Edward Lorenz, a meteorology professor at MIT, had posed a question during the 139th meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1972): “Does the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas?” He intended to mean that some complex dynamical systems exhibit unpredictable behaviors. These small variances in the initial conditions could have profound and widely divergent effects on the system's outcomes (Americanscientist.org). Subsequently, this came into popular culture as Chaos Theory or Butterfly effect which meant that ‘the cause and effect relationship of any occurrence cannot be precise and can have a far-reaching variable impact.' Here an attempt is made to understand the socio-economic repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic keeping in mind the framework of Chaos Theory.
