“…Nevertheless, during a crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, it is common for everyone to experience increased levels of distress and anxiety, particularly the sentiment of social isolation (American Medical Association, 2020). A growing number of studies document worsening mental health status and levels of well-being (Adams-Prassl et al 2020b;Brodeur, Clark, Fleche, & Powdthavee, 2021;Davillas & Jones, 2020;de Pedraza et al, 2020, andTubadji et al, 2020).…”

“…In the opposite case, using an experimental set-up, Bogliacino et al (2020) find that a negative shock triggered by COVID-19 lowers cognitive functionality and increases risk aversion and the propensity to punish others, that is negative reciprocity. Public mental health is also affected by the cognitive bias related to the diffusion of public death toll statistics (Tubadji et al, 2020). These needs are all the less likely to be addressed given the lower levels of provision of health care and social work services.…”

The goal of this piece is to survey the developing and rapidly growing literature on the economic consequences of COVID‐19 and the governmental responses, and to synthetize the insights emerging from a very large number of studies. This survey: (i) provides an overview of the data sets and the techniques employed to measure social distancing and COVID‐19 cases and deaths; (ii) reviews the literature on the determinants of compliance with and the effectiveness of social distancing; (iii) mentions the macroeconomic and financial impacts including the modelling of plausible mechanisms; (iv) summarizes the literature on the socioeconomic consequences of COVID‐19, focusing on those aspects related to labor, health, gender, discrimination, and the environment; and (v) summarizes the literature on public policy responses.

“…Yet, at the same time, Luchetti and others (2020) found no effect of COVID‐19 on the happiness trajectories of individuals. Tubadji and others (2020) reported that Google searches for suicide decreased during the pandemic. And while Groarke and others (2021) report sleep effects that may relate to unhappiness, the work of Berniell and others (2021) found that usually isolated (i.e., relatively deprived in socializing) elderly individuals actually felt better off in terms of their life satisfaction during the COVID‐19 lockdowns, potentially because the lockdown imposed on all essentially reduced their feelings of relative social deprivation.…”

You'll never walk alone: Loneliness, religion, and politico‐economic transformation

The rise of subversive religious beliefs has been recently documented as related to the politico‐economic radicalization of places that feel left behind. When is the traditional local religious institution so socio‐economically inefficient in providing hope for “not walking alone” to become substituted by subversive religious beliefs on the market for hope? This article suggests a detailed methodology, linking micro and macro levels, that starts from the quantification of the individual gain from religion as a source for well‐being by providing the feeling of “not walking alone.” This micro gain is next used: (i) to evaluate a religious institution in terms of the social welfare that it generates, and (ii) to monitor this religious institution for losing its market to subversive religious beliefs, related to radical politico‐economic transformations. To illustrate this methodology, I analyze the socio‐economic efficiency of the Church of England as a predictive tool for the Brexit vote.Related ArticlesGainous, Jason, and Bill Radunovich. 2008. “Religion and Core Values: A Reformulation of the Funnel of Causality.” Politics & Policy 33(1): 154–80. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1747‐1346.2005.tb00213.x.Giugni, Marco, and Maria T.

“…Because of the highly transmissible nature of the virus, governments were forced to adopt restrictive policies to protect their citizens, such as city lockdowns, mandatory masks, and mandatory vaccinations. The COVID-19 outbreak and restrictive government policies may cause widespread psychological harm [2,3]. According to Lancet, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an additional 53.2 million cases of major depressive disorder worldwide (growth of 27.6%) [4].…”

Faced with the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, governments must protect the well-being of the population. Aside from considerations, such as keeping the virus from spreading and treating patients, the government should also be concerned about the mental health of its citizens during the epidemic. This study aimed to help users who develop depression due to COVID-19 on social media, reduce the cost of counselling, and reduce the need for users to visit the hospital for counselling. This study investigated the opportunities for blockchain technology to provide psychological help to social media users suffering from depression caused by the pandemic. Blockchain-based technology has been used to develop a new model that enables a user autonomy system to allow users to control their own data fully. The model utilizes a delegated proof of stake consensus blockchain to manage depression data to enable low cost and information security while discussing aspects related to trust, privacy, interoperability, and integration with other information communication technologies. The blockchain framework has been proven to provide secure and reliable information management that meets the user requirements for information autonomy. The framework can be combined with various other information technologies to extend its functionality further. Blockchain, privacy, user autonomy, depression, social media. INDEX TERMS
