The big question is: Once the pandemic is over, will the world dynamics completely change?

The COVID-19 hasn’t only affected our health but the pandemic has overall impacted our economies too. Even technologically advanced developed countries are suffering widely. Dwindling resources, front-liners risking their lives, and mental health in shreds, it’s high time we realize we need pertinent solutions to shape our future. What changes do we believe are in order if things are likely to subside?

The shift of world power in the new world order

Research suggests once the pandemic is in control there will be a huge shift of world power. The shift will give precedence to Asian countries’ majorly China. The recovery rate on this side of the country is higher than in Europe and North America. Also, there will be a major shift in energy and power generation. More steps towards quality than lower operating costs will be the new strategy in power industries and factories. Moreover, consumer behavior pertaining to technological advancements and more dependence on online transactions will heed precedence in the future. The aim is to put health first thus, staying safe is the devised strategy. Work from home will get more importance and further organizational steps will make it a viable choice. 

Business Dynamics will Change

Furthermore, business dynamics will change. More importance will be given to video conferencing and also steps to facilitate high-speed internet will be taken. The fact is, lockdown amid the rampant virus has led a shift in how organizations operate. The key determinant here is to utilize this in the future and develop tools to enable business survivability. E-services will ensue the dawn of a new era. Taking the United Arab Emirates example; they are using this experience to strengthen their e-services. Their future plans include introducing electronic mediums for passport services, ministries, and other similar institutions.

Global Health Care System

A reality check pertaining to the pandemic is that the global health care system wasn’t prepared for the pandemic. None of the necessary studies or trials were carried out. Although instances of COVID-19 have happened before including SARS and MERS-COV. Besides pertinent studies, other shortcomings included rapidly dwindling resources and a lack of precautionary measures and implementation. However, this will be worked upon in the future with more prevalent solutions to facilitate startups to come up with creative solutions.  There will be a huge social change in order.

One thing COVID-19 has taught us that everyone has stepped up and supported the impoverished and needy. This indicates empathy and humanity in times of crisis restoring faith in every one of us!

Foremost, a reduction in human activities has led to a decline in carbon emissions. This is a major feat indeed; the impacts of climate change are another impending doom waiting to lead the world in another irrecoverable crisis. In light of the recent pandemic COVID-19. One thing is clear that 80% of global warming is a result of human activities.

Origin of Coronavirus:

“A 55-year-old individual from Hubei province in China may have been the first person to have contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus spreading across the globe. That case dates back to Nov. 17, 2019, according to the South Morning China Post.”

According to Live Science.

Cases in Wuhan were reported month after this case. As there are many rumors on social media that the virus is transmitted to humans through the bat soup in Wuhan due to video that went viral showing a young woman tucking into bat meat soup in a restaurant at Wuhan. Later it was known that video is not of Wuhan Restaurant where the soup was served. Now it is clear that some infected people had no connection to the market.  Scientists now suspect that coronavirus is originated in a bat and somehow transferred to another animal, possibly the pangolin, which then passed it on to humans.

How it can be transmitted?

• Coronavirus can be transmitted through sneeze or cough droplets, when you come into close contact with someone who has the Virus and is coughing or sneezing.

• By touching surfaces that someone who has the virus has coughed or sneezed on as this is heavy virus by mass and so rely more on any surface than in air.

The virus can only survive a few hours if someone who has it coughs or sneezes on a surface. So practicing good hygiene can prevent it.

What are the symptoms of Coronavirus?

People may experience following symptoms:

• Runny nose
• Sore throat
• Cough
• Fever
• Difficulty breathing (severe cases)

Some people who were the victims of COVID-19 have also experienced problems affecting digestion or eye complaints (conjunctivitis).
