The first pandemic of the social media age, Coronavirus disease (COVID)—2019 pandemic, hit humanity hard on all fronts by surpassing the similar 2003 SARS outbreak in numbers and severity (Sood, 2020). The widespread nature of COVID-19 soon forced all nations to impose strict precautionary guidelines and quarantine measures to restrict the escalation of infection and death toll. Multiple countries went into lockdown, limiting social interactions and confining people to their homes. People were hopeful that the pandemic would fade away as the year ends and as vaccines are rolled out, thus making life slowly shift back to normality. However, increasing knowledge of the virus and disease suggest otherwise.
