ABSTRACT
In the realm of infectious diseases, a pandemic is the worst-case scenario. When an epidemic is spread beyond a country's borders, then it is officially called pandemic. Humankind has always seen communicable diseases, but shift to aggregarion life made epidemic and later pandemic more possible. Malaria, tuberculosis, leprosy, influenzae [1, 2], and smallpox were some of them. The more civilized humans became, the more likely the pandemics became - like the first cholera pandemic in 1817 originated in Russia. In recent history, the world's one of the deadliest pandemics in 1918 was Spanish flu which struck 50 million deaths in Europe, USA, and parts of Asia. In 1981 AIDS, and then the world witnessed SARS- CoV-1 in 2003 in China, a form of coronavirus, a name which helps us recognize this new one of the most contagious pandemics the world has ever witnessed, called SARS-CoV-2 or popularly called COVID-19 or, as some say, Wuhan virus. SARS-CoV-2 was reported by China in late December 2019 with pneumonia-like symptoms of unknown origin. Without a vaccine available, it spread beyond borders, to more than 163 countries. COVID-19 has revealed vulnerabilities in the global communities' response to outbreaks of viruses, which has damaged the world's economy to the worst recession since the Great Depression. Shift of power and bringing the world to a standstill is something which none has ever imagined. Deaths, broken families, helplessness, fear and anxiety, uncertainty, and many more emotions were heaped on mankind. Economies suffered but the planet breathed, humans stopped but wildlife played. Life under COVID-19 brought blue skies and clean air, and many suffered but then many held them. Humans sought to learn and strive, sufferings created fighters, roadblocks paved new paths, and this horrendous experience changed the outlook and paved the perspective for a new world after COVID-19. © 2021 River Publishers.
