Aggressiveness impacts various aspects of public health, including healthcare system burden, economic costs, and community disruption. A highly aggressive disease can lead to:
- Overwhelmed Healthcare Systems: Rapidly increasing cases can exceed healthcare capacity, leading to shortages of medical supplies and personnel. - Economic Impact: Disease outbreaks can disrupt economic activities, causing significant financial losses. - Community Disruption: Aggressive diseases may necessitate stringent public health measures like quarantines and lockdowns, affecting daily life and mental health.
