Special Issue on Pandemics and Social Science

A pandemic is a global disease outbreak that has spread across a large region, for instance multiple continents or worldwide, affecting a substantial number of people. It is often caused by a new virus or a strain of virus that has not circulated among people for a long time. The pandemics often create social disruption, economic loss, and general hardship.
