THE CURRENT GLOBAL CRISIS KATE SCARBOROUGH
T The impact of this pandemic is almost unfathomable. Not only has there been a tragic loss of life, the disruption to daily life will have a knock-on effect for years as our economies recover.
he current global crisis is an unprecedented challenge for mankind. In living memory, we have not been faced with a crisis that has affected our international community so drastically and indiscriminately. At the time of writing, there have been over 1.3 million cases of COVID-19 reported worldwide, and almost every country has been affected.

going into lockdown has been a jarring one for many. The impact of this pandemic is almost unfathomable. Not only has there been a tragic loss of life, the disruption to daily life will have a knock-on effect for years as our economies recover. Almost every person has been affected by this outbreak and each will have their own account of how it impacted them. As a final year law student this pandemic has hit at a crucial time in my life and professional development and I am glad to be able to share my experiences and perspectives. MAY-JUNE 2020
