Four effects of this virus on the society include;

Step-by-step explanation:

This virus that caused a pandemic in 2019/2020 and still persists till 2021, mostly affects the respiratory tract. It is airborne and can be contacted through the inhalation of the air coming off from an infected person, hence, people are instructed to always wear a nose mask. Touching areas or spots that have the droplets of an infected can also expose a person to the virus.

When contracted, it causes difficulty in breathing, thus making some people dependent on oxygen. Fever, tiredness and cough are also common symptoms.

In the society, problems caused by the virus;

1. Shortage in the quantity of food: Many countries are today suffering from a lack of food because of the crippling effects caused by the lockdown that is associated with the virus. It is even worse for countries that rely on the importation of food.

2. Rise in the cost of commodities: Transportation of goods from one place to another became difficult with the coming of the virus. This also had a telling effect on the cost of goods.

3. Loss of jobs: Many lost their jobs due to the downsizing of businesses.

4. A slowed education time table: Since social distancing and lockdown were advised, schools had to shut down and this slowed the academic time table.
