In this study, we used the simplified Chinese version of LIWC and Italian LIWC to measure people's psychological status before and after the lockdown in Wuhan and Lombardy, respectively. These linguistic features imply that social media users' psychological states were impacted after the COVID-19 lockdown, in both Wuhan and Lombardy.	./cache/cord-259149-svryhcgy.txt	./txt/cord-259149-svryhcgy.txt
