Researchers at Staffordshire University asked children to capture their thoughts and feelings about the lockdown in drawings, and the results are heartbreaking. MailOnline has the story.
An Associate Professor of Psychology has revealed disturbing children’s drawings from Covid lockdowns which show themes of death, loss, loneliness and restriction.
In a study by Dr. Richard Jolley and co-researchers Dr. Sarah Rose, Dr. Romina Vivaldi and Dr. Claire Barlow, of Staffordshire University, 68 children between four and 14 were asked to reflect on their Covid experience and draw how it was making them think and feel.
One child drew a distressed figure with all four limbs strapped down to what looks like a hospital bed and wrote “constricted”.
Another drew a personified Covid cell next to an upset image of themselves and captioned it: “I think Covid is happy and he has stol my smile” [sic].
27 of the 68 children showed the theme of prohibited behaviour in their art while 35 drew a person on their own.
Meanwhile, other common themes included furniture and buildings while seven children presented death and loss in their work.
Another worrying yet unsurprising result of the lockdown experiment.

This disgusts me. It should shock and appall the British people.
Anybody who can be shocked hasn’t been paying much attention.
A great many people haven’t been paying attention.
Although it disgusts me I’m sorry to say I’ve now become too desensitised due to chronic exposure of this callous mistreatment and Clown World lunacy to be shocked. I feel that nothing can surprise me anymore. We’re now at a stage where many will have acclimatised to the horrendous state our once civilised societies have been reduced to.
You guys in the UK will be telling your kids all about the good old days when doctors used evidence-based medicine to treat patients because they gave a damn about the outcome or remember when you’d call for an ambulance and it’d come within a few minutes. Just two examples of things I can’t see ever returning if I’m honest.
Sack the firkin Doctor. He / she is no use to man nor beast. All pension rights withdrawn. The evil bastard.
Pots n pans on Thursday evening dudes?
Never did and never will. The treatment received by and elderly relative just before lockdown was so awful that I’ll never trust the NHS again. The relative died. She was going to anyway but she was certainly helped by the medics.
As an ex-GP, albeit in Australia, I can’t get my head around a health system where only 80%, let alone 65% of GP consults are performed in person. I worked in a system where all consultations were done in person, either in one’s consulting rooms, at the patient’s home, or in hospital. GP’s also performed anaesthetics, surgery, obstetrics, and looked after their patients in hospital.
I guess this is progress!
There is an advert on TV of a woman in last stages of labour and the ambulance guy on his mobile being told to turn the baby to facilitate delivery. It seems everything is now being done via a mobile phone, doctors and nurses don’t even have to get out of their beds!
How quaint, od fashioned and inefficient was that face to face thingy.
You must embrace change Dr. G.
Next time I need to fake my death I’ll know how to do it! John and Anne Darwin had to go to so much trouble, didn’t they? But now, committing life insurance fraud (or rather, getting away with it) is just a Zoom away!
Christ Almighty. Other people scare me (present company excepted).
What a cnut… Name and shame please…
It’s P45 time for these people, surely?
The problem we have is these people are far too comfortable in their jobs they think they are indispensable. This needs to change starting with our MPs.
I am so disgusted by this news. The widow should be given help making a formal complaint about the Doctor to the Medical Board and have that surgery closed down. Copy all letters to the MP too.
If people do not understand the nhs has collapsed, this story should make that point extremely clear.
Disgusting.
The story seems too perfect. Has it been confirmed by police and/or responsible journalist?
Just because in “The Telegraph” doesn’t necessarily make it true. I can think of a large number of “news” reports in recent years which turned out to be hoaxes.
