Abstract

After nearly 18 months of a pandemic and lockdown used to combat this pandemic, it begs the question of why has the pandemic not ended yet and how is this extended lockdown affecting people. This paper aims to understand the effect of conspiracy theories on the continuous extension of the COVID-19 lockdown and the effects of this “Endless Sunday” on adolescents’ mental health. By formulating a visual analysis, screenshotted images will be used as evidence to compare different situations with relevant theories for discussion. From this exploration, it can be seen that dissident citizens who do not believe in COVID-19 are responsible for the continual extension of lockdown which then leads to the continual degradation of the mental health of adolescents who are stuck in lockdown.
