Answer 2

Answer:

Physiological and psychological attributes have a tendency to be contagious.

Explanation:

The COVID$-19$ pandemic saw a record increase in physiological conditions like obesity and psychological conditions like anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Since the world had to adapt and go online suddenly, everyone relied on the internet for many things, including emotional support.

Although good intentions and acceptance of issues like body issues and mental health were more openly and sympathetically accepted and discussed, a downturn was the creation of echo chambers. These were online communities of people who were a little too accepting of body issues and mental health issues and attempted to normalize them and enforce them, even at the expense of real people surrounding them.

We thus saw a spread of such attributes through social media.
