Answer to Question #142785 in Ecology for Imtiaz Uzair Khan

Question

How corona affects biosphere?

Answer 1

This question is open-ended and quite complex and multifactorial. It can be considered in sufficient detail and from various angles: natural, medicine, economic and social, etc.

The first thing worth paying attention to is that the introduction of a lockdown (strict restrictive quarantine measures) affected a decrease in industrial production and a significant decrease in movements, which definitely has a positive effect on the environmental situation.

On the other hand, the irrational use of antibiotics in the treatment of viral pneumonia and the massive use of antiseptics can accelerate the manifestation of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, which contributes to the development of aggressive multi-resistant microflora.
