“…A study by Verna P. et al analyses the impact of COVID-19 on the economic growth and stock market as well. In addition, the research considers the top five other tax revenue sources like S&P500 (GPSC), Crude oil (CL=F), Gold (GC=F), Silver (SI=F), Natural Gas (NG=F), I Shares 20+Year Treasury Bond (TLT), and correlate with the COVID-19 [6].…”

The outbreak of pandemic COVID-19 across the globe with more than three million dead people has completely disrupted the, social, economic and financial structures of the world. The rapid spread of COVID-19 pandemic in early March 2020 interrupted the growth momentum, which was present in most of the Eastern European countries. Many countries have closed their borders, ordered businesses to close, instructed their populations to self-quarantine, and closed schools. In addition, stock markets around the world have fallen and tax revenue sources have collapsed. Because of the medical crisis, governments across the globe implemented monetary, fiscal and balance of payments measures to curb with the severe economic downturn. Today, one and a half year after the first case was registered in China, even with high uncertainty about the path of the pandemic, a way out of this health and economic crisis is increasingly visible. In this paper, we prepare macroeconomic overview of the COVID -19 impact on the macroeconomic developments with comparative analysis of the Eastern European countries. Unfortunately, many of these countries are among the worst performers with very high number of deaths per million people. We found serious impact of COVID-19 to the economies in this group of countries with higher magnitude than the global financial crisis of 2007-2009. The impact is different, attacking both supply and demand side of the economy and certain sectors has been more affected, especially micro, small, and medium enterprises. We found that countries, which rely more on tourism sector, suffered more than other countries.

“…Due to the high person‐to‐person dissemination capacity of SARS‐CoV‐2, the disease adversely affected 114.8 million people with 2.5 million deaths in 219 countries and territories around the world (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/). Globally, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) has created a health disaster and economic crisis [1,2] . The disease forcibly affects economic growth worldwide and pushes millions of people towards unemployment.…”

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) is highly pathogenic to humans and has created an unprecedented global health care threat. Globally, intense efforts are going on to discover a vaccine or new drug molecules to control the COVID‐19. However, till today, there is no effective therapeutics or treatment available for COVID‐19. In this study, we aim to find out potential small molecule inhibitors for SARS‐CoV‐2 main protease (M pro ) from the known DrugBank database version 5.1.8. We applied structure‐based virtual screening of the database containing 11875 numbers of drug candidates to identify potential hits for SARS‐CoV‐2 M pro inhibitors. Seven potential inhibitors having admirable XP glide score ranging from −15.071 to −8.704 kcal/mol and good binding affinity with the active sites amino acids of M pro were identified. The selected hits were further analyzed with 50 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to examine the stability of protein‐ligand complexes. The root mean square deviation and potential energy plot indicates the stability of the complexes during the 50 ns MD simulation. The MM‐GBSA analysis also showed good binding energy of the selected hits (−83.2718 to −58.6618 kcal/mol). Further analysis revealed critical hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions between compounds and the target protein. The compounds bind to biologically important regions of M pro , indicating their potential to inhibit the functionality of this component.

Alongside the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has had to face a growing infodemic, which has caused severe damage to economic and health systems and has often compromised the effectiveness of infection containment regulations. Although this has spread mainly through social media, there are numerous occasions in which the mass media have shared dangerous information, giving resonance to statements without a scientific basis. For these reasons, infoveillance and infodemiology methods are increasingly exploited to monitor online information traffic. The same tools have also been used to make epidemiological predictions. Among these, Google Trends - a service by GoogleTM that quantifies the web interest of users in the form of relative search volume - has often been adopted by the scientific community. In this regard, the purpose of this paper is to use Google Trends to estimate the impact of Italian mass media on users' web searches in order to understand the role of press and television channels in both the infodemic and the interest of Italian netizens on COVID-19. In conclusion, our results suggest that the Italian mass media have played a decisive role both in the spread of the infodemic and in addressing netizens' web interest, thus favoring the adoption of terms unsuitable for identifying the novel coronavirus (COVID- 19 disease). Therefore, it is highly advisable that the directors of news channels and newspapers be more cautious and government dissemination agencies exert more control over such news.
