The COVID-19 pandemic has had a lot of implications on policy decisions and the political spheres in many countries and regions 

Politics, Policy and the COVID-19 pandemic

How the pandemic has affected global, national and local economies

Economic impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

There are worldwide curfews, quarantines, and similar restrictions (variously described as stay-at-home orders, shelter-in-place orders, shutdowns or lockdowns) related to the COVID-19 pandemic and established to prevent further spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID-19

COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns

Health authorities in China contacted the World Health Organization (WHO) that there was a cluster of viral pneumonia cases of unknown cause in Wuhan, Hubei. By January 30th, the WHO declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). At the time there were 7,818 cases confirmed globally, affecting 19 countries in five WHO regions.

Numerous organizations such as Johns Hopkins University, IBM, and Tableau have released interactive databases to track real-time Covid-19 statistics. Data Scientists all around are working closely with medical professionals and utilizing this data in order to help combat the virus.

Using Data Science to understand COVID-19

Altered human activity as a result of COVID-19 produced various effects on the environment, both positive and negative. These effects often correlated with lockdown periods and included variations in types of manmade pollutants. While some research indicates these effects are due to natural fluctuations and cannot be attributed to the pandemic, understanding how human activity may or may not impact the environment is important for predicting future environmental health. 

COVID-19 Environmental Effects

The COVID-19 pandemic greatly affected how students were educated. Notable classes moved to an online format and schools adopted many policies to compensate (e.g., grading, testing, etc.)

How health information technology is being used to fight COVID-19

Health Information Technology and COVID-19

The media portrayal of older adults as “frail” and “difficult” and the younger population to be immune to the virus to a large degree perpetuated ageism. The intergenerational division was also furthered by the need for younger adults to avoid or isolate when in proximity to older people to avoid spreading the virus to the more vulnerable. Essentially, this placed the burden to protect the geriatric members of society on the younger population and caused a change in generational dynamics.

COVID-19 and Ageism

During the COVID-19 pandemic, scarce medical resources force healthcare systems under crisis standards to make difficult decisions regarding triage, allocation, and reallocation. These decisions must be guided by ethical principles and should not be made by individual bedside clinicians. Additionally, healthcare workers must maintain transparency, clear communication, and a dedication to providing the highest quality of care to patients, including palliative care.

Healthcare Systems During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2). The outbreak was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The World Health Organization declared the pandemic on March 11th

University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

COVID-19 refers to the newly discovered infectious disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus. This new virus and disease were first discovered during the outbreak in Wuhan, China, that reportedly began in December 2019. Before this discovery of the new virus, the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission announced that patients were sick with 'viral pneumonia' from an unknown cause.

SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)

Pandemic refers to a new infectious disease that spread worldwide. A pandemic is not the same as an epidemic as the disease spreads beyond a select community or region. The World Health Organization (WHO) is responsible for declaring when a global pandemic is occurring by monitoring outbreaks of disease and receiving advice from international health experts.

COVID-19 Graphical Summary

An unprecedented amount of knowledge has been generated in the past two months in the form of journal papers, blog posts, and other forms.
Journal reviewers have significantly expedited the review process, e.g., the New England Journal of Medicine posted a COVID-19 paper within 48 hours of submission. Many researchers disseminate their papers in the form of preprints or posts on the new Wu-han Clan Slack channel before journal publication.

- Time-consuming to self-judge many rapidly released papers
- Difficult to efficiently inform the research community about inappropriate results/findings
- Repetition and contradiction
- Cognitive overload and determining the novelty of a new study
- Published papers are static and don't get updated dynamically
- Difficult for multidisciplinary research collaboration 
- The increased role of preprint servers in COVID-19 research
- Marketing and subscription fees of journals
- Personal ambitions and carrier incentives
- Even the papers published journals are not completely flawless when the time is the essence.
- Difficulty informing the public
