Covid-19 pandemic

The Covid-19 pandemic, while seemingly in the past, continues to have far-reaching consequences across various sectors globally. These articles, though not directly about the virus itself, highlight its lingering impact. The US withdrawal from the WHO, initiated during the pandemic, is now complete, leaving behind a significant debt. Economic fallout is evident in Russia, where Moscow's Domodedovo Airport was sold at a heavily discounted price, signaling economic isolation. In the UK, Gordon Ramsay warns of a 'bloodbath' for restaurants due to tax changes, a situation exacerbated by the pandemic's disruption to the hospitality industry. Furthermore, Canada is experiencing a shift in attitudes towards immigration, potentially influenced by pandemic-related border closures and economic anxieties. These diverse situations demonstrate the enduring and multifaceted impact of the pandemic on international relations, economic stability, and social attitudes.
