In December 2019, an epidemic of COVID-19 was launched across China. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared that COVID-19 could be described as a pandemic. The immobilization of all the countries of the world around this disease and the measures adopted by the health authorities (social distancing, confinement, mask or mask, etc.) modify the relationships between people even within households. The impact of this pandemic is not only medical or health, it seems that it causes a social change which requires the production of sociological knowledge to understand the society of post-covid-19.
Dear John Mendy, thank you for your reply.
Reading certain works published by peculiarists in the human and social sciences on COVID-19, allows us to appreciate real questions at the same time sociological, philosophical, epistemological and ecological relating to the finitude of the human species raised by the pandemic. . In the context of this discussion, I would like to share with you this quote from Alain Badiou: "If, luckily, a new discussion opens up from this type of proposal, the pandemic will have a chance of not having been both biologically deadly, intellectually miserable and politically sterile. "

@Evens Emmanuel Interesting question, I am eagerly waiting for the answers.
I think changing of life style as whole decrease the chance of virus from spreading.. And thus reduces the severity of the disease.
Many questions of social anthropology have to be answered, in evolutionary and psychological terms.
Poster Once upon a time
may be understanding the psychic effects of this pandemic on patients by the researchers could help...
Yes, we have to take more innovations for rapid community awareness for ensuring behavioral changes. No way to be jailed for a virus for an unlimited way.

At times of danger, when mankind is on the brink of annihilation, the collaboration between researchers becomes more prominent than ever before. By staying together and respecting international cooperation, researchers can bring the virus down to its knees.
Philosophical health deeply sustains physical and psychological health – the Ancient Greeks knew it, our societies need to remember it. https://philosophical.health
researchers should deal with the psychological effects caused by COVID 19 in society
Is COVID-19 paradigm-shifting within societies? Most of Europe seem to have tinkering around the edges of their post-modern, neo-liberal structures. Different situations prob do exist in other locations (and I'd love to hear about them) but those I've read about seem minor changes, seen as exceptional during a 'crisis event'. Instead, there seems to be a strengthening of inequality and exploitation -that, for me, is where the attention of social scientists should be.
deep changes in all of our life for along time especially in elderly & disabilities people.
Ingrid Holme Regarding the inequiality issue, I think this crisis is propelling the wave of digital transformation on work. A digital divide on work in showing up and leaving aside many workers that become redundant as a result of the atomatization of proccesses (such as production in factories) or the new comsumption habits (such as online purchase).
Dear colleagues, thank you for your contributions to this discussion.
I think that as well as biological or medical knowledge those on society are also important and necessary for the post Covid. It is a great field for making scientific announcements
Dear colleagues, thank for your valuable contributions to this dicussion.
Primary in this epidemic is that it uncovered, not created, societal and economic factors that nations have not dealth with and are now showing to be a problem. Epidemic are part of our existence. Of course if you want to invoke evolution then it is about natural selection. But also that nature is finding better means to attack humans, more vicious viruses and bacteria. We have to live with that and develop the immunity of our bodies. But if we have chronic conditions regardless of age it is hard to combat mutated viruses every season. Pharma is busy competing to provide medication and vaccines. They are failing. Their only success is profit.
From social studies, it is important to ask the question that Jacques Derrida asked in 2004: do we finally need to learn to live?

The impact of the covid 19 pandemic is not only causing social change but also it has brought down the economy of the world
The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic is a great, serious problem for humanity. The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic is a warning sent by nature to humans against possible similar future pandemics. The problem of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic is not only health, immunological, but also social, economic, cultural, etc. Therefore, research work on the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus and the factors of development and potential consequences of the Coronavirus pandemic should be conducted in various fields and disciplines of science, not only in the fields of medicine, immunology, virology, but also in social and other sciences. Researchers and scientists operating in various disciplines and fields of science should cooperate with each other in an interdisciplinary way. In this way, the possibilities of research work as a result of the interdisciplinary synergy of research development carried out in various fields of science may contribute to the increase in the effectiveness of research works carried out.

Due to This menace people are avoiding each other and their has large gap and psychological issues among people in society. They can play their role.
What are societal mutations? There is something wrong with that phrase
Dear Professor Fadwa El Guindi, thank you for your reply. Allow me to provide an element of answer to the question on the meaning of the concept "Social changes" used in the mentioned sentence. Taken in its context, the notion of "Social Changes" as used here is synonymous with "Societal changes" or "Social changes". According to Britanica "Social change, in sociology, the alteration of mechanisms within the social structure, characterized by changes in cultural symbols, rules of behavior, social organizations, or value systems" (https://www.britannica.com/topic/social -exchange).
The literature available on social, societal, or social, societal mutations on COVID-19 reports a set of questions, information on the modifications in human relationships due to the pandemic.
I am pleased to share with you the paper (Benjamin et al, 2020) "Covid-19: changes in living and socioeconomic shifts in the spotlight", available at:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344100735_Covid-19_changes_in_living_and_socioeconomic_shifts_in_the_spotlight
With the COVID-19 pandemic, we are indeed witnessing a change in social paradigm that is operating a movement of transformation of social living together towards new societal and mental models, which impose social distancing, the wearing of masks, of new conceptions of work, etc. Profound societal changes are underway and the world, not to say our humanity, is in search of meaning. I follow the work of thinkers and researchers in the human and social sciences with admiration, interest and quest for social knowledge. Although I am not from these disciplinary fields, I dare to think today that our humanity, despite the capital importance of the work of virologists and other researchers in the health sciences to provide us with a vaccine allowing the protection of our species relies heavily on the reflection and production of researchers in the human and social sciences, in particular anthropologists and sociologists, to support it in understanding current and future social changes.
Once again, thank you for your contribution.
Dear Zahid Fazal, your contributions to this discussion is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your reply.
A survey and data base must be documented world wide covering all aspects
Dear M.K. Tripathi, your contributions to this discussion is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your reply.
Evens, this is an important issue to discuss as it highlights the need for researchers across a range of scientific disciplines to collaborate in asking new questions, finding new answers and resolutions, testing out and discovering new methods and methodologies and proposing a new set of recommendations to help mitigate against the ravages of COVID-19 on lives and livelihoods. To this effect, I had also started a discussion on RG on the topic 'Coronavirus and new research' especially in the social sciences to see how best the above issues can be addressed as various pathways to the generation and dissemination of new and valuable knowledge. Interesting....
