How have COVID 19 changed the way we interact with other people?

by Meghashree Das

The coronavirus is a viral illness that affects the respiratory system. It can be spread through droplets in the air or by contact with bodily fluids, and has been known to cause SARS outbreaks.

Research suggests that the virus may have an impact on our communication style and social behavior.


The virus actually seems to make us more likely to show anger and less likely to show empathy, leading to conflicts between people who carry the virus.

How does this happen?

It’s important for those who carry coronavirus to avoid conflict with others so as not to potentially worsen their symptoms or spread it further.

The article continues as a brief discussion of the science related to the idea, and then draws conclusions about how it will impact our communication. To use as a topic, get a good overview of the changes in communication and the reasons behind them. From this, our readers will have a proper and eminent idea on how the virus can spread due to the lack of keeping a good distance.

Note: The topic discussed here is updated according to the new sources and information sourced out by the Public Health Domain.

For example, if you are talking about a virus that causes changes in communication, look at an article published by The Telegraph dated 8th September 2015 which states:

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that includes some of the most lethal human pathogens like Ebola. They too cause severe damage when it infects humans – and that is airborne. The impact of the virus have largely affected communication and even associated social distancing norms. The article goes on to describe the virus and the impact it has had on communication. It’s important to note that you should still make sure to give your own opinion and analysis of what prompted the virus outbreak and how people will react in future.

In this case study, you are talking about how there’s been an increase in social distancing between people over recent years; however, there is limited research on why this has happened and how we can expect these trends to continue in future. In order to present your topic and give a good answer, you should start by describing how the virus affects our communication style and why that happens.

Coronaviruses and social distancing: disentangling the mixed message.

In this study, the authors looked at how researchers have tried to explain an increase in social distancing and tensions between people around the world. They concluded that there is a clear correlation between the increase in social distancing and increase in viruses such as coronavirus. The authors of the study claim that this change in communication style is caused by two effects of coronavirus.

Current state: How do we communicate with others?

Coronaviruses are a complex family of viruses causing severe damage when they infect people.


The study considers the impact of coronavirus on communication styles and social distancing and looks at why people are becoming more aggressive with their communication. Using information from a previous article from ‘The Telegraph’, the authors conclude that because since the virus causes an increase in aggression, doctors have changed how they prescribe medication to reduce anxiety symptoms. This is because many people experience anxiety when they come into contact with other sufferers who are also infected with the virus – this can lead to a social distancing effect where we avoid others to avoid anxiety-causing situations.


One effect is that people tend to be more aggressive and condescending when people are sick with the virus. The second effect is that people tend to trust their own perception rather than other peoples’ perception. The study suggests why both of these effects happen, but it does not suggest how to reduce them, and so there is no long term solution to this problem:

“The longer-term consequences of social distancing are hard to predict, but may contribute to greater political instability in some countries.” They feel that instead of focusing on reducing social distancing, we should try preventing outbreaks in the first place.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the coronavirus is the main contributor to social distancing; however, nothing has been done to suggest there is any way to reduce or prevent this communicational change. In summary, you should write a paragraph or two that asks what is the impact of coronavirus on social distancing.
