March 11, 2020 is unlikely to go down in history as a happy day. On this day, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus a global pandemic. In the meantime, numbers can also be used to describe the emotional impact: According to an international research group, the world suffered a mood swing that was almost five times more severe than the usual emotional slump from Sunday to Monday – the unhappiest day of the week. The creators of the project determined this “Global Sentiment”. It aims to record subjective well-being after disasters.
