MASS MEDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA AS STRESSORS IN VULNERABLE ELDERLY POPULATION DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC..

The present global pandemic crisis produced by the COVID-19 infection has exposed humans to a number of problems, with many of them being overwhelmed by a series of events and inexplicable phenomena. Everyone is responsible and must contribute to the solution, the world has realised. Unfortunately, the media and social media, as well as some health officials, have harmed a big portion of the world population by their behaviour and conduct, both directly and indirectly. In this research, we discuss how the media, in general, has contributed to the elderly's vulnerability to COVID-19 infection. In this opinion article, we establish the relationship between informative contents and the mental weakening of the elderly by making them vulnerable and more exposed to Corona Virus Disease through a series of documented media practises.
