Opinions on social media
I consider social media as a literal life-saver during this trying times. People were forced to stand beside the affected from far away, and social media arose as the perfect solution to that. It took a pandemic to make the World realize that social media is not essentially bad, but how we choose to use it is how it really is.

My meager part
I started collecting information. All kinds of information. Where were beds available, where was testing being done, who can supply oxygen in these areas, and sadly, even how to arrange for the disposal of the dead body of an infected person.

Political volunteers
Another group of people gave me hope— the volunteers of a certain political party. They shared their numbers on social media and helped as much as they could.

The disadvantages: fake news
Disadvantages came in the form of excessively shared fake news about the virus and ways of preventing it. That is why, everyone was urged to verify the news before sharing it. Fake leads of necessities like oxygen and vacant beds were like diseases of their own. They caused nothing but a increase...

Healthcare on social media
The doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals were no less than Gods and Goddesses. They worked long shifts, sweating profusely under their PPE.

Social volunteers
There were several groups created to help the people find resources. I joined one of them to mainly get information and share it with my friend circle. Requests for help kept pouring in.
