    Social media has become an important tool for sharing information and staying connected during the COVID-19 pandemic, as people are physically separated but can communicate virtually. During the 1918 flu pandemic, critical public health information was shared primarily through postal workers, Boy Scouts, and teachers visiting homes in person. In contrast, today social media allows global information sharing within moments. Its increased use reflects people turning to online connections and entertainment while spending more time isolated at home during the pandemic.

    Social media and healthcare pre-pandemic


    During COVID-19, the world discovered that social media is a great
    way for individuals and communities to stay connected even while
    physically separated.

    During the 1918 flu pandemic, which the CDC estimates infected a third of the
    world’s population, people didn’t have the same sources of communication
    we now have in the 21st century to quickly share news and information. For
    context, a public health report on Minneapolis’s response to the 1918 flu
    shows that critical information regarding the virus was primarily shared via
    postal workers, Boy Scouts, and teachers. Can you imagine learning about a
    pandemic from a Boy Scout knocking on your door, encouraging you to wash
    your hands?

    Social media platforms are meant to connect people and helped the world
    remain connected, largely increasing usage during the pandemic. Since many
    people are asked to remain home, they have turned to social media to
    maintain their relationships and to access entertainment to pass the time.
