Impact of globalization on ergodic behaviour of pandemic diseases outbreaks

Abstract

Since the rise of human civilisation, mankind is severely exposed to many pandemics like the recent life-threatening COVID-19, a mutated coronavirus that shares a novel character in the same screenplay. The technological edge and improved living standards of the different population all around the globe is a protective shield against any pathogenic invasion. However, the achievements in globalization can be a double-edged sword. Aftermath, all wavy-epidemics are likely to remain on the planet as random outbreaks, unless counter vaccines are discovered. The H1N1 caused by the influenza virus, outbreaks of 1918- USA, 1976-USA, 1988-USA, 2007-Philippines, 2009-USA, 2015-India, 2016-Pakistan and 2018-India are reasonable explanation to this argument, where in the outbreaks of 1918 and 2009 ended-up as pandemic as well. The article analyses the ergodic behaviour of the pandemic and progresses with the necessary condition to avoid this ergodic character attached to the pandemic in a globalization perspective. A case study has been conducted to highlight the global impact of the pandemic, as per the present medical support available. The study addresses the globalization factor to reduce the non-ergodic time ratio, in terms of benefits.
