Why is it important?
There has continued to be a strong bias among research communities to explore clinical outcomes of COVID-19 without corresponding interest to understand its social, economic and psychological implications. A per-occupation with medical aspects of the pandemic without understanding its social footprint carry the potential of sacrificing human livelihoods and well-being on the alter of preventing and developing cures and/or vaccines.
Perspectives
I believe this article presents an opportunity for programmers and policy makers to validate their interventions in the context or real life circumstances associated with the ongoing pandemic. I hope that this article will cause programmers and policy makers to humanize COVID-19 interventions.
