Since the times of old, pandemic remains a periodic yet uninvited visitor with regretful consequences in each occurrence. With scientist taking a front roll in this context, this paper is suggestive of the fact that pandemic can be discoursed across a wide variety of fields including drama. Specifically, this paper examines the concept and history of pandemic, particularly the Corona Virus and its attendant consequences to the human society. Theoretically, it applies Cintya Lanchinba, Andrea Bonilla’-Bolanos and Juan Pablo Diaz-Sanchez the Microeconomic perspectives model which states that; the very nature of any containment strategy reduces economic activity so that aggregate supply (AS) and aggregate demand (AD) fall. The paper hinges on the template of Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People as its paradigm. The paper discovers that pandemic has been with man for centuries yet it remains as a shock to humanity. It also discovers that dramatists play pivotal role in unraveling the mysteries of humanity. The paper therefore recommends that the government utilize its power particularly for progressiveness. Hence, both government and stakeholders are encouraged to adequately fund science related researches not just for curative but for futuristic preventions.
