Answer 1

Answer:

Pakistan is amongst the 180+ countries dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. There are now clear warnings of a global economic recession as workers continue to fall sick, factories remain shut, and healthcare systems become overwhelmed. Mitigating the health emergency and extent of economic loss will not be easy for Pakistan. The country of over 200 million is already going through a macroeconomic stabilisation, and ranks below world average on most human development indicators.

The spread of disease within and into Pakistan cannot be separated from the global context. The world’s urban population at 4.2 billion has now exceeded the global rural population, and almost 40% of Pakistanis live in cities. Meanwhile in the country, close to seven million use air transport.

COVID-19 has already surpassed the death toll of the more recent outbreaks of Ebola, MERS and SARS. While fatalities in Pakistan have as of 6 April hit 50, it has more than a 3250 confirmed, and many more can be unreported. Government estimates suggest by the beginning of June cases in Pakistan could rise to 58,000, while mortalities could lie anywhere between 5 to 10% of this number. In all eventuality, Pakistan’s healthcare system is likely to be overwhelmed.
