Abstract
As of the beginning of 2023, 6.7 million people had perished from COVID-19, according to the World Health Organization. However, there have also been some positive developments, such as the notable decline in influenza-related deaths in the first year of the pandemic as a result of masking and social isolation, as well as the quick adoption of vaccines utilizing cutting-edge technologies like mRNA vaccines, which hold out great promise for combating other infectious diseases. The necessity of interdisciplinary approaches for tackling complicated problems is one lesson to be learned from the pandemic. With only virology, we are unable to contain a viral epidemic. To understand the relationships between human behavior, disease transmission, government interventions, global transport and trade, and the production and distribution of vaccines and treatments, among others, we need epidemiologists, engineers, sociologists, political scientists, historians, medical doctors, economists, statisticians, anthropologists, mathematicians, and geographers. The global COVID-19 pandemic has caused a shift in the priority of medical and surgical operations. Numerous healthcare systems have ceased doing their regular screenings as a result of it. The reference rate was significantly lower—especially among the elderly—after medical clinics were converted to COVID-19 referral facilities, lockdowns were implemented, and the public was afraid to refer patients to medical centers. The development of medicine both during and after the Corona is highlighted in this review essay.
