In March 2020, the World Health Organization announced a pandemic in the world through the coronavirus COVID-19. According to WHO, a pandemic is the spread of a disease on a global scale. This term is applied to an infectious disease that threatens many people around the world at the same time and, as a rule, is characterized by the lack of herd immunity in humanity and effective means of prevention (vaccines) and treatment.
The number of deaths from COVID-19 quickly exceeded the number of deaths during the swine flu pandemic in 2009-2010. The WHO recorded an exponential acceleration in the spread of coronavirus: the first 100,000 people fell ill in 67 days, the second in 11 days, the third in 4 days, the fourth in 3 days, and the fifth 100,000 in just 2 days. On some days in Italy, a record 743 deaths were recorded per day, in Spain, 738 people died on one day.
As of September 1, there were 25.3 million COVID-19 infections in the world. The total number of deaths from infection was 848 thousand. Recovered 16.7 million.
According to scientists forecasts, with a favorable scenario, the death toll will reach 15 million people, with the worst - more than 68 million.
In addition to the threat to humanity from the coronavirus pandemic, the world is facing an economic crisis, which the IMF has named the biggest since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
In Ukraine, the virus has already caused nearly unprecedented economic and social damage since early March, when it was reported to exist. All over the country, educational institutions, central and municipal authorities, communal and private enterprises, etc. were closed. The quarantined business has effectively left more than a million workers without income. Local governments were actually left alone during the quarantine period without the support of the central authorities.
The world is now on the verge of a second wave of the pandemic. According to forecasts, this wave will be even more dangerous and destructive, both for humanity and for the economy. The above data indicate the ineffectiveness of the way to overcome the pandemic through the COVID-19 coronavirus by introducing strict quarantine conditions and indicate the need to find a more effective mechanism and develop an integrated solution that will control the spread of COVID-19, save lives and minimize the negative impact on the country's economy.
