The Internet in some way has made our lives easier, for example, it provides easy access to entertainment and information. However, when used excessive amounts, it can cause, anxiety obsession, depression, and also isolation, which are all symptoms of Internet addiction. Internet addiction is listed to be yet within the latest edition of the statistical manual and diagnostic of mental disorders. However, a 2-year study funded by the National Institutes of health may change that. Beginning in August of 2017, the study could deliver sufficient evidence that problems stemming from more internet use deserve serious attention from U.S. mental health and psychiatric communities. Professionals that do recognize internet addiction tend to classify it as either an impulse control disorder or obsessivecompulsive disorder or to assist treatment. Internet addiction is additionally called internet dependence compulsive computer use, and pathological internet use.

To help slow the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the risk of infection, stay away from others at least 6 feet (1.8 meters). Maintaining physical spacing is important, even if you're not sick. Coronavirus spreads easily through the spray of small droplets resulting from coughing and sneezing. It can also spread through daily contacts, such as shaking hands, sharing things, or touching common surfaces. Some people may not have symptoms, but they can still transmit the virus to others. Even when they feel better, they may continue to spread the virus for some time.

It is a type of immunity that occurs when a vaccination given to a large part of the population (or herd) provides a measure of protection to individuals who are not immune. The theory of herd immunity suggests that in the case of individual-transmitted infectious diseases, chains of infection are likely to be blocked when large numbers of the population are immune to diseases [2]. Herd immunity was first used in 1923. It was recognized as a natural phenomenon in the 1930s, when it was observed that after a large number of children developed measles immunity, the number of new infections decreased temporarily, especially among children at risk. Mass insemination to cause herd immunity has been common ever since, and has proven successful in preventing 3the spread of many infectious diseases. Opposition to vaccination challenged herd immunity, allowing preventable diseases to continue to occur or re-emerge in communities with inadequate vaccination rates [3]. If a large proportion of the population is immune to a particular disease, it helps these people not transmit the disease, so chains of infection are likely to stop, stopping or slowing the spread of the disease. The higher the proportion of individuals who are immune in society, the less likely they are to mix with people who are carriers of the disease, which helps protect them from infection [4]. The human body fights infectious diseases through the immune system when the immune system is exposed to a new enemy-a virus-it deals with it, and if the person lives and recovers, the immune system develops a memory of this invader, so that if exposed to the virus in the future he can fight it easily [5].
