BACKGROUND: COVID-19 caused by a new form of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) first
appeared in China end of 2019 and quickly spread to all counties of the world. To
slow down the spread of the virus and to limit the pressure on the health care
systems, different regulations and recommendations have been implemented by
authorities, comprising amongst others the closure of all entertainment venues
and social distancing. These measures have received mixed reactions, particularly
from young individuals, with many not following available advice. Drawing on the
information in social media discussion forums, the present study explores the
reasons why people ignore the orders and recommendations of the authorities and
why the authorities are unable to produce a shared sense of inclusion concerning
protective measures against the COVID-19 outbreak. METHODS: Three open-access
social media forums (Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube comments) were systematically
searched with respect to COVID-19-related beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours of
individuals. The data was retrieved in the first 3 weeks of March 2020.
Qualitative document analysis and qualitative content analysis were used as the
methodical approach. The data was reviewed by all authors and jointly interpreted
to minimise inconsistencies. RESULTS: The study reveals that reasons such as
information pollution on social media, the persistence of uncertainty about the
rapidly spreading virus, the impact of the social environment on the individual,
and fear of unemployment associated with inequality in the distribution of income
lead people to ignore the orders and recommendations of the authorities. The
findings suggest that government representatives and politicians could not
produce a shared sense of inclusion concerning protective measures against the
COVID-19 outbreak, due to not building trust among the public and taking concrete
economic steps to satisfy them. CONCLUSION: In uncertain crises, transparency in
the presentation of information and government policies emerge as influential
determinants in creating social susceptibility and solidarity. The differences
between social classes constitute one of the important factors that affect the
decision-making mechanisms of individuals in determining the necessary steps to
be undertaken in times of crisis.
