The coronavirus outbreak and crisis has a wide range and multiplicity of repercussions, not just medical, but also social (loss of loved ones, mourning, bereavement, isolation), economic (activity restrictions, sales down-turn, company close-downs, loss of productivity combined with sickabsence payments), and political (postponing elections). In a nutshell the coronavirus has a considerable (albeit not tragically high especially when compared with other epidemics and pandemics in human history) cost. It seems (or at worst is) highly contagious, it will most probably put health provision in great stress, as numbers of diseased and deaths will rise, negatively affecting therapy of others too. It will also increase the need for isolation wards, and last but not least will put pressure to personnel alongside personnel’s absence due to infection itself too.
