Impact
During an epidemic such as the CoronaVirus, the economic impact on the country is congestion of hospitals, shortage of drugs or equipment, exhaustion of health personnel and stress of the general population.
In the short term, an epidemic causes a drop in consumer spending and investment, but also a disruption in the supply and production of manufactured goods and the food sector.
An epidemic can also cause compulsive fear shopping, mental health effects and disruption of social relationships.
