Public health-655-Health and Burden of Disease-Topic 3 DQ 2 How have these outbreaks or pandemics directly and indirectly affected national and global economies?

Various outbreaks and pandemics, including the covid-19 pandemic, have had both a direct and indirect effect on national and global economies. For instance, the most recent pandemic, which is the Covid 19, led to a number of measures implemented by various governments across the world to try and control the spread of the virus. Such measures included social distancing and stay-at-home orders. Such measures had a direct and indirect effect on national and global economies (Ibn-Mohammed et al., 2021). The stay-at-home orders implemented by various national governments across the world eventually led to a reduction in economic activities and trade, which slowed down both national and global economies (Pak et al., 2020). National and global economies have been negatively impacted by the Covid19 Pandemic, with the general global economy being in a state of recession.

Explain how national and international health care systems have handled the outbreak. How have they differed in their methods?

National and international healthcare systems have handled the Covid- 19 outbreak differently. Most national healthcare systems are therefore concentrated on efforts to limit the spread of Covid-19 in communities. Most national healthcare systems have therefore adopted national strategies, including vaccination drives and wearing of masks to try and limit the spread of COVID-19. On the other hand, international healthcare systems have been focused on limiting the spread of covid-19 on a global scale. International health systems are focused on trying to ensure equality of resources such as vaccines in the fight against COVID19 (el Bcheraoui et al., 2020).
