Soumya Karlamangla in 2021 reported, "Here’s some good news to start your morning: California has less Covid-19 transmission than any state in the country"[1]. Karlamangla has reported on health issues across the state of California for both the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times. She writes..... In an interview with Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo who is an epidemiologist at the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Bibbins-Domingo indicated that fear, the lack of availability, community outreach, and social pressure were all factors in the number of vaccinations in the state [1].
When the pandemic began, I had no idea how much it would affect my life. In the beginning, my friends and I saw this as a relaxing break from school where we could hang out, but we ignorantly underestimated the severity of the issue. In an article written by John J. Amon, the Director of Global Health and Clinical Professor in the Department of Community Health at the Drexel Dornsife School of Public Health, it is showed how “As of March 23, 2020 five states (California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and Ohio) prohibit gatherings of any size”[2]. Neither Karlamanga nor Amon noted a distinction between the phenomenon [1,2].
Because of this law, I was unable to see anyone, except for the people I lived with. COVID limited the number of people I saw to only three, which were my mother, father, and brother. Not only was I unable to visit my extended family, I was also incapable of seeing my friends. This opened my eyes and showed me how I took my friends and other family members for granted. Not being able to see the people I loved made me excruciatingly miserable, and I got bored easily because I never knew what to do when I was confined in my own home. However, even though I was unable to see my classmates, being in online school forced me to reach out to more people. Shane Rogers, a Psychology Lecturer at Edith Cowan University, has noted how “56% of participants in [his] study reported spending more time interacting with friends using technology during the pandemic”[3]. Rogers, Karlamanga, and Amon agree that this practice could be beneficial to its users [3,1,2]. Technology has been crucial during this time because it allowed me to reach out to my classmates and maintain those relationships. Because I rarely spoke to anyone outside of my family, I craved social interaction and reached out to multiple people through social media. I had never spoken to one of these people before until the pandemic, and now this person is one of my closest friends. Without technology, I would not have been able to communicate with others outside of my household or preserve my current relationships. Even though I was prevented from meeting people in person, as shown by Amon[2], this had a somewhat positive impact because I made new friends and now have a greater appreciation for my current friends and family because of technology. COVID affected my social life by limiting who I saw in person, but it also forced me out of my comfort zone to reach out to people through social media. As previously noted, Kislza and Fenoglio's approach differs considerably, and they criticized attempts to the contrary. They wrote, "The absence of data supporting the allegation is surprising, yet sustains the conclusion that it is incorrect"[4]. They rested their case there. However, Kislza and Fenogli agreed with Amon's contention that it was outstanding research [4,2].
