“…Not only does coronavirus disease cause great distress in human life, but it also brings several indelible sequels to patients diagnosed with the disease. Sequelae include persistent fatigue (39-73% of those examined), shortness of breath (39-74%), poor quality of living environment (44-69%), diminished pulmonary function system, and anomalous pulmonary fibrosis, CT findings (39-83%), proof of peripheral, peripheral, pericardio-myocarditis (3-26%), psychiatric improved morbidity of diagnosis (5.8% vs 2.5-3,4%) [5].…”

In the last three years, the most commonly occurring topic in people’s day-to-day dialogue has inevitably been the corona-virus disease 2019 (COVID-19). At the same time, it is embodied in various aspects of our lives. For example, keeping social distance, wearing masks, getting vaccinated, staying at home order, working at home have had an impact on people's lives. With the tendency of COVID-19 mutations, more people are being diagnosed or even dying. In addition to this, there is a significant risk of sequelae in those who are recovered. However, there are still no other options such as medical treatment to stop the occurrence of COVID-19 completely. Therefore, this research examines the changes affecting the causes of COVID-19 deaths for these conditions. While many researchers have explored relevant topics during the period affected by the epidemic, this research provides a fairly comprehensive overview of age (11 age groups), sex (male and female), vaccination status, and alterations in the overall number of diagnoses and fatality cases since COVID-19's inception up until the present. It is possible to obtain from the detailed investigation whether there is a significant relationship between COVID-19 and age, sex, and vaccination status. This research includes Box plots and Anova test for different age groups and sexes, and line graphs of the number of vaccinations, the amount of COVID-19 mortality in the United States, and the amount of COVID-19 confirmed cases and mortality worldwide to compare, interpret, and analyze the data to obtain conclusions.

Objective The aim of this research is to investigate the perspective of citizens of Nepal on the management COVID‐19, the roll‐out of the vaccine, and to gain an understanding of attitudes towards the governments' handling of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Method A qualitative methodology was used. In‐depth interviews were conducted with 18 males and 23 females aged between 20 and 86 years old from one remote and one urban district of Nepal. Interviews were conducted in November and December 2021. A thematic approach was used to analyse the data, utilising NVivo 12 data management software. Result Three major themes were identified: (1) Peoples' perspective on the management of COVID‐19, (2) people's perception of the management of COVID‐19 vaccination and (3) management and dissemination of information. It was found that most participants had heard of COVID‐19 and its mitigation measures, however, the majority had limited understanding and knowledge about the disease. Most participants expressed their disappointment concerning poor testing, quarantine, vaccination campaigns and poor accountability from the government towards the management of COVID‐19. Misinformation and stigma were reported as the major factors contributing to the spread of COVID‐19. People's knowledge and understanding were mainly shaped by the quality of the information they received from various sources of communication and social media. This heavily influenced their response to the pandemic, the preventive measures they followed and their attitude towards vaccination. Conclusion Our study concludes that the study participants' perception was that testing, quarantine centres and vaccination campaigns were poorly managed in both urban and rural settings in Nepal. Since people's knowledge and understanding of COVID‐19 are heavily influenced by the quality of information they receive, we suggest providing contextualised correct information through a trusted channel regarding the pandemic, its preventive measures and vaccination. This study recommends that the government proactively involve grassroots‐level volunteers like Female Community Health Volunteers to effectively prepare for future pandemics. Patient and Public Contribution This study was based on in‐depth interviews with 41 people from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. This study would not have been possible without their participation.

“…3 Another group of researchers pointed out that the COVID-19 pandemic would not end in the short-term future. 4 The researchers argued that the need-supply mismatch problem existed in developed, developing, and underdeveloped countries, and that vaccine hesitancy has also slowed down the vaccine rollout plan in some countries. In addition, the possibility of the discovery of new variants in the future cannot be ignored.…”

“…Therefore, it is likely that we will see a recurrence of a mutant variant like Omicron that leads to another outbreak of COVID-19. 4 Here, we used the global prediction system for COVID-19 pandemic (GPCP) 5 with the modified susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered (SEIR) model to make predictions on the development of the COVID-19 pandemic. The assumptions of this model are as follows: (1) The total population should always be equal to the sum of the susceptible population (S), the exposed population (E), the protected population (P), the infected population (I), the quarantined population (Q), the dead population (D), and the recovered population (R); (2) the total population in each region remains unchanged; (3) COVID-19 spreads only via human-to-human contact; and (4) all of the individuals have the same immunity.…”
