Answer preview
Travelling worldwide has impacted the spread of disease-causing organisms and societies’ economic stability. For example, the SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) that had previously emerged in 2003 appeared to use this factor to spread to different countries (Dawson et al., 2019). Consequently, to control the further spread of MERS-CoV, countries to ban international flights, this frustrates the aviation sector whose effect on the global economy will be highly noticed.
Fragile Healthcare System
Fragile health systems around the world aid a lot in transmissions of epidemics such as MERS-CoV. These weak healthcare systems are observed in most developing countries. This is a cause for alarm in developing nations with a fragile health system, especially if they have; limited hospitals and medical tools, deficient health care providers and are in short supply of other facilities. Therefore, the gaps in our healthcare systems should be filled to be ready for similar future occurrences (Paden et al., 2018).
