Why are Pandemics more Common Now?

     Why do Pandemics keep happening

There was a time when people did not care about any disease. They were not afraid to go out or catch any disease. Then came COVID-19.



Covid-19 caused havoc around the whole world. People were trapped inside their homes. Across the world, businesses suffered losses. During the second wave in India, its health system almost collapsed. 
If we reflect back, we will realize that pandemics and epidemics are more common now than they used to be. But, why is that so?

1. Increased Travel
Humans travel a lot frequently these days. There are many modes of travel such as Airports and railway stations today. So, if a person infected with a mutant disease travels through any of these, he/she will quickly spread it to other passengers who will bring that disease to their countries. Thus, starting a pandemic.

2. Increased human-animal contact
Most of the pandemic diseases are zoonotic. That is, they spread through animals. Due to an increase in deforestation, animals are forced to move into human surroundings. Which results in animal-human contact. This spreads the disease to humans.

3. Poor Health Infrastructure
Many developing countries in Africa do not have basic health facilities and sanitation due to this, they are unable to cope up with pandemics. An example is the Ebola Pandemic (2014-16). Which thankfully, was contained before it spread further.

4. Recklessness by people
Nowadays, many people do not follow basic hygiene which results in the spread of diseases. To be honest, when was the last time you ate your food without washing your hands? True, some people are conscious about their health, but many are there who do not care about any diseases and become reckless. 


Once, I had to go out. The lockdown had been lifted by then. I was shocked to see many people not wearing any masks and were talking to people nearby. Such actions of people result in an increase in Covid-19 cases.


So what should we do to prevent further pandemics?
To prevent further pandemics, we must follow basic health precautions. We should wash our hands before eating. We should also strengthen our immunity to help fight diseases. We should also stop deforestation to stop animal-human contact.

That's all for today. I hope you liked this blog post. So do share it. Also, don't forget to subscribe to my blog.
