On December 2019 Wuhan Municipal Health Commission, China, reported a cluster of cases of pneumonia in Wuhan, Hubei Province. A novel coronavirus was eventually identified and the world has dramatically shifted. On 11 March 2020, the WHO deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the frightening levels of inaction, made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic.
Almost 14 months later, COVID-19 is everywhere, literally, and during 2020 its spread and resulting impact has led to a global crisis of unparalleled reach and proportion.
The number of people suffering from infection, death of loved ones, unprecedented level unemployment, record-critical economic impact, health and wellbeing is overwhelming.
In addition, our social interactions, communication, daily habits and digital information connections are all transformed. The coronavirus pandemic struck just as Greece was about to overcome its decade-long dramatic debt crisis. However, the country successfully handled the pandemic, and some Greeks are proudly cheering their country as a rare success.
Nevertheless, the current satisfaction with the government could easily disappear, depending on how the country manages the financial impact of the pandemic.
