Cryptocurrency experts wonder the obvious. The global epidemic is increasing Bitcoin's impact on the worldwide economy. Is it feasible to treat the next epidemic with Bitcoin's blockchain technology? This allows a "chain" to form between successive blocks.

A blockchain's "un-hackability" is therefore improbable.

Blockchain

The Blockchain relies on data sharing. However, each node receives a copy of the spreadsheet and all previous versions, from when it was first generated to the last update.

Because each network node has a backup copy of the whole spreadsheet history, there is no "central" repository or administrator for the data. But a "distributed ledger" is simply that.

What sets blockchains apart from "shared" spreadsheets?

Each node will check its repository of previously recorded information to see if any differences have happened. However, they refuse to publish the once-updated data onto the "spreadsheet." The number of "nodes," or computers, and the security of a blockchain are related.

A pandemic is comparable to this scenario. A Pandemic [P-1] blockchain is like a gigantic spreadsheet that tracks every new P-1 occurrence.

The cryptographic information provided in every new P-1 transaction protects individuals who join up for P-1 and any data they share with others.

The entity that wrote to the Blockchain is included in the transaction to validate the data. One technique to ensure the P-1 Blockchain's integrity is to "verify" contributors. Like any digital ledger, Blockchain is only as good as its data. This is vital.

Following confirmation and publication to the P-1, we'll proceed as follows: To create an unbroken record of all P-1 transactions on all blockchain nodes, each "block" of data contributed to a blockchain is swiftly updated. If anyone has access to the data in this block, you cant change it without re-creating the chain.

Covid-19 in the Real World

Acoer, an Atlanta-based open source, and blockchain solutions company, debuted it in 2017. Acoer recently adapted their HashLog data visualization tool for COVID-19 analysis.

As the coronavirus epidemic has proved, it is helpful in public health emergencies. However, price gouging has caused some hospitals to care for patients without hand sanitiser or toilet paper.

Nevertheless due to the massive supply chain disruptions produced by COVID-19, this technology can be utilized to combat the virus and reduce its economic repercussions actively.

It's very important to know about the risks of installing blockchain.

Immutability and openness of data are crucial aspects of security and reliability. Regulating privacy conflicts with these two points.

However, once entered, data cannot be removed from a blockchain. It's unclear if this technology can protect patient privacy.

Conclusion

Decentralization increases data immutability. A less decentralized blockchain would be required to incorporate a "delete button" for blockchain data.

Nevertheless, permission blockchains (also known as consortiums) are less secure because their nodes are not anonymous, and other users can easily modify data.

Decentralization reduces this protection. Fewer nodes are responsible for data integrity and security, making data more vulnerable.
