Abstract
The outbreak of the deadly Covid-19 virus has snatched smiles from everyone’s face and now the entire world has been affected directly or indirectly by the effects of the virus, this virus keeps on mutating due to which there is no proper medicine or a final vaccine that assures it will curb the spread of the virus, major countries all over the world has lost more people than in a war and is still losing its people even after getting fully vaccinated. The horror is so much imbibed in each human it seems unrealistic to even think that the world will be normal ever again. This outbreak of the unknown virus is certainly a black-swan event that has annihilated people economically, emotionally, and socially and has made each individual realize the importance of one’s health and how to be a responsible person by taking care of whatever finances one has, as in unprecedented times savings are the only resort left with a person. It is a testing time and everyone is at war, we all are soldiers in this pandemic and our health care workers, administration, and government are trying their best to stop the spread of the disease as it has killed more than four lakh people in India only and in the world tally is more than forty lakhs with numbers increasing. In this appalling situation when everything has been shifted to online mode solutions must be looked at in more technologically driven methods, in today’s world due to rapid advancement in the IT and computer science sector there are ways to track the next rising hotspot of the virus and how it can be contained by taking swift actions if predicted within a particular time frame. Data collection, data analysis, and studying trends can help in assessing the upcoming threats, and in this manner, new job opportunities can also be created as it will involve people being prepared with limited medical knowledge to cure the people affected with the virus. In these times government and administration must adopt technologically backed solutions which will help the system to make accurate decisions based on real-time data-driven modeling capable of identifying the relevant information.
