What We Can Learn in a Pandemic
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2020, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
This Novel Coronavirus/SARS CoV2 pandemic has been eye opening in many ways. We’ve seen some countries and jurisdictions use public health, science and the application of principles of bioethics and exert control in ways that limit the human carnage that is all too evident in others. For example, the data coming from South Korea indicate that in a population of 51.61million 26,807 people have been infected and 472 died.
