The epidemic has already had serious health consequences and is expected to have
long-term consequences. COVID-19 has had substantial social and political consequences in
addition to economic ramifications in a variety of industries. According to the IMF, the world
economy would contract by 4.4 percent in 2020. The decrease, according to the organization, is
the greatest since the Great Depression of the 1930s. It also demonstrates several of COVID-
19's political consequences, such as how it has intensified current political tensions inside and
between nations, increased pre-existing international challenges connected to people mobility,
and influenced levels of trust and political engagement.
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the number of people out of work
in the United States reached an all-time high of 8.9% last year, bringing a decade of
employment growth to a stop. Millions of people have also been placed on government-
sponsored employment retention programs as certain sectors of the economy, such as tourism
and hospitality, have come to a halt. In many nations, the quantity of new employment
openings remains low. The agriculture industry has also encountered significant difficulties.
Agricultural commodities prices declined dramatically in the early stages of the epidemic, owing
in part to decreasing demand from hotels and restaurants. Many meat-processing industries
have been the epicenters of COVID-19 outbreaks, resulting in shutdowns and meat shortages in
the food supply chain. The restaurant and food service industries have suffered substantial
financial challenges, and many firms have had to close their doors. In certain occasions, the
government has intervened to compel temporary closures or impose regulations that
necessitate considerable changes to a typical restaurant business model.
In this moment, war is a crime since it will affect not only the countries involved, but
also the people who will suffer, and countless lives will be sacrificed in the name of history.
Shooting firearms and causing mayhem will not aid in the recovery from the pandemic; instead,
be sensible and have empathy for politicians to do what is reasonable and good for the people.
