There have been a million and one problems causes by this pandemic. Finding a solution to each one has clearly been a difficult challenge for individuals, populations, countries and the world in general. However several helpful solutions have been provided already.
In the case of mental health, people have been largely affected by covid-19 and one effective way to fix that is by changing advertising techniques. I feel infuriated to know that deaths caused by this virus are not just from the virus itself but by suicides too. But did we expect people to not become depressed and stressed when all we see in the news and on the billboards is panic and disaster? There’s spreading awareness, then there’s spreading fear amongst us. Some people are thick-skinned and others are very anxious, sensitive, vulnerable. Whilst advertisements should indeed forecast ways to prevent the virus from spreading and how to keep safe to keep infection statistics low, they should also spread more positivity. More messages regarding unity. More encouraging messages that we can get through this. Because clearly there are many divisions within society and there are several people feeling unsafe and alone because of the battering negative words we see everywhere.
