How Social Media is Endangering Lives in the Pandemic

Under the traumatizing and seemingly lasting effects of the pandemic, Many people on social media still remain in denial of it’s existence entirely. While on surface level this might seem minor and insignificant, the consequences of such posts, comments and videos can play a huge role in the combat against COVID-19. 

As avid users of the internet, all of us have certainly at some point come across uncertified news from various sources that lack credibility. This very inexistence of credibility is why we dismiss such articles. But there are often pieces of information on the internet which have less obvious detections of the lack of credibility. Such information confuses the viewer and this is where the problem begins to stem. 

While some nations have recognized the dire consequences of these false articles and placed fines and charges against it. Unfortunately, many nations might not have acknowledged the severity of the matter and therefore social media was not regulated. 

As a result, more and more people begin to feel reassured about their thoughts and lowered their guard when it came to protecting themselves and others around them. 

So kindly follow all necessary safety precautions and guidelines. Sanitize, wash hands regularly and maintain social distancing. Together, combating the virus is made possible.

Stay safe

Charles Hitchens several years ago, had paid £700 to become the Under Marshal of London, the highest rank of law enforcement in London at the time. Charles needed a protégé and so he approached the increasingly popular fence, Jonathan Wilde to work under him as an extortionist and errand boy.  Jonathan continued to work for him but started realizing some of the major flaws of Charles criminal system. For instance, Charles when writing threatening letters, used to sign under his own name.
