Abstract

The COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered biological agent, has turned into a devastating pandemic (Wu; Zhao; Yu et al., 2020). Social and behavioral factors have played a fundamental role in the incredibly rapid spread of the disease: a) poor hygiene habits; b) business traveling/commuting and tourism; c) training and discipline to prevent similar cases; d) uncontrolled economy and overconsumption; e) governmental extremism (The Lancet, 2019; The Lancet 2020); f) disbelief of scientific findings, negationist or antiscientific views; g) individualism, lack of community spirit; h) anti ecological behaviors, environmental devastation.
