Description
Jianing Tang, Tangsheng Wang, Jessica Cottrell, and Fanli Jia interview older adults who lived through the first COVID lockdown in Wuhan, China. Their study is from two thousand twenty-three. The city was sealed for seventy-six days in early two thousand twenty. Twenty residents aged sixty-five to eighty-five shared their experiences in depth.
The team sorted the accounts into three stages of the lockdown. In the first week, fear and a hunt for facts dominated. In the long middle stage, people leaned on each other for support and built new daily routines. After the seal lifted, caution mixed with trust and thanks. Health care and social contact stood out as key needs throughout. The study shows how coping changed as the crisis wore on.
