Pandemic of covid-19 is a big natural disaster. A lot of people are dying and suffering from the sequelae of covid-19. Not just physically but also and emotionally as well. It is because pandemic is not just about physical disease but it also influences human mind and emotion a lot. Lots of people lost their jobs and family or friends. It really is a big disaster to human at this century.
Now people are wearing masks to protect others from being infected. Yes, you can say you are protecting yourself but the meaning of mask is more about protecting others from me if I have virus. If other people are infected, I also can be infected from them. So protecting others is protecting myself. So now people begin to think about this, group. In 21st centuries, individualism has been the most important value in most of modern society but now people are changing. If they lose group thinking and group protection, they can perish. This big change came with covid-19.
But I am worrying about the new mental diseases can happen during and after pandemic. A lot of people can happen to have mental depression, frustration, schizophrenia, etc. It is because pandemic is not just physical disease but it also influence us mentally, emotionally, politically and spiritually. Many people lost their jobs, friends and family. We need to prepare ourselves for this another problem that can happen after the pandemic. But it is happening now already.
