The Effect of the Pandemic in our Society, COVID 19
II: Introduction
COVID-19 is a disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus. 'CO'
stands for corona, 'VI' for virus, and 'D' for disease. Formerly, this
disease was referred to as '2019 novel coronavirus' or '2019-
nCoV.Coronavirus disease 2019 is a contagious respiratory and vascular
disease cause by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. The
first case was identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019, this virus
is so dangerous and it can lead to a person died, COVID-19 can be
deadly for some people. Older adults and people with existing health
conditions are more at risk of serious complications, which can be life
threatening. Coronaviruses are single-stranded RNA viruses, about 120
nanometers in diameter. They are susceptible to mutation and
recombination and are therefore highly diverse. There are about 40
different varieties (see Appendix 1) and they mainly infect human and
non-human mammals and birds. COVID-19 is transmitted from person
to person via droplets, contact, and fomites. It is transmitted when one
individual talks, sneezes, or coughs producing ‘droplets’ of saliva
containing the COVID-19 virus. These droplets are then inhaled by
another person. COVID-19 transmission usually occurs among close
contacts -- including family members and healthcare workers. It is
therefore important to maintain a distance of more than 1 meter away
from any person who has respiratory symptoms.
III: Statement of the Problems
It shows how a people indured the crisis and how they live for this is
kind of pandemic
Answer the each following question:
1.Did a pandemic affect your module?
2.What kind of life do you have?
A.Poor
B.Simple
C.Rich
D.Can’t explain
3.What are the effect of pandemic to you?
4.What does Pandemic affect your daily living?
5.As a student or a person how will you help our society to follow the
rules and not breaking it?What will you do?
IV. Theoretical Frameworks
The Covid-19 pandemic is a violent shock for the global economy and
the labor market, generating an unprecedented environment of high
uncertainty. If we want to study the effect of Covid-19 on
entrepreneurial intentions and behaviors, what theoretical frameworks
are appropriate? Is there any published papers or other research in this
area we can reference? The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic
loss of human life worldwide and presents an unprecedented challenge
to public health, food systems and the world of work. The economic and
social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating: tens of millions
of people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty, while the number of
undernourished people, currently estimated at nearly 690 million, could
increase by up to 132 million by the end of the year. Millions of
enterprises face an existential threat. Nearly half of the world’s 3.3
billion global workforce are at risk of losing their livelihoods. Informal
economy workers are particularly vulnerable because the majority lack
social protection and access to quality health care and have lost access to
productive assets. Without the means to earn an income during
lockdowns, many are unable to feed themselves and their families. For
most, no income means no food, or, at best, less food and less nutritious
food. The pandemic has been affecting the entire food system and has
laid bare its fragility. Border closures, trade restrictions and confinement
measures have been preventing farmers from accessing markets,
including for buying inputs and selling their produce, and agricultural
workers from harvesting crops, thus disrupting domestic and
international food supply chains and reducing access to healthy, safe and
diverse diets. The pandemic has decimated jobs and placed millions of
livelihoods at risk. As breadwinners lose jobs, fall ill and die, the food
security and nutrition of millions of women and men are under threat,
with those in low-income countries, particularly the most marginalized
populations, which include small-scale farmers and indigenous peoples,
being hardest hit.
V. Data Presentation
VI. Conclusion
There are hundreds of coronaviruses, most of which circulate in animals.
Only seven of these viruses infect humans and four of them cause
symptoms of the common cold. But, three times in the last 20 years, a
coronavirus has jumped from animals to humans to cause severe disease.
COVID-19, a new and sometimes deadly respiratory illness that is
believed to have originated in a live animal market in China, has spread
rapidly throughout that country and the world.The new coronavirus was
first detected in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Tens of thousands of
people were infected in China, with the virus spreading easily from
person-to-person in many parts of that country.
The novel coronavirus infections were at first associated with travel
from Wuhan, but the virus has now established itself in 177 countries
and territories around the world in a rapidly expanding pandemic. Health
officials in the United States and around the world are working to
contain the spread of the virus through public health measures such as
social distancing, contact tracing, testing, quarantines and travel
restrictions. Scientists are working to find medications to treat the
disease and to develop a vaccine. The World Health Organization
declared the novel coronavirus outbreak “a public health emergency of
international concern” on January 30. On March 11, 2020 after sustained
spread of the disease outside of China, the World Health Organization
declared the COVID-19 epidemic a pandemic. Public health measures
like ones implemented in China and now around the world, will
hopefully blunt the spread of the virus while treatments and a vaccine
are developed to stop it.
VII. References
The COVID‐19 pandemic represents an unprecedented international
crisis with significant health, economic, and social consequences. This
scenario has forced the medical community to face new practical and
ethical challenges that require rapid responses. Early data show a variety
of neurological manifestations in a significant proportion of patients
with SARS‐CoV‐2 infection,1, 2 although there is little documentation of
the effects on people with epilepsy.2, 3 In this study, we assess the impact
of the COVID‐19 pandemic in a particularly vulnerable population:
individuals with genetic developmental and epileptic encephalopathies
(DEEs) and their caregivers. Although children appear to present milder
COVID‐19 manifestations,4 patients with DEEs present an increased
susceptibility to certain triggers related to viral infections and respiratory
comorbidities, are at risk of missing medical follow‐up and emergency
assistance due to health care resource allocation focus on COVID‐19
patients, and are exposed to broader sociopsychological impact related
to lockdown. Therefore, this study evaluates the impact of the pandemic
on patients with genetic DEEs and their caregivers in Spain, one of the
current hotspots of the pandemic.
