Write a paragraph in your own words​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the space of six months, the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the world. Beginning with what seemed like a routine public health challenge in a single location, it quickly became a global health emergency, then a social and an economic catastrophe. While the full consequences of this momentous event may not become apparent for many years, it is inevitable that its effects will extend over generations to come.

The unfolding crisis has imposed a need on many people to make decisions with deep, sometimes unprecedented, ethical content. Those at the front line of clinical care have had to decide about their duties to their patients, their families, and to the broader community, sometimes with life or death consequences. However, the ethical perplexities have not been limited to those involved in clinical decision-making. Indeed, there are probably few people in the world who have been left untouched by questions of personal and social meaning and value that have been powerfully activated by the advent of SARS-CoV2.
