How COVID 19 Changed Our Lives?

The Covid 19 pandemic was the biggest public health crisis in the past decade. During its short duration, it caused massive economic loss for many countries. Millions of people fell below the poverty line. In addition, the number of people living in extreme poverty rose to its highest level in over 20 years. However, wealthy countries were able to intervene early. They invested nearly $9.8 trillion into their economies and will spend at least another $11.7 trillion by 2020 to fight the pandemic.

While the Covid-19 pandemic has caused widespread panic and concern, the fact is that the need for health care has not ceased. As a result, healthcare providers have gone to great lengths to make sure people who are able to attend their appointments are safe. This has made preventive care more accessible than ever. This has improved access to healthcare and has led to increased patient satisfaction. Unfortunately, there are still people who are afraid to go to the doctor.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has affected millions of people worldwide, its effects have been felt far beyond health care. The social distancing, masking, and increased hospitalizations from the disease have posed a risk to many people. The virus's long-term effects have only just begun to become known, and we have yet to fully assess its consequences.

A pandemic of this magnitude could affect any country, and children in particular are at high risk. Without the proper vaccinations, they may not survive. Moreover, they may experience increased levels of violence and school interruption. Meanwhile, in poor countries, the lack of proper immunization services puts them at risk of pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, and other preventable illnesses.

The pandemic has also exposed the class markers in America. People in the upper class are used to working in stable environments with reliable Internet access. The untrained class, on the other hand, has no such luxury. They are expected to be more thoughtful, and more flexible with their workday. Moreover, COVID-19 tests were scarce early in the pandemic. Only the rich and famous could afford to have access to the tests.

While this was a life-changing experience, the pain and suffering didn't stop after she left the workplace. She has four children at home and a husband who works for a police department in Durham. And all of these challenges were compounded by the fact that her husband was also on the COVID-19 front line. As the pandemic continued to spread, Casey said she felt inspired by her co-workers who were battling the disease despite the fear and uncertainty. She says that the bond between the nurses grew as the outbreak progressed.

Although the COVID-19 outbreak has affected all segments of the population, it has been particularly devastating for the poor and the most vulnerable. In low-income countries, up to 45 percent of workers were affected. In high-income countries, only ten percent of businesses and jobs were affected. In addition to this, many lower and middle-income countries are highly dependent on tourism and commodities, which are at the heart of the epidemic.

One of the most striking findings from the COVID-19 pandemic is that the stress caused by the virus has increased the number of people coping with mental health challenges. The epidemic has also triggered an increase in the number of conversations about mental health. Many people who had never previously dealt with such issues became actively involved in these conversations. As a result, more people are now talking about mental health and seeking help.
