What the experts say II

 
 In the times of pandemic, influencers do not stop the purpose of the blog on any online platform. The need to stay on style, the need to remain on high demand in comparison to the potential competitors, to most bloggers online platform is the material source - their presence is being paid for. The borders of responsibility and adequate content that is being posted for the audience of more than 100k followers might have a significant response. As was mentioned in the article of Telegraph (2020), the protective masks became the new fashion cult and after one post of a public figure wearing the edition of a luxury brand received thousands of people doing the same (Telegraph, 2020), meanwhile, the times are not easy to live in. More to that, the issue became far more serious: as influencers continued posting pictures with these face masks, medical professionals became limited with their use, because the pharmacies and fabrics are running out of them due to the panicked purchase of these facilities. However, one of the first purposes of the masks is for special use. 
     Besides that, Telegraph (2020) also raises an important question in regard to the necessity of such masks against the virus. As mentioned: "Advertising Standards Authority banned two adverts that claimed that face masks were the most effective way to protect oneself from the virus" (Telegraph, 2020), meanwhile, indeed, some doctors claim the opposite that such protection may act in reverse instead. 
Therefore, again we see the potential applied restrictions for the content public figures broadcast.

The issues and concerns within the media and society increase with days as an increase in the branches of the themes.

Reference:  https://biglionsportcom.wordpress.com/ Which analyzes the sports area as a separate culture for media attention. The interconnectedness between the mainstream and sport as part of our lives represents to what extent this sphere is present on a daily bases for millions of people.

The following analyzed article citation:  Benwal, N. (2020, Jan 16). Social media influencers must be 'cautious', says bombay high court.  Free Press Journal,  Retrieved from https://search-proquest-com.unyp.idm.oclc.org/docview/2338872451?accountid=17238 D igging more into the research of influencers on media platforms and their responsibility, let's consider other examples mentioned on the other platforms. One such reporter was Benwal who analyzed the problem from the perspective of the comparison between journalism as the profession and its nuances and influencers such as famous figures known elsewhere but online.

One of the further actions of the government were to restrict people's presence at the places of mass gathering, return tourists to their mother-land, and close the borders utmost. Moreover, later people were asked to follow the quarantine and stay home for several weeks, minding their and others' health.      The spread of the virus - the speed, amount of infected people, consequences - was different in the countries, and due to the cultural dissimilarity and mentality, the process of acquisition and acceptance of such necessary isolation varied between human beings.
