Answer 1

Covid-19 and its effects

On march 11,2020 the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a pandemic. From then to till, Covid-19 wrecking havoc in the world. People were commonly affected with previous strains of Human Coronavirus (229E, OC43, HKU1, NL63) causes seasonal illness and mild respiratory flu. But new strain started from Wuhan, China in November 2019, probably jumped from animal species to Human is more dangerous than previous. Because this causes severe respiratory complications.

This is a situation that no country predicted and ready for. After announcement of Pandemic the world stand stills. Enforcement of lockdown in many country witnessed economic wreckage. Economies down as we didn't see before. Till now many nations didn't resume economic activities. Tussle between nations also emerged as a negative outcome. Governments are looking helpless and individual choices is being pressed down. Public health issues didn't based on individual choices but it looks on the health of millions. Government lockdown, stops economic activities,stops other activities like entertainment, education, hotels for public health to stop the outbreak. But as this crisis deeper, government understand that it is not a issue of six to twelve months and Corona viruses will remain active for life long. Lockdown is not a solution for this because it will remain with human in coming life.

So governments, agencies and private institutions can work on and concentrate only at one point that we need a vaccine or medication which can eliminate or lower down this Pandemic. But vaccine manufacturing is a very tough play. Like AIDS and Dengue fever some people distrust on vaccine making. WHO also raising concerns about vaccine of Coronavirus that it is difficult that have Coronavirus vaccine like AIDS And Dengue Fever virus. Pharmaceutical institutions are trying hard to get success in Vaccine manufacturing. This is most important part that we have to get Coronavirus vaccine because the fear of Covid-19 is increasing day by day. People have to got out for work and other activities, it is necessity also for our family and for our living. Governments,States and are helping people and communities in public health point of view as well as food and money point of view. But the all these services looking meagre because of expansion of disease is at very high. Also that is highly dangerous for older adults and older people because mortality in these groups is high among other groups. It is hard for people because government restrictions and lockdown not only restricted their entertainment but also their jobs. Which are also a part of public health and welfare. Mental health also affected from these restrictions which more severe in case of children and youths.
