This book presents a comprehensive account of the COVID-19
pandemic, also known as the novel coronavirus pandemic, as it
happened. This volume examines the first responses to the COVID-19
pandemic, the contexts of earlier epidemics and the epidemiological
basics of infectious diseases. Further, it discusses patterns in
the spread of the disease; the management and containment of
infections at the personal, national, and global level; effects on
trade and commerce; the social and psychological impact on people;
the disruption and postponement of international events; the role
of various international organizations like the WHO in the search
for solutions; and the race for a vaccine or a cure. Based on new
data and latest developments, the second edition of this volume
explores the global spread of COVID-19 since 2019 and examines the
emergence of the evolving coronavirus variants (Alpha, Beta, Gamma,
Delta and Omicron). Further, it extensively discusses what we have
since discovered on the disease, along with recent progress on
treatments and vaccines. Authored by a medical professional and an
economist working on the frontlines, this book gives a nuanced,
verified and fact-checked analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic and its
global response. A one-stop resource on the COVID-19 outbreak, it
is indispensable for every reader and a holistic work for scholars
and researchers of medical sociology, public health, political
economy, public policy and governance, sociology of health and
medicine, and paramedical and medical practitioners. It will also
be a great resource for policymakers, government departments and
civil society organizations working in the area.
