Si, la pandemia cambio el comportamiento de las personas, hoy se cuidan mas, la mirada que tienen hacia la enfermedad es diferente, hay un deseo de conocer y prevenir. También ha cambiado el comportamiento de la sociedad, es mas solidaria, y el comportamiento de los paises, que se han dado cuenta que se debe dar mayor presupuesto para el sector salud, al que encontró la pandemia muy debilitado. El mundo en su conjunto ha cambiado su comportamiento, porque las pandemias deben vigilarse en cada pais y contenerla, lo que pasa en un lugar, también pasara en mi pais, nace la idea que el cambio debe darse en todos: pobres y ricos porque la muerte no discrimina.
Social media plays an important role in health behavior change during the pandemic. The true and false information might affect individuals' health awareness and preventive behavior.
