    Abstract
    The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences of the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Twelve elderly people were recruited from a support group in Accra, Ghana. A semi-structured interview guide was used to collect data on their experiences of and coping with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Reflexive thematic analysis of the data revealed an overarching theme of "worry", and related themes such as survivalism, threats and challenges helpful resources and prosociality. Findings indicate adaptive and prosocial mechanisms adopted to deal with and contribute to reducing the spread of the COVID-19 despite their worries. Findings from our study deepens understanding of the elderly's experiences of COVID-19 as well as offers important insights for supporting them in terms of allocating resources and providing social and psychological interventions to improve their well-being.

    • Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
    • We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
    • We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
    • The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
    • Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
