This COVID-19 pandemic continues to make a large impact on everyone throughout the world. Some of the effects of this pandemic are that many people are losing their lives because they were infected by this disease, big hospitals are hitting their full capacity resulting to other people who also need immediate medical attention to not get the proper medical treatment that they need due to the hospital not being able to allocate enough of its staff to accommodate the ill, businesses are losing money quickly because there are no customers to buy their products and services, people are becoming unemployed because businesses are trying to preserve money, and there many more tragic effects of this unforgiving disease.

Having stated some of the problems that we are currently facing, here are a few things that I think would most likely happen sooner or later to try and prevent a large impact of a pandemic like this from ever happening again:

Companies will push to digitize their business

Companies will invest heavily in technology and how technology can improve and automate their business and also how technology can help their workforce to work remotely.

Demand for IT people will increase even more

In relation to the first item I mentioned, I think that the need for IT professionals will increase even more since every industry has now realized the importance of being able to work remotely as much as possible to continue business operations.

Heavy investment in health will be done

People and governments will surely invest heavily in health and medicine to try and prevent a pandemic like this from ever happening again.

Also, I think certain health guidelines and new laws will take place in order to prevent a pandemic like this from ever happening again.

Tech Giants will push health-related features to its products

Tech Giants like Apple, Google, Huawei, Xiaomi, and the others will push more health-related features into their products because they know that people are much more hungry for health and fitness information more than ever.

Nations will change their culture for the better

I also think that some nations if not all nations will change their culture based on what we are currently experiencing here during this pandemic. People will start to change their diet and I think people will also move away from exotic foods because of fear of catching another deadly disease from eating exotic animals.

Let me know if you agree with me or not, and let me know if you have any more information that you would like to add to this topic. If you liked this article be sure to follow me here on medium at Jan Almazora.
