Can coronavirus become a social stigma?
At the beginning of 2020, at the same time as the New Year celebrations in different countries of the world, the new Corona virus was released from Wuhan, China, all over the world. The disease was officially registered on February 11, 2020 (late February 2015) by the World Health Organization as Coronavirus (Covid-19). The outbreak of the disease, which originally involved a city in China, has now become a widespread pandemic. The official death toll in more than 210 countries has risen to several million and the death toll to more than 100,000.Currently, most people around the world are worried about this disease. Concerns on the one hand and social problems caused by illness on the other hand can cause fear and anxiety and other social problems when people are exposed to infectious diseases such as corona. Some of the problems that people with corona have, including quarantine, being monitored, hospitalized, etc., along with enduring pain and stress caused by illness and fear of death, sometimes negative feelings of others such as rejection, humiliation. And it leads to all kinds of social discrimination, and this causes the consequences and problems caused by social stigma, which is even more painful than the disease itself.
