FIIB Business Review, 2020, vol. 9, issue 3, 161-166

Abstract: The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 or the coronavirus flu pandemic in the world threatens to derail the very existence of humankind. The planet could only ignore the challenges posed by this flu strain to its peril. This analysis seeks to locate the pandemic, its challenges and probable solutions within a socio-economic, political and medical sciences perspective. The various dimensions of the viral disease ranging from its impact on human societies, body politic, health and economic realms have been discussed and analysed. This perspective could be seen in the context of the ongoing debates on the nature and consequences of the crisis, as also the evolving dynamics of the same. The article examines the current situation and also factors in any future changes. A number of solutions have been offered for an effective tackling of this deadly disease, keeping in mind the global developments. All in all, the crisis must serve as an important experience for the entire civilization and imparts lessons in health, social, political and economic spheres.
