The From Wuhan to almost all parts of the globe, the deadly corona virus (COVID-19) hard-hit humanity like no other deadly disease has ever. This paper analyses the devastating diverse effects of COVID-19 on various aspects of human life, looking beyond its death and infection plagues on humans across the globe. Drawing from secondary data, observation and intuition, the study reveals heart-blowing infection and death rates, variants and non/survivability factors of COVID-19. Next, it shows that besides reducing world’s population and causing global panic and public health challenges, COVID-19 has exerted devastating effects on socio-economic, psychological, clinical, educational, behavioral, nutritional, personal and general aspects of life. Virtually, all nations of the world were/are affected. Although no cogent or permanent solution has been found, alternative orthodox and traditional (herbal) remedies are so far used for recovering the health of infected persons and for prevention. The lockdown, imposed on nations to control the spread, also brought untold difficult situations and diverse effects upon the citizenry. The peak of the effects is the distortion of normal ways of life, which ushered in uncommon new ways of life that most people still battle with. The study concludes that COVID-19 pandemic, which so far defies absolute remedy, has diverse long-term devastating effects on humans and phenomena across the globe. It recommends the harmonized efforts, research findings and remedies, and the subversion of international politics over COVID-19 with more global cooperation and meaningful strategies among all nations of the globe.
