It is sometimes exasperating to hear when people say that social media
platforms have made our lives worse. This judgment is absolutely
baseless as these platforms have connected people all around the world
in the cheapest way possible. How expensive is a data pack, after all? This
easily affordable digital symbiosis has helped humans come to one
another’s rescue every now and then, and a cogent testimony to this claim
was recently seen during the dystopian COVID-19 times when people
succored others online to a very valuable extent.


To begin with, there were Instagram and Facebook pages that put up a
post each time something remedial or cautionary came to pass. For
instance, there used to be regular reminders in regard to washing hands
and the statistics about the deaths entailed by the deadly germ. While the
former made people remember the precautions, that latter, appropriately,
scared them enough to be responsible.


Similarly, frequent posts concerning the ways to keep the surroundings
clean, a big weapon against the virus, led people to make adequate
salutary arrangements. To illustrate, I got a video on YouTube that taught
me how used masks should be disposed of. For want of such aids,
unaware people might not have been able to create pristine enough
environments, and the death toll may have snowballed further.


In conclusion, as usual, social media platforms came in helpful in the
macabre coronavirus period. They got men and women to know the
medical trends, and they took part in keeping the places devoid of
contamination. This experience, indisputably, corroborates the irrefutable
role of social media in promulgating general health consciousness in a
pandemic scenario.
