Everywhere you go, everywhere you look, COVID-19 is everywhere, especially in the United States. As the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to push stricter coronavirus guidelines, average Americans are becoming more downtrodden. While millions are unemployed, thousands more are expected to follow the same path by the end of the fiscal year. Of course, anything could happen from here on out that could have a remarkable impact on the current situation. At least, this is what many Americans are hoping for, but will it ever happen? Besides playing Sweet Bonanza, you can enjoy a variety of other tasks.
It is unclear what is in store for coronavirus victims. But one thing is for sure, modern technology is going nowhere any time soon. Below, you will discover how modern technology has helped COVID-19 survivors.
Opened Doors Of Communication
If technology was non-existent, there would be no means of communication. If you believe your situation is dire now, just imagine if technology was non-existent. There would be no communication. In fact, you would be isolated in your home without the means to reach out to others. What type of life could this offer coronavirus victims? Not much of one that is for sure.
Having an open door of communication for family, friends, co-workers, employers, employees, classmates, and even strangers are the difference between living and surviving for most COVID-19 victims. You would be isolated in your home with no means to reach out to other victims, leaving you wondering what is the world is going on out there. If you believe in there is such a thing as an apocalypse, you could be living it right this moment if technology was not part of your life.
Staying Updated
Long-term isolation has been linked to depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation (thoughts of suicide), and genuine acts of suicide. Fortunately, you are not expected to stay locked behind closed doors forever, just until the CDC implements a nationwide reopening.
People struggling the most are full-time workers, extroverts, churchgoers, and those with a physical lifestyle. These people are finding it even more difficult by the day to remain isolated without human interaction. Introverts and people who are accustomed to spending most of their time indoors are not on the same level because they are familiar with isolation.
Where there is COVID-19 isolation, there is technology to help those in isolation stay updated on the current happenings. While it may not seem important to some, knowing the most current coronavirus death toll statistics is everything to those struggling in isolation. Technological devices, such as the television, radio, and computer, give COVID-19 victims access to mainstream and local media outlets.
Access To Endless Entertainment
When you are locked indoors, there are only so many things you can do to keep your mind and body occupied. Technology opens entertainment opportunities in the direrst situations like the current coronavirus world. What type of entertainment is made available through technology? News, social media, video games, movies, music, video chat, and e-books are only to name a few.
If you enjoy playing video games, reading the works of Hugo Award authors, listening to the top soundtracks, or reaching out to friends and family on social media, you will need a compatible technological device to make it happen.
COVID-19 Antibody Testing
The coronavirus pandemic has definitely changed how people live in the modern world. In fact, many people no longer believe they are living, but only surviving. Whatever the case may be, there is always someone in the crowd who would like to know if they have ever been infected with the virus in the past. The coronavirus antibody test is accessible to people living in suburban and metropolis areas. Some people living in rural communities even have access to coronavirus testing, which can be contributed partly to modern technology.
Thanks to state-of-the-art technologies, scientists were able to develop a test that detects the SARS-CoV-2 virus in serum (blood). The test is very sophisticated but non-invasive. Participants should not experience pain throughout the procedure, only a little nasal discomfort.
The high level of accessibility, sophistication, and non-invasive administration can all be contributed to modern technology. Without technology, the COVID-19 test may not reliable, accessible, or effective across the board. Fortunately, this is not the case because if it was, no one would know if they were naturally immune to the virus.
