- Title
Coronavirus Pandemic: Fear of the Unknown, Shaking Psychological Well-being, Economy, Politics and Morality.
- Authors
Ramose, Mogobe Ben; Sethuntsa, Molelekeng
- Abstract
The essay examines the meaning and impact of Covid-19 in comparative relation to some of the experiences of the Black Death (1348-1350). It also presents and critically analyses actual case studies of pseudo-named people--in recognition and respect for confidentiality in research ethics--infected by Covid-19. "South Africa" is the primary but not the only focus of this essay. The thesis defended in this essay is that the "social distance" prescribed as a preventative measure to curb the spread of Covid-19 ought to be complemented by ethical "proximity to the other".
