Factors Shaping People’s Memories of the Covid-19 Global Pandemic

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused immense damage to the world, including its impact on the global economy and public health. The pandemic has also exposed the weaknesses in the healthcare and economic systems. While many factors have influenced the global COVID-19 pandemic, there is a lack of research on the key shapers of COVID-19 and their importance. This article explores this issue through the perspectives of media, narratives of COVID-19-infected individuals, and visual images. The impact of COVID-19 on the global pandemic is analyzed from the viewpoint of self-reports and visual images of COVID-19-infected individuals. The paper suggests ways to improve preparedness for future global health crises by analyzing these issues and ensuring that we can learn from the pandemic’s memory.
