The Human Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Review of International Research

This book is about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on human  society. The current global pandemic has thrown a diverse set of  entwined social, psychological, and economic disruptive impacts of human  suffering on societies, groups, and individuals due to the flow on  effects of not only the disease itself but massive dislocations of the  everyday routines of life driven by mandated restrictions imposed by  national governments. This intersecting set of experiences has evoked  considerable human distress particularly in the fields of employment,  education, healthcare work, and bereavement rituals. This text reviews,  from existing knowledge and the research emanating in the last two years  from around the world, the issues and problems faced by people and  their governments.
