Living in the midst of this Coronavirus pandemic has allowed me to realize some dystopian characteristics. I have noticed a sense of unreality and an increase of government oppression.I believe there is an increase of government oppression because the United States unemployment claimed to soar near 4.4 million people and total layoffs reached 26 million. Due to this outbreak more people have to depend and wait upon the government for help. Although, the government are giving economic impact payments to citizens, all citizens are not eligible to receive them. A sense of unreality is seen during this pandemic because some media outlets are reporting false news. The false new is intended to involve fear, stress and anxiety.
