Option 1

 * Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism
 * This article discusses the effect the coronavirus pandemic has had on the tourism sector in each country, as well as global tourism. It lists all countries that consider tourism to be a big part of their annual income/profit. Further, it delves into the sectors like car rental industry, hotel industry, and the restaurant industry, all of which rely heavily on tourism to keep it alive and functioning. A small section of the article is dedicated to 'tourism despite the pandemic'. I would like to add a section to the article discussing the evolution of tourism and what it might tourism look like after the pandemic (how people are changing their restaurants, tourist companies reassessing their business models, etc.).

Option 2

 * COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns
 * This article talks about the lockdown initiatives in almost every country. It talks about the length of the lockdown period, the lockdown regions, and the lockdown of schools and universities. It also dedicates a section to the countries, as well as some states in the US, that have not issued a lockdown. Some lockdowns are territorial, while other are regional. I would like to add more information about countries in the Middle East, and their lockdown efforts.

Option 3

 * Financial market impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
 * This article discusses the extent of the economic disruptions caused by the pandemic. It investigates the financial markets and their response to the economy. Oil prices, stock markets, and the bond market as well are all brought up in the article. It categorizes the events by weeks and months, and lists the events that happened. The article discusses the oil price plunge that occurred and how major OPEC countries have played into that. I would add to the article a section of the history of pandemics in relation to how they have effected financial markets (especially stock markets).

Option 4

 * Globalization and disease
 * Globalization is a large part of why a health issue turned into a pandemic. This wiki article analyses how globalization defines the science and intensity of the transmission of infectious disease. Some information is given as to the history of globalization and the travel patterns of earlier humans as a result. A section is also dedicated to the effects of globalization in the modern world where trade and travel are much faster and easier. Many diseases are investigated in relation to globalization over the times like HIV/AIDS, Ebola, and Malaria. I would like to add more information about the corona virus and add a section relating to my literature review research question.

Option 5

 * Development aid
 * This article discusses the facets of development aid or external help. This article explains external aid as it is initiated by governments to help other governments economically, environmentally, politically, or socially. It is also discussed within the article the origins and types of aid. I would like to edit the article where I can add a section regarding the negative impact of aid during pandemics. Also, the section would be dedicated to the framework currently set in place by bilateral and multilateral agencies to coordinate the aid.
