It is impossible to reflect on 2020 without discussing Covid-19.
The term, literally meaning corona-(CO) virus (VI) disease (D) of
2019, has become synonymous with "the virus", "corona" and "the
pandemic". The impact of the virus on our lives is unprecedented in
modern human history, in terms of scale, depth and resilience. When
compared to other epidemics that have plagued the world in recent
decades, Covid-19 is often referred to as being much more "deadly"
and is associated with advances in technology which scientists have
described as "revolutionary". From politics to economics, spanning
families and continents, Covid-19 has unsettled norms: cultural
clashes are intensified, politics are even more polarized, and
regional tensions and conflicts are on the rise. Global trade
patterns and supply chains are increasingly being questioned and
redrawn. The world is being atomized, and individuals are forced to
accept the "new normal" in their routines. In an attempt to combat
the virus and minimize its detrimental effects, countries have
undertaken different preventive strategies and containment
policies. Some have successfully curbed the spread of Covid-19,
while many others remain in limbo, doing their best to respond to
outbreaks in cases. To gain a better understanding of how to fight
Covid-19, it is imperative to evaluate the success and failures of
these approaches. Under what conditions is an approach successful?
When should it be avoided? How can this information be used to
avoid future pandemics? This volume offers informative comparative
case studies that shed light on these key questions. Each country
case is perceptively analyzed and includes a detailed timeline,
allowing readers to view each response with hindsight and
extrapolate the data to better understand what the future holds.
Taken as a whole, this collection offers invaluable insight at this
critical juncture in the Covid-19 pandemic.
