An excellent example of a country that responded quicker and more effectively than other countries to the COVID pandemic is Taiwan, who were able to contain their outbreaks. This photo illustrates how different countries have different responses and are affected differently by the same pandemic.

With the pandemic, life as we knew it changed rapidly, and new norms were established, such as getting regular COVID tests and wearing PPE and masking.

Pandemics are global disease outbreaks that often have wider effects on the world economically, socially, and politically. The global nature of pandemics also demands global response, in which countries must collaborate in order to mitigate the effects of COVID. While global response is necessary, countries may have different plans of action for pandemic response in order to mitigate their own spread and manage population health.

This image illustrates how long-lasting a pandemic can be, as well as some of the accompanying issues that a pandemic can have aside from disease such as shutdowns, mental health concerns, and social changes.

This picture illustrates that while pandemics often affect people globally, the effects of a pandemic vary between populations, in which some populations may be more vulnerable than others.

Because of the global scale of pandemics and the severity and speed of their spread, pandemics require social changes from populations on a large scale. To mitigate spread, people must collectively alter their behaviour, which can be a challenging task for global health advocates to advocate for.
