The Pacific Island countries are underdeveloped countries on earth with different traditional backgrounds and thus yet to adapt to western cultures.  For the past few months, the pacific island countries have been hard hit by the second wave of covid-19 where people who were considered above 45 years have been vulnerable and susceptible to death. This was happening on our very eyes and confounded and scary because such as never experienced before. From first wave of coronavirus, it has been treated and considered spineless ineffective disease which the people of the pacific islands countries were naturally immune including Papua New Guinea until the second wave hit the hardest. The countries in the pacific islands are completely and totally vulnerable to death due to lowest economy, poor health systems, and unreliable public service and most importantly underdeveloped. Economies were crippling at the steady rate when government considered lockdown and people have suffered greatly thus implications are of very severe. The Pacific countries are considered most crippling nations by covid-19 because the size and magnitude of our economy, health facilities and the people’s lifestyles have profoundly affected and contributed towards the escalating trend of covid-19 pandemic. The issues faced now is to mitigate spread and combat sustainably from the pandemic.
