E-mental health has brought about massive changes to the landscape of healthcare delivery, social health, and even on the geo-political scale. Along with these massive technological leaps, there are accompanying repercussions that are not all beneficial. When we break it down, the prefix e- indicates electronic and mental health refers to our psychological well-being. When combined, we draw the expansive definition for e-mental health: our psychological well-being in an electronic space. This electronic space can be any aspect of the digital world - virtual reality, social media, entertainment, apps, websites, etc. As it entrenches itself into our everyday life, we must explore its benefits but stay skeptical to its detriments.

When a novel coronavirus hit the wet markets of China in December 2019, the world was not prepared. The virus spread like wildfire and within a few months, it had gone global. The pathophysiology of COVID-19 garners much attention in healthcare settings, but illness is not limited to its biological impact—the pandemic’s effects are a mosaic of social, economic, political, environmental, and evolutionary influences. The rapid spread of COVID-19 led to major global changes that compromised economies, healthcare systems, and global connectivity. Written by a group of Canadian students with a passion for research and medicine, Under the Weather: COVID-19 Biosocial System Dynamics takes an interdisciplinary outlook on the high transmissibility of COVID-19 and explores ways in which policy makers, researchers, healthcare workers, epidemiologists, and the general public have come together in dire times to combat the disease.

"This book will discuss the histories of some of the most deadly and influential pandemics in human history, along with contemporary Christian responses and modern theological perspectives on these pandemics. Our goal is not to attempt to answer age-old theological questions about the role of evil, death, and hardship in God’s world, but rather to identify the “ideal” Christian response to widespread suffering."

The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating impacts on every functional aspect of society, with hundreds of thousands dead and millions more infected in just a few short months. Although many countries and regions, such as Canada and most of Europe, have shown significant decreases in the number of active cases, the pandemic is far from over and, on a global level, the peak has yet to even be reached as of July 2020 (Neustaeter, 2020). What started as a small outbreak in Wuhan, China back in late 2019 quickly snowballed into a "public health emergency of international concern" by the end of January before being declared a global pandemic on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2020a). Within an instant, countries were scrambling to close borders, shut down public spaces and workplaces, and draft new regulations to reduce the spread of COVID-19; the world was in a state of limbo and it seemed as if nobody knew what to do next. For many, this was their first time experiencing a global crisis to this degree and concerns from citizens and governments alike rapidly formed. What will happen to the economy? How will children receive an education? When can families reunite once again? These are just some of the questions that dominated citizens as this "new normal" began to set in. Despite taking some time to adjust, however, solutions to almost all of these concerns began to be put in place largely because of advancements in modern technology.
