** According to the source, the global anxiety index was calculated "by aggregating responses by respondents by country to the question 'I am more anxious than last week' and taking the difference between the percentage of users responding with 'agree' to 'strongly agree' and the percentage of users responding with 'disagree' to 'strongly disagree'. A positive percentage indicates that in aggregate, respondents are more anxious than last week, and a negative, less."
