As the coronavirus pandemic swept across the globe in recent months, many countries have had to implement strategies to fight the virus and keep its people safe. These strategies, particularly in the West, have not been as effective at keeping the numbers of infected people as low as the governments would have hoped. Charles R. Stith predicted the trajectory the virus would take as its spread progressed and developed a critical analysis of the western countries' responses to the pandemic. He specifically focuses on South Africa's response to the virus as it spearheads the surge of cases on the African continent.The crisis has far reaching consequences that impact the most vulnerable people in the country. A recent OXFAM report draws connections between the lockdown, hunger, and deaths, which confirms the statement Stith made at the beginning of the outbreak about how people would die of hunger as they lose their jobs, their ability to provide for their families, and access to fresh foods. Stith wrote this book in real time in response to the growth and spread of the coronavirus, and analyses the results of South Africa's response to it. He gives answers to the questions politicians should have been asking, and gives his view of what Africa will require to recover. 650 0 $a Social change $z South Africa. 650 0 $a COVID-19 (Disease) $z Africa, Southern. 650 0 $a COVID-19 (Disease) $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a COVID-19 (Disease) $x Economic aspects. 650 0 $a Quarantine $x Social aspects. 650 7 $a COVID-19 (Disease) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01984643 650 7 $a COVID-19 (Disease) $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02021810 650 7 $a COVID-19 (Disease) $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01984649 650 7 $a Quarantine $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01984674 650 7 $a Social change. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122310 651 0 $a South Africa $x Political aspects. 651 0 $a United States $x Political aspects. 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 651 7 $a Southern Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239519 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012240.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FCECE2D45F0711ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
