The Health and Socio-Economic Crisis of COVID-19 ‘State of Shock’: A Case Study in Greece
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a continuous health
crisis from March 2020 until today. The health crisis due to the imposed
restrictions caused socio-economic crisis and disorders in almost all over the
world. Greece is not an exception in these new conditions that the health
crisis has imposed. Through a structured questionnaire, distributed to young
people, we investigate how the health crisis affected Greek people.
Specifically, we study the respondents’ opinions regarding the anti-dispersion
prevention measures, their feeling of security and who is responsible for the
pandemic. By means of descriptive statistics and more advanced statistical
techniques, we aim to verify or disprove the view of Naomi Klein that a society
in deep crisis is in a ‘state of shock’, unable to react.
