      I think most people would be lying if they said they weren’t at least a bit worried. I am worried about the wider impacts of the virus – how it is make a lot of people sad and feeling isolated. I think we are going to lose a lot of independent businesses and some people are going to struggle for money. We’re all in it together though and we will get through. The NHS is a wonderful thing.

      Yes, of course everyone is worried. But it’s not the end of the world either. We have been talking a lot about that so I don’t know what to add specifically here!

      I am quite worried, but that’s mostly because my immune system is a bit dodgy. I think the key is to make sure that you’re informed, but that you’re also not glued to the news. Talk to people if you are worried, whether its parents or teachers or friends, and make sure you keep up your social links – as these will help to reduce stress.

      Yes, it’s pretty sensible to be worried about it I think. There isn’t too much you can do about it other than self-isolate etc. so there isn’t much point in worrying all of the time. I agree with Rebecca and Tom, you have to make the best of it and try and pull together.
