The really important point about "appreciation" is ATTITUDE. It's practically useful to spend mental and emotional energy appreciating the efforts of the people working on your behalf, rather than spending that energy imagining your eventual "death by corona" (but that's just one example). What does it really mean to appreciate the efforts of others? It means putting yourself in their shoes, realizing all they have to do to produce their efforts on your behalf. Now, you feel there's someone--lots of someones--ON YOUR SIDE. That feeling may be called, "encouragement". Is "encouragement" much different from "hope"? It's, at least, an empowering feeling, which buoys the spirit. There's a lot of potential benefit in "appreciation", while there's virtually none in despair, fear, panic, and surrender.
