The COVID-19 pandemic took many by surprise when it arrived in Britain in early 2020. Daily lives changed dramatically with the introduction of unprecedented restrictions and lockdowns. How did people react?

This book examines the diaries of 68 men and women aged 70 and above, capturing their thoughts and experiences over the following months. Although these older diarists considered themselves among the more fortunate at the time, their entries reveal both highs and lows. There were anxieties and frustrations but also much positivity and, often, a reluctance for an over-hasty return to pre-pandemic times.

Through these personal and contemporaneous accounts, the book offers a unique contribution to our understanding of the pandemic and its significance in modern social history.
