(COVID-19):is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.

Most people infected


with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without
requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop
serious illness.

At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there are many
ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments.

10 ethical concern due to COVID-19


responsibility to protect: All individual have the task of not exposing others or even there self in
unnecessary way. The responsibility is equal for people of all job description. we should avoid panic
triviliazation.

Speed, Slowdown and Self-management: For action, every day counts in this explosion of the spread of
the virus as the curve shows. so we should slow down our professional and personal activities or put
them on hold until the problem blows over.Home-office and daylong studies at home can much better
be managed with a disciplined structure to the day.

Transparency is Compulsory: Facts are key. Hiding or exaggerating facts for personal, political or
economic reasons is crime and very unethical not good for the long run if you have political ambition
etc... fake news can lead to panic or trivialization and can cost lives.

Faith Matters: What does this pandemic mean for faith in God or for trust in karma as a way of
existence? The So-called trust in God while disrespecting medical advice and caring is unethical and
irresponsible. Medical staff and researchers who develop a vaccine are gifts of the Almighty.

No Place for Conspiracy: uncertainty, lack of information and/or political interests often lead to all kinds
of conspiracy theories, and this is the case also during this pandemic. we should forbear from sharing
this false conspiracy theory to people around as or on social media too.

Encouraging Innovative Solidarity: It is impressive how much solidarity is visible during this pandemic.
The trade war is suddenly replaced by the need to help each other.

Economic Victims: The number of people who will die as a result of the economic turbulences caused
among others by the epidemic may be much higher than the deaths caused directly by the virus .

Globalization Revisited: The pandemic makes the positive and negative side of globalization a daily
experience of billions of people. The pandemic will have a profound impact on future supply chains and
will modify the way of globalization. On the other hand, the cyber world and internet connectivity offers
fast adaptation to the new restrictions
.
Ethical Leadership: the pandemic shows the crucial importance of leaders who have integrity; honestly
serving the people with the power entrusted to them and not primarily serving own political or
economic interests.

Lessons for other threats: this pandemic shows that humanity is able to stand together and to act with
speed and determination, characteristics that are often missing when facing other global threats, like
climate change and poverty.
