The negative impact of COVID-19 was not only that it was a pandemic but because of how it affected society’s mental state and communication skills.
The pandemic had us in lockdown for three years. It has been three years since society hasn’t been quarantined, but some people are still suffering the consequences of not having many social interactions besides family for three years straight.
COVID-19 has made communication worse for kids, teens, and adults. People often have a hard time making eye contact with others now because of masks and social distancing.
Teens often rely on technology for school now, searching for answers or using AI for help. People used to use technology for school only, so it makes sense now how they’ll rely on it.
Data from the CDC has shown that disorders like anxiety and depression have risen since the pandemic.
