Covid-19

The Covid-19 outbreak process continues. We completed the fourth week of being lockdown at home. There are optimistic explanations, but realistic comments say that this process will continue until the end of June, and moreover it will take 1-2 years with new mutated waves next year.

In this period, we closed our borders. We paused Turkish Airlines flights. Airports are  closed except for emergencies. Intercity passenger transportation has been stopped.

Closing the borders was an important decision. Especially Iran, Iraq, Syria borders were very important for us to stop the epidemic. The entry of people infected from Iran and the Middle East was very dangerous. On the other hand, we hear that the epidemic has increased in Russia, Bulgaria, Greece and Georgia.

The existence of the outbreak is unlike the power of any combat weapon. The American USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier, located near the Pacific island of Guam, has 4000 specialist soldiers, but since the 150 and 500 soldiers, including the captain, tested positive for the epidemic infection, the huge warship almost failed to work.

Likewise, 150 of 1700 soldiers are sick in the French aircraft carrier DeGaulle in the Mediterranean. If the pilots get sick, the soldiers get sick, who remains to fight?

Germany eased the rules of outbreak, facilitated the entry of simple heavy bodily workers in the factories in agricultural fields,  100 thousand workers from EastEurope entered Germany. Because the average age is 49 in Germany, most of them do office work with  computers. They work from home without going to the office.

In the Covid-19 process, it is useful to reconsider foreign policies that are paralyzed in the global environment.
