Impacts of Covid
impacting the worldwide economy. Thousands of individuals have been sickened or died
because of the outbreak of this disease. When you have the flu or a viral infection, the most
common symptoms include fever, cold, coughing up bone fragments, and difficulty breathing,
which may progress to pneumonia. It’s important to take major steps like keeping a strict
cleaning routine, keeping social distance, and wearing masks, among other things. This virus’s
geographic spread is accelerating (Daniel Pg 93). Governments restricted public meetings during
the start of the pandemic to prevent the disease from spreading and breaking the exponential
distribution curve. However, this scenario had drastically altered with the discovery of the
vaccinations. The research aims to investigate the effect of the Covid-19 epidemic and its impact
on the population’s well-being.
There is growing interest in the relationship between social determinants of health and health
outcomes. Still, many health care providers and academics have been hesitant to recognize
racism as a contributing factor to racial health disparities. Only a few research have examined the
health effects of institutional racism, with the majority focusing on interpersonal racial and
ethnic prejudice Ciotti et al., Pg 370. The latter comprises historically and culturally connected
institutions that are interconnected and Prejudice is being practiced in a variety of contexts
because of the COVID-19 outbreak. In some ways, the outbreak has exposed pre-existing bias
and inequity.
Thousands of businesses are in danger of failure. Around 2.3 billion of the world’s 3.3 billion
employees are out of work. These workers are especially susceptible since they lack access to
social security and adequate health care, and they’ve also given up ownership of productive
assets, which makes them highly vulnerable. Many persons lose their employment as a result of
lockdowns, leaving them helpless and unable to support their families. People strapped for cash
are often forced to reduce their caloric intake while also eating less nutritiously (Fraser et al, Pg
3). The epidemic has had an impact on the whole food chain, revealing vulnerabilities that were
previously hidden. Border closures and trade restrictions have limited farmer access to markets,
while agricultural workers have not gathered crops. As a result, the local and global food supply
chain has been disrupted, and people now have less access to healthy foods. Because of the
epidemic, many individuals have lost their employment, and millions more are now in danger.
When breadwinners lose their jobs, become sick, or die, the food and nutrition of millions of
people are endangered. Particularly severely hit are the world’s poorest small farmers and
indigenous peoples.
Infectious illness outbreaks and epidemics have become worldwide threats due to globalization,
urbanization, and environmental change. In developed countries like Europe and North America,
surveillance and health systems monitor and manage the spread of infectious illnesses in real-
time. Both low- and high-income countries need to improve their public health capacities (Omer
et al., Pg 1767). These improvements should be financed using a mix of national and foreign
donor money. To speed up research and reaction for new illnesses with pandemic potential, a
global collaborative effort including governments and commercial companies has been proposed.
When working on a vaccine-like COVID-19, cooperation is critical.
The epidemic has had an impact on the whole food chain, revealing vulnerabilities that were
previously hidden. Border closures, trade restrictions, and confinement measures have limited
farmer access to markets, while agricultural workers have been unable to gather crops. As a
result, the local and global food supply chain has been disrupted, and people now have less
access to healthy foods (Daniel et al.,Pg 95) . Because of the epidemic, many individuals have
lost their employment, and millions more are now in danger. Breadwinners lose their jobs, the
food and nutrition of millions of people are endangered. Particularly severely hit are the world’s
poorest small farmers and indigenous peoples.
While helping to feed the world’s population, millions of paid and unpaid agricultural laborers
suffer from high levels of poverty, hunger, and bad health, as well as a lack of safety and labor
safeguards, as well as other kinds of abuse at work. Poor people, who have no recourse to social
assistance, must work longer and harder, sometimes in hazardous occupations, endangering their
families in the process (Daniel Pg 96). When faced with a lack of income, people may turn to
hazardous financial activities, including asset liquidation, predatory lending, or child labor, to
make ends meet. Because of the dangers they encounter while traveling, working, and living
abroad; migrant agricultural laborers are especially vulnerable who also have a difficult time
taking advantage of government assistance programs.
The pandemic has significantly impacted education, although many educational institutions
across the globe have already made the switch to online learning, the extent to which technology
is utilized to improve the quality of distance or online learning varies. This level is dependent on
several variables, including the different parties engaged in the execution of this learning format
and the incorporation of technology into educational institutions before the time of school
closure caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. For many years, researchers from all around the
globe have worked to determine what variables contribute to effective technology integration in
the classroom Ciotti et al., Pg 371. The amount of technology usage and the quality of learning
when moving from a classroom to a distant or online format are presumed to be influenced by
the same set of variables. Findings from previous research, which sought to determine what
affects educational systems ability to integrate technology into teaching, suggest understanding
how teachers, students, and technology interact positively to achieve positive results in the
integration of teaching technology (Honey et al., 2000). Teachers’ views on teaching may affect
the chances of successfully incorporating technology into the classroom and making it a part of
the learning process.
In concluding the Covid 19 pandemic have affected the wellbeing of human life in a significant
manner. The economy operation across the globe have been destabilized as most of the people
have been rendered jobless while the job operation has been stopped. As most of the people have
been rendered jobless the living conditions of the people have also been significantly affected.
Besides, the education sector has also been affected as most of the learning institutions prefer the
use of online learning which is not effective as compared to the traditional method. With the
invention of the vaccines, most of the developed countries have been noted to stabilize slowly,
while the developing countries have not been able to vaccinate most of its citizens. However,
despite the challenge caused by the pandemic, organizations have been able to adapt the new
mode of online trading to be promoted.
