Answers
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis has significantly redefined the humanitarian emergency paradigm and changed our understanding of disaster management in several ways.
First, the crisis is not limited by a geographic area or a cluster or physically defined areas in which the disaster occurred — as in an earthquake, flood or cyclone.
Second, effects of the disaster are so microscopic and invisible that one can easily underestimate its virulence or potency, as it happened in the early days of the pandemic. Earlier epidemics like SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) and those due to bird flu and Ebola had a relatively lower geographical influence, but the speed of transmission and virulence of COVID-19 has posed an entirely new challenge.
Third, to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19, we have severely restricted the process of globalisation, travel and access, which we welcomed with wide open arms two decades earlier.
On the other hand, while human society worldwide is under severe stress due to lockdowns, we are witnessing an altogether cleaner and more vibrant environment both in urban and rural habitats. Nonetheless, what began as a health crisis has now quickly snowballed into an economic crisis, caused, ironically, by some of the very steps that were taken by public authorities to prevent further spread! Little wonder then that several industrialised nations are still struggling to contain the levels of infection and fatality rates in their populations.
