Current Scenario of COVID-19 in the World
CASES RECOVERED DEATHS
106M 59.4M 2.32M
There are 106M Corona cases all over the world.Where 59.4M people are recovered and the no. of death is 2.32M.
FUTURE PREDICTIONS FOR COVID-19
1. More Contactless Interfaces and Interactions
It’s expected that we’ll have
fewer touch screens and more voice interfaces and machine vision
interfaces. Prior to the pandemic, we saw the rollout of contactless
payment options through mobile devices. Machine vision interfaces are already used today to apply
social media filters and to offer autonomous checkout at some stores.
Expect there to be an expansion of voice and machine vision interfaces
that recognise faces and gestures throughout several industries to limit
the amount of physical contact.
2. Strengthened Digital Infrastructure
COVID-19 caused people to adapt to working from home and in
isolation. By forcing our collective hand to find digital solutions to
keep meetings, lessons, workouts, and more going when sheltering in our
homes, it allowed many of us to see the possibilities for continuing
some of these practices in a post-COVID-19 world.
3. Better Monitoring Using IoT and Big Data
We see the power of data in a pandemic in real-time. The
lessons we are receiving from this experience will inform how we monitor
future pandemics by using internet of things technology and big data.
National or global apps could result in better early warning systems
because they could report and track who is showing symptoms of an
outbreak. GPS data could then be used to track where exposed people have
been and who they have interacted with to show contagion.
4. AI-Enabled Drug Development
The faster we can create and deploy an effective and safe drug
to treat and a vaccine to prevent COVID-19 and future viruses, the
faster it will be contained. Artificial intelligence
is an ideal partner in drug development because it can accelerate and
complement human endeavours. Our current reality will inform future
efforts to deploy AI in drug development.
5. Telemedicine
To kerb traffic at hospitals and other healthcare
practitioners offices, many are implementing or reminding their patients
that consultations can be done through video. Rather than rush to the
doctor or healthcare centre, remote care enables clinical services
without an in-person visit.
6. More Online Shopping
After COVID-19,
businesses that want to remain competitive will figure out ways to have
online services even if they maintain a brick-and-mortar location, and
there will be enhancements to the logistics and delivery systems to
accommodate surges in demand whether that's from shopper preference or a
future pandemic.
7. Increased Reliance on Robots
Robots aren't susceptible to viruses. Whether they are
used to deliver groceries or to take vitals in a healthcare system or to
keep a factory running, companies realise how robots could support us
today and play an important role in a post-COVID-19 world or during a
future pandemic.
8. More Digital Events
Organisers and participants of in-person events that were
forced to switch to digital realise there are pros and cons of both. This week’s debate about AI in education was
done as a virtual event and went very well and actually had more people
attend. We didn't experience a capacity issue as we do with an in-person
event, plus there were attendees logged on from all around the world.
While I don't predict that in-person events will be replaced entirely
after COVID-19, I do believe event organisers will figure out ways the
digital aspects can complement in-person events. I predict a steep rise
in hybrid events where parts of the event take place in person, and
others are delivered digitally.
9. Rise in E-sports
COVID-19 might be taxing our systems and patience, but
it’s also building our resilience and allowing us to develop new and
innovative solutions out of necessity. In a post-COVID-19 world, I
predict we will take the lessons handed to us by our time dealing with
the virus and make our world a better place.
DUTY OF GOVERNMENT DURING COVID-19
1. Immediate response : During times of crisis, governments around the world must act quickly and decisively, even in the face of limited information.
2. Recover and rebuild : They need to rebuild agencies’ confidence; enable citizens to get
back to work; help return the private sector to full output; and shorten
the length of the economic downturn.
3. Optimize for the new normal : They need to re-imagine their business processes and seek better ways to operate.

DUTY OF PUBLIC DURING COVID-19
1. Public should follow the rules and regulations given by government.
2. They must clean their hands often with sanitizers.
3. They should cough or sneeze in their bent elbow, not in hands.
4. Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth.
5. Limit social gathering and time spent in crowded places.
5. Avoid close contacts with someone who is sick.
6. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surface.
CONCLUSION
There are hundreds of coronaviruses, most of which circulate in
animals. Only seven of these viruses infect humans and four of them
cause symptoms of the common cold. But, three times in the last 20
years, a coronavirus has jumped from animals to humans to cause severe
disease.
The new coronavirus was
first detected in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Tens of thousands of
people were infected in China, with the virus spreading easily from
person-to-person in many parts of that country.
The novel
coronavirus infections were at first associated with travel from Wuhan,
but the virus has now established itself in 177 countries and
territories around the world in a rapidly expanding pandemic. Health
officials in the United States and around the world are working to
contain the spread of the virus through public health measures such as
social distancing, contact tracing, testing, quarantines and travel
restrictions. Scientists are working to find medications to treat the
disease and to develop a vaccine.
The World Health Organization
declared the novel coronavirus outbreak “a public health emergency of
international concern” on January 30. On March 11, 2020 after sustained
spread of the disease outside of China, the World Health Organization
declared the COVID-19 epidemic a pandemic. Public health measures like
ones implemented in China and now around the world, will hopefully blunt
the spread of the virus while treatments and a vaccine are developed to
stop it.
