According to a report by Bloomberg News and disease forecasting company Airfinity in London, multiple infectious diseases like influenza, pertussis, smallpox, and bacterial infections are resurging worldwide post the COVID-19 pandemic, surpassing pre-pandemic levels. Factors such as prolonged isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic possibly leading to 'immunological debt,' reduced vaccination rates, and accelerated global warming are believed to contribute to this surge in infectious diseases. The situation, which has been ongoing for almost four years since the outbreak of COVID-19, is causing unexpected challenges. Various hypotheses like 'immunological debt' and the impact of vaccination rates and climate change are being considered to explain this phenomenon.
