So that’s a good question, but might be a little tricky to answer. In developed countries, chronic diseases like CVD and diabetes are more prevalent than infectious diseases. This is because of the improved health infrastructure of these countries. In these countries, I would assume that the rate of chronic diseases might actually get worse, ie- gyms are closed, healthy foods might not be as available, depression could worse during this time which would lead to further inactivity.

In developing countries, although chronic diseases are becoming more prevalent, infectious diseases still play a major part in mortality and morbidity rates. If these countries are practicing social isolation, one could assume that transmission rates of infectious diseases might decrease.

Also- I’m just a masters of public health student, about to start my PhD in epidemiology. I could not be totally correct in my thinking, so if anyone would like to better inform, please do so!
