After the relaxation of some measures against the pandemic, the opinion of "the pandemic is over" began to prevail in the society. However, the reality shows that the pandemic continues. Those who lost their lives from the pandemic announced every day are still in the 125-150s. It is as if the number of people who died from the pandemic decreased from 300 to 125-150, and it is reflected in the media that the number of people who follow the Covid-19 news in the society is gradually decreasing. So we can say; society has generally removed the pandemic from its agenda. Let me point out right away that if it has been possible to reach that point, of course, it should not be forgotten that sleeping with an epidemic and waking up with an epidemic does not do any good beyond harming people's mental health. Because for two years, our days have always been filled with this epidemic. Those over a certain age were confined to their homes for months. Because death threats were persistently expressed in all statements for those over a certain age, which inevitably increased uneasiness.
In the meantime, those who do not explain the issue with the removal of some measures, the reduction of its lethal effect brings to mind the question of whether there is a new variant in the coronavirus. When new variants came to the fore at the beginning of the epidemic, it was felt that although the spread of the virus increased, its danger decreased, as if it was turning into the flu. As a result, we have come to such a point that; The number of daily cases has exceeded 100 thousand, and the number of people who lost their lives every day has exceeded 300.
In the meantime, some experts stated that the epidemic will take a shorter time, especially after the Omicron variant becomes widespread. As a result, while the number of cases suddenly exceeded hundreds of thousands and there was an explosion in deaths, it was expected that full closure would come to the agenda, but after a meeting, there was a relaxation especially in mask team and avoiding crowds. In fact, this relaxation was becoming more and more widespread in society from the beginning of the epidemic. The fact that the complete closure did not come to the agenda has inevitably pushed the society into laxity in the implementation of the measures.
When a certain group's campaign against masks and vaccines is added to this, an image appeared as if the fight against the pandemic was left to consent. Let me point out right away that the closure inevitably brought about economic crises, and as the closure extended, it became increasingly difficult, even impossible, for the state to compensate for the losses. The gradual reduction of the measures was also pleasing to the society.
While full closure was implemented for days in the cities where a few cases occurred in China, we did not go to this, it was as if there was an image that social immunity was expected to occur spontaneously.
All of these are, of course, a matter for experts to evaluate. However, it would not be a doomsayer to say that it would be wrong to consider the resulting situation as the epidemic over, despite a decrease in the pandemic, cases and deaths. Because it is still seen that the number of people who lost their lives every day varies between 125-150. It is not possible to underestimate the number of 125-150 people who lost their lives.
When the number of people who lost their lives in a traffic accident is 5-6, it is not right to underestimate the fact that 125 people die every day due to this epidemic, while the event is considered a disaster, and it is not right to feel that the epidemic is over. Because dying is not fainting. The fainted may come back to life after a while, but those who are gone do not come back, cannot be brought back.
Since the measures were relaxed because the pandemic was no longer a threat, then why do 125-150 people die every day? The answer to this question needs to be given clearly.
