COVID-19 continues to present new challenges, burdens, and consequences in our daily lives and that of
young people. A sneeze or cough in a public setting may have once elicited a “bless you,” but nowadays
it’s more likely to prompt heads turning with looks of disapproval. For people who have, or have had
COVID, they may feel as if they contracted the plague, based on the way others treat them. They may
experience feelings of isolation, depression, and abandonment. The stigma that surrounds this disease
must end, not only for the physical health and mental wellbeing of those who have COVID, but in order
to help bring an end to this pandemic in communities throughout our nation and world.
