The analysis is done keeping in mind the close interaction between the health and economic shocks of COVID-19. The study combines descriptive and qualitative approaches using figures and graphs with quantitative methods that estimate the plotted relationships and econometric estimation that attempts to explain cross-country variation in COVID-19 incidence, deaths and 'case fatality rates'. The study seeks to answer a set of questions on COVID-19 such as what are the economic effects of COVID-19, focussing on international inequality and global poverty? How effective was lockdown in curbing COVID-19? What was the effect of lockdown on economic growth? Did the stimulus packages work in delinking the health shocks from the economic ones? Did 'better governed countries' with greater public trust and those with superior health care fare better than otoverty'. A poignant feature of our results is that while a significant share of health shocks from COVID-19 is borne by the advanced economies, the burden of 'COVID-19 poverty' will almost exclusively fall on two of the poorest regions, namely, Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.Purpose The effect of pharmacist intervention on blood sugar control in diabetic outpatients in a pharmacist-managed clinic was studied by focusing on the re-elevation of the glycated hemoglobin (A1c) level defined as a continuous variable. Methods A retrospective chart review was performed at the Mizushima Kyodo Hospital from April 2014 to March 2016. Of the 221 diabetic outpatients who were provided guidance by nurses and nutritional managers, 62 further consulted the pharmacist-managed clinic. The remaining 159 patients were enrolled in a nonintervention group. Finally, the data of 115 patients with A1c level of ≥7.5% and A1c re-elevat
