The scope of pandemics often reaches beyond illness and disease, impacting the world economically, socially, and politically. Due to the global nature of pandemics, countries may have varying responses to the same pandemic depending on their preparedness and the resources available to them. en-us 2021-10-22 07:10:09 UTC 2025-12-16 14:45:47 UTC hello@padlet.com snlong https://padlet.com/snlong/m364p2cpok37eu3m/wish/1835673452 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. ]]> 2021-10-22 07:13:26 UTC https://padlet.com/snlong/m364p2cpok37eu3m/wish/1835673452 snlong https://padlet.com/snlong/m364p2cpok37eu3m/wish/1835674084 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. ]]> 2021-10-22 07:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/snlong/m364p2cpok37eu3m/wish/1835674084 snlong https://padlet.com/snlong/m364p2cpok37eu3m/wish/1835674607 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.]]> 2021-10-22 07:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/snlong/m364p2cpok37eu3m/wish/1835674607 snlong https://padlet.com/snlong/m364p2cpok37eu3m/wish/1835686379 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. ]]> 2021-10-22 07:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/snlong/m364p2cpok37eu3m/wish/1835686379 snlong https://padlet.com/snlong/m364p2cpok37eu3m/wish/1837658918 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.]]> 2021-10-23 06:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/snlong/m364p2cpok37eu3m/wish/1837658918 snlong https://padlet.com/snlong/m364p2cpok37eu3m/wish/1837660590 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.
