TABLE C1.
Classification of the responses.
| Response | Classification |
| Self-isolate and try to figure the problem with the ambulance. | Unclear |
| Nothing will happen to him/her. | Skeptic |
| Since the doctors cannot be relied on, self-treatment seems the best option. | Trust |
| Human lives cannot be trusted to such doctors. | Trust |
| One cannot speak on behalf of Robert without knowing him. | Unclear |
| Not to infect others. | Concern for others |
| Wake up, take care of your body hygiene: brush your teeth, rinse the throat, drink tea. Do not be afraid of anything, keep hygiene and live your daily life. | Skeptic |
| The best option in the given situation. | Unclear |
| If the doctors are not competent and the hospital is not sufficiently equipped it makes no sense to seek treatment. | Trust |
| Seek treatment in case of worsening symptoms. | Wait |
| Go to the doctor in case of worsening symptoms. | Wait |
| If Anna got an ordinary flu, the likelihood of getting sick with COVID-19 in the hospital will only increase. | Wait |
| It does not make sense to go to hospital in these circumstances. | Trust |
| This option is the most appropriate among all. There is no capacity in the hospital in case of the second option. In case of the third option people around are under risk. The last option would be more appropriate if there were many medical institutions. In the meantime, self-treatment without knowledge is useless. | Trust |
| Since COVID-19 is fake. I would respond differently, if all these were true. | Skeptic |
| Given the circumstances, Anna’s condition will get even worse in the hospital. | Trust |
| If a treatment for this illness does not exist it does not make sense to seek treatment, especially when the doctors are of such quality. Better to self-treat oneself at home. | Trust |
| Self-treatment: given the description, the patient would not receive sufficient treatment in the hospital. | Trust |
| Given the circumstances it does not make sense to go to the doctor. The most sensible option is at least to self-isolate not to harm others around. | Trust |
| If the health system is in such a horrible state, then it makes no sense to seek treatment. Furthermore, everyone understood that everything happening around is 90% fake. Something else is masked under this and people are being cheated. | Trust |
| I am skeptical about all this. | Skeptic |
| He/she should rely on himself/herself. | Trust |
| It can be a simple flu. | Wait |
| If the country lacks good health system, that is the only option. The health system should induce trust. | Trust |
| Maybe it is also a matter of national mentality. In any case, in the given circumstances it is better to rely on the care of adequate relatives, since from psychological perspective he/she will recover faster. | Trust |
| If he/she must queue and there is a chance that he/she is sick, he/she can infect others. In these circumstances, one should self-isolate not to infect others. | Concern for others |
| I think, first one should self-isolate himself/herself, if there are no serious symptoms. | Wait |
| Not to infect others. | Concern for others |
| Wait for worsening of the situation. | Wait |
| If the hospitals are in abovementioned condition, it is better to self-isolate. | Trust |
| Trust in self-isolation. | Trust |
| At least people are more caring at home. | Trust |
| Self-isolate, so that others do not get sick. | Concern for others |
| If Robert does not trust doctors, he can at least ask advice from relatives. He can also use literature and social media. | Trust |
| Since there is no such thing as COVID, I think he can live an ordinary life. | Skeptic |
| The most important thing during COVID is cleanness and the hygiene rules. If those are missing in the hospitals, self-isolation becomes more important. | Trust |
| Given the circumstances going to hospital is more dangerous. | Trust |
| If the doctors are incompetent and hygiene rules are not followed in the hospitals, going to hospitals is riskier. | Trust |
| It is better to die doing nothing than because of such doctors. | Trust |
