Prof. Dr. Tevfik Özlü, Member of the Coronavirus Scientific Committee of the Ministry of Health, emphasized that the virus has spread rapidly in our country and said, "Be ready to stay at home for a long time, try to be happy at home". Özlü also pointed out that nothing will be the same after the coronovirus epidemic. These statements of Özlü give clues about how the epidemic we live in will guide the process. Because people insulated themselves to protect themselves from the coronavirus that caused the death of tens of people all over the world, they tried to protect the social distance in their human relations. People had fear and anxiety while complying with these issues… The sad stories of the people who lost their eyes to life under the influence of the virus, the messages given by the patients via social media and the images of the people struggling to survive in the hospital will continue to affect the individuals even though the epidemic has disappeared. Now we're all showing seven to seventy coronaphobic symptoms. We look at everyone with suspicion at everything and try to see people who are likely to carry the virus as danger. Everyone is in trouble of protecting himself, people see their relatives as danger in first degree and distance them. As I have just said, we all show coronaphobic symptoms, I think in the new process, the warm, sincere and natural communication model that we took over from generation to generation will be replaced by distance, insecurity and distances.
 
You know, eastern societies attach importance to intimacy in their human relationships, touch their interlocutors, make eye contact, convey their feelings as they are and take a sincere approach. I think that these behavioral patterns that are customary after coronavirus will undergo a serious transformation and people will continue their relationship for a certain distance. Over time, this situation will cause individuals to be emotionally disconnected from each other and diverge, and concepts such as friendship, friendship, brotherhood will be shelved.
 
In the days of the fight against coronavirus, so many photos were engraved on our minds that deleting those photos will not be as easy as we thought. Health workers feel sad while looking at their children from distance, those who refrain from meeting with their children and their parents and relatives, those who try to protect themselves as a danger in the apartment where they live, and the fear and anxiety in their eyes will be a bleeding wound in our hearts.
 
After coronavirus, people will look at each other with suspicion, whether they know or know each other, will they not be able to prevent themselves from worries such as if they are carriers, infected, or if they had a test, and this will seriously harm the concepts such as friendship, neighborhood. On the one hand, we have a killer virus on the one hand, and on the other hand, we have human relationships weakened by distances... We are dragged into an impasse, an unknown corridor... What a strange one?
 
While a dangerous virus spreads from the body to the body and death, we will, of course, maintain the required distance or isolate ourselves and wait for the danger to pass. So, how will we maintain our relations with our relatives under these conditions?
 
On behalf of myself I can say that love is a value that pierces all distances, overcomes all obstacles and can flow from the heart to the heart. Neither established traps nor distances can prevent love. Within the precautions taken, we can maintain our relations with our relatives, share our feelings about the process we live with, and get strength from each other. You can be sure of that we will have a chance to maintain our relations with the old taste through communication tools. Be comfortable, the love you carry in your hearts overcomes all the time and ground, all dangers and reaches its goal. We have to take the necessary precautions both for our own health and for the health of the other party, but that doesn't mean that we have also quarantined our love, right?
