevented

Context:
I am sad that Covid-19 is so relentless. Perhaps it will be like the Spanish 'Flu of 1918-20 or the Russian 'Flu of 1889-90 (which could have been a coronavirus) and just drift away. However, the economy, education of our children, businesses and jobs have all suffered due to the pandemic. I am surprised that this was allowed to happen despite the warnings of the Bill Gates TED talk of 2015 and Event 21 of 2019. I was also very surprised at the transmission rate.
It seems that economic constraints have now been placed on the UK for many years to come and there is still uncertainty as to the efficacy of vaccination. I am also concerned that masks and social distancing will weaken the population's immunity to other illnesses.

Context: Done. Restrictions have been in place for far too long. There is nothing to look forward to, everything is so bleak. My toddler has had no social interactions with other children his age as he was born 6 months before first lockdown. My husband hasn’t been able to work for nearly a year due to his sector. We have little money and everything is stressful. Everyone I speak to seems depressed and agree that the days are hard. I’m not depressed, there’s just nothing positive at the moment - I am sick of going to the park for a walk. Plus there seems to be many in London and other cities who are no longer obliging - why am I bothering? The government has given away millions and will not be held accountable. I read somewhere that for the amount they spent on the failed track and trace they could have actually given every UK adult £500k. Kick in the teeth. I hate them.

Context:
I am disgusted in all the corruption undertaken by my government in the U.K. they have used the situation to make. Obey for themselves and there friends.
I feel that the vaccine is really taking affect now and figures are coming down.
I am looking forward to everything opening up again hopefully in the summer!
The British media has not helped anyone during this time with its scaremongering and the British public buy into it.
The nurses have just received a laughable 1% pay rise while the members of parliament receive 11%. This is an absolute injustice!!!

Context: I feel afraid as I am high risk. I feel abandoned by the government, who made it clear that the loss of disabled lives would be an acceptable price to pay for economic recovery - and they then failed to even attain economic recovery. The statistics relating to the disproportionate rate of disabled people among the dead are not being reported. The UN previously investigated and found the UK to have breached human rights in treatment of the disabled. I am scared, and I am full of disgust towards the government and towards the individuals who refuse to take the vaccine or even wear a mask because ""only a tiny % of people die from covid!"".

Context: Apprehensive about the situation. Sad and scary how many lives are being lost and how many people are affected. Some amount of fear as I don’t want me or my family to catch it in case we get bad symptoms. Being cautious and trying to follow government advise by avoiding going outside unless I really need to. I wish more people would follow the same advise. I hope they get a vaccine soon so we can return to normality and save lives. I will remain positive for the future and hopeful we all get through it.

Context: I am in a lot better place mentally than I was a year ago and look forward to the end of restrictions. These draconian lockdowns should not have been put in place in the first place as they have only marginalised the country through the Government's intended plan to make everyone compliant and scared. This has destroyed the country. I am disgusted and worried that the Government is lying about everything they plan to do and intend to force through vaccine passports which would be a breach of our human rights and ethically and morally is inhumane. This would discriminate and force vaccination on those who can't or choose not to, removing their freedoms which this country so proudly stands for. The anger is real, but I am trying to stay level headed.

Context: I feel frustrated at the handling. I’m frustrated at the thought of vaccine certificate and not being able to enter the world post covid without one. It feels like the government are trying to force themselves into everything we deal with. I feel frustrated at how long we as a country have been in lockdown, everything seems to be dragging and on many occasions I’m not sure I believe what is going on with the give. I feel quite excited at the prospect on coming out of lockdown. I am a bit apprehensive about how busy everywhere will be straight after we come out after lockdown.

Context: I had been using the gym when the first lockdown was lifted, which improved my mental health and physical health greatly. However my country has been locked down twice since I started using the gym and my mental health has suffered greatly and I have not even left the house for like 3 months. The only good thing is that I am employed, compared to when I was not during the first lockdown. I am a teacher and teaching online has been a blessing as I get to use my voice everyday, something which I was not doing during the first lockdown.

Context: I am furious at the way our government has dealt with it. I am sad because I cant see my dad who is in a hospice. I am angry as the nhs is under funded and the nurses have no pay rise. I am saddened by the amount of deaths we have had in this country. i am also very concerned how we will come out of lockdown. this last year has really highlighted the inadequacies of many governments around the world. the vaccination program should be worldwide. I worry about travel and spreading the virus. I really don't want to wear a mask forever. I don't feel very hopeful. I defiantly have lockdown depression like a ,lt of people i know

Context:
I think people should learn to follow the advice from our government and stay inside, people who keep going out for non urgent things, hanging around in crowds, heading to the beach are going to make the restrictions last longer as they are giving the virus somewhere to go, carrying it to other people flouting the advice given, they’re selfish only caring about their happiness in the now… they need to learn to consider other people and the future.

I understand being stuck inside sucks, but spreading the virus around to vulnerable people and killing off peoples loved ones by infecting them would suck a hell of a lot more.

Context: I feel like it’s starting to come to an end, I feel drained and tired of living the same day everyday. But I am well and healthy. Covid-19 just feels like a part of my life now, I’ve learnt to live with it. I do really miss my old life though, going out and having fun with friends. I think about past memories and future ones to come once this is al over. I’m grateful I never got unwell and contracted the virus and even more grateful none of my family members did. The pandemic is really effecting my motivates toon at university though, I’m struggling to keep focus and maintain my standard of work
