The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly affected the world health, economic, cultural, social and psychological had a great influence on the meanings.

Have you ever thought? If there had been no pandemic called COVID-19, What would be different? Let’s listen to the ideas of artificial intelligence on this topic!

It starts with economic consequences.

If there was no pandemic, there would be no problem of empty office buildings in major cities. Empty office space in business centres such as Canary Wharf in London up to 15% rose. Without the pandemic, demand in such business centers would remain high and rents would tend to rise.

Many small businesses had to close during the pandemic. If the pandemic wasn’t there; Especially small cafes and restaurants don’t close their doors local economies He could have stayed stronger. For example, Caffè dell’Oro, a historic Florentine café closed due to the pandemic, could continue to operate with the support of tourism and locals.

During the pandemic, interest in cryptocurrencies increased due to economic uncertainties and government stimulus measures. If there were no pandemic, Bitcoin and Ethereum would cryptocurrencies Perhaps it would not have seen such huge price increases in such a short time and attracted the attention of institutional investors.

Let’s talk about the social and psychological effects.

During the pandemic, many couples decided to have children due to the long time in quarantine. In the US in 2021 “Pandemic baby boom” happened. Without the pandemic, this baby boom would not have occurred and demographic changes would have followed a different course.

People living alone during the pandemic experienced severe loneliness and depression, especially in big cities. In Tokyo, for example, the government is trying to alleviate the loneliness crisis. “Minister of Loneliness” appointed. Without the pandemic, the need for such an appointment might never have come to the fore.

During the pandemic, people increased the adoption rate of pets to cope with loneliness. If there were no pandemic, the number of pets in shelters would be higher and the number of pets created for pet care would be higher. “Pet influencer” phenomenon would not have become so popular.

They also have something to say about technology.

The pandemic has led to the rapid popularization of virtual reality technologies and the metaverse universe. Online meetings and eventscreated in virtual reality environments. Without the pandemic, the metaverse concept would not have been adopted so quickly, and Meta (formerly Facebook) would not have invested so heavily in this area.

Increased internet usage for remote work and education during the pandemic has accelerated investments in 5G and fiber internet in many countries. Without the pandemic, these investments might have is going slower and the Internet infrastructure in rural areas would not have improved as quickly.

As online activity for many businesses and individuals increased during the pandemic, so did cyberattacks. For example, cyberattacks on the healthcare sector in 2020 increased by 45%. Without the pandemic, cybersecurity might not have become such a critical priority, and many companies would not be making such large investments in protecting remote workers.

Of course, the education field cannot be ignored.

If there were no pandemic, there would be no radical changes in education, many students would study online only. of creative educational experiences He could have been robbed. Virtual classroom tours, which became popular during the pandemic, took students on a virtual tour of the Louvre, for example, allowing them to view famous works in an interactive way. Normally, such experiences would only be possible in large schools or extracurricular activities.

In addition, remote laboratory studies and based on virtual reality Biology courses allowed students to examine a DNA molecule or a cell in a 3D environment. Such technological breakthroughs would happen much more slowly in a world without a pandemic, and most students would not be able to take advantage of the unique educational opportunities that technology provides.

We left the most important thing for last: health…

If there were no pandemic, about 7 million direct deaths and disruptions to health care access Thousands of indirect deaths would not have occurred as a result

Conditions requiring urgent intervention, such as cancer and heart disease can be treated more effectively, People with chronic diseases can live healthier lives with regular check-ups.

Moreover tuberculosis, HIV and malaria The increased number of deaths due to failures in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases such as communicable diseases could have been prevented, routine childhood vaccination programs would not have been disrupted, and epidemics caused by preventable diseases such as measles could have been prevented.

Chronic health conditions like long COVID do not develop, mental health problems and suicide cases would not increase, so that global health care systems would be less stressed and people would live healthier and safer lives.
