Acceptor. Not badly affected in any way other than missing being with my children and grandchildren. I do not understand the resistors.

Older people aged 55-75, Brexit voters and Conservatives were more likely to be accepting of the lockdown, according to the analysis. Sufferers had an even spread of age groups but was made up of two-thirds of women.

From my reading, sufferers feel they are badly affected in some way by the lockdown

An accepter. One of the many mantras I use when the crap hits the fan is: 'It is what it is, deal with it'

I'm an acceptor, no choice and no point in complaining, it's to keep me safe and as well as possible! I might as well accept it is, what it is. Not good for our mental health to resent it.

I have quite enjoyed the lack of pressure of no early morning hospital appointments, doctor's visits, childminding and being able to say, No, with a guilt free conscience.

After all these years, at last I have time for myself.

Annecan does Sufferer mean that you've got to accept it but don't like it? I guess I'm an Accepter when I realise that there has to be rules and they need to be followed. Never been a Resister.

Accepter.

Lockdown has worked because, against all expectation, there turned out to be many more Accepters and Sufferers than Resisters (the three pandemic personalities identified by King’s College), in the Uk
