Abstract

Covid-19 heralded a prolonged global crisis with wide-ranging impacts still unfolding. Understanding their dynamics is crucial for building societal resilience for future crises. Existing studies focus on pre-determined pandemic impacts, with little comparison of their societal significance. This study bridges these gaps through an exploratory, grounded approach, inducing real-time impacts from diverse published sources using qualitative and quantitative methods.
