Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

To say that the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the world would be an understatement. In less than a year since the virus emerged — and just over 6 months since tracking began in the United States — it’s upended day-to-day lives across the globe.  

The pandemic has changed how we work, learn and interact as social distancing guidelines have led to a more virtual existence, both personally and professionally.  

But a new survey, commissioned by Parade magazine and Cleveland Clinic, reveals the pandemic has also changed how Americans approach their health and health care in ways both positive and negative.

Conducted by Ipsos, the survey was given to a nationally representative sample of 1000 American adults 18 years of age & older, living in the U.S.  

Here’s what the survey found.

Mental health challenges

Unsurprisingly, the pandemic has triggered a wave of mental health issues. Whether it’s managing addiction, depression, social isolation or just the general stress that’s resulted from COVID-19, we’re all feeling it.  

It seems to especially be hitting younger people. Of those surveyed, 55% reported experiencing mental health issues since the onset of the pandemic, including 74% of respondents in the 18-to-34-year-old age range.  

Of those respondents, four of the most common issues were:

Stress (33% overall; 42% of 18-to-34-year-olds)

Anxiety (30% overall; 40% of 18-to-34-year-olds)

Depression (24% overall; 31% of 18-to-34-year-olds)

Loneliness or isolation (24% overall; 31% of 18-to-34-year-olds)

Many are also feeling overwhelmed by the constant, sometimes shifting and conflicting flow of information around the virus and the pandemic. Overall, 41% of those surveyed claimed that they were so overwhelmed by COVID-19 news and information that they weren’t paying attention.  

Pandemic-induced hesitation

While much of the world has come to a stop at times during the pandemic, the need for health care has not. Yet, 38% of respondents said they skipped or delayed preventive health care visits because of the pandemic even though health care providers have gone to great lengths to ensure that keeping those appointments are safe for everyone.  

Women are more likely to skip these appointments than men, 46% to 29%, and as many as 15% of total respondents avoided visits for more serious issues like injury or even chest pain.  

“In a time when we need to be able to focus on keeping ourselves as healthy as we can, we must not skip preventive visits to our healthcare providers. When we miss early signs of disease, we allow it to grow into a serious or even life-threatening illness,” says infectious disease expert Kristin Englund, MD.  

“Our clinics and hospitals are taking every precaution available to assure patients are safe from COVID-19 within our walls. We cannot let fear of one disease keep us from doing what we need to do to stay healthy,” she continues.

This is especially true for children who need to continue their routine immunizations. As pediatrician Skyler Kalady, MD, points out, “We can’t lose sight of other diseases that children will be at high risk for contracting, like measles and pertussis (whooping cough), without those regular vaccinations.”

The required paragraph is as follows ::

________________________________

A new way of living.

Well COVID 19 really brought many immense changes in the lifes of people. Families seperated, families broken, families rejoined, families came closer, etc. are the situations faced by any family due to this coronavirus. Even my family also suffered the same. Earlier when there's wasn't any lockdown we all used to remain busy in our works. We then hardly got any time to spend with our families. But due to this coronavirus we can spend time together sharing each other's happiness and experiences. Even we can share the daily chores of each other and remain happy. Because of this there has been a prominent change in living style of our family. Our food habits changed. Also we acquired new traditions and culture.

Also all these finally led our family to get prospered. We felt a new joy by spending time with each other. Even many times we used to have joke sessions with each other at the end of the day to calm down our work stress. We developed a good habit to be self dependent on my our self chores. We used to do every work of ours by ourselves. Even best part is that I adopted many new techniques to study. I have tried go get more focus on my works which I do by having proper mediation and concentration yogasanas. Spending time with family is a great thing when you want to get happiness and learn good moral values.
