The risk of spreading the virus in Wuhan city of China is increasing. This threat was also became clear when the World Health Organization declared it an "International Public Health Emergency". The details given in news bulletins for days have also caused the uneasiness limit in people to be exceeded. The situation has now turned into a deep fear.
The corona virus necessarily reminded the plague of the Black Death of the Middle Ages. As it is known, the plague spread from China to the whole world. Fleas in rats were the main carriers of the disease. The plague was moved to the West with the Silk Road, the most important trade route of the time, and spread to other continents. This deadly plague virus that originated in China first reached Tana, the port city on the Black Sea end of the Don River, and from there it affected almost the whole world. The plague had destroyed all the established rules, which were called unshakable in the 14th century, and turned everything upside down. The feudal principalities of the Western world were also directly affected by these developments. Especially in the UK, the social system, which was built up on the noble-peasant divide, which was well protected until then, had experienced radical changes. You ask why? Because the deaths had increased so much that the British nobility began to share peasants who would work for them. They even made legal arrangements so that no one would seduce another's worker. However, it still had no effect against the plague. The process went so far that even the "Peasant Revolt" led by Wat Tyler. With this revolt, the peasants captured an important part of London. In the end, Tyler was captured, executed, but nothing happened in England before the plague. Of course, the church had to take its share from the plague. He couldn't keep his old power. Political, social and economic life changing with the plague has formed the infrastructure of the Reform movements in the 16th century. In other words, the fleas that use the rats that you can understand as a passenger destroyed the whole world and passed. Thank God the world is now far from the danger of the plague in the Middle Ages on the coronavirus. However, if we say that we are experiencing a small projection of that period, we will not be using a false statement.
On the other hand, another finding that can be said about viruses such as coronavirus is the threat of spreading: These viruses threaten everyone without exception, regardless of the rich-poor, advanced-backward distinction. They actually equalize the world. They are not classified as developed, less developed, developing or underdeveloped countries. In fact, the strength of the industries of the developed countries and the size of the commercial capacities can be the greatest risk for them in such dangerous times. Well, can we say biological warfare experiments for these experiences? I am not going to discuss this issue in this article. Otherwise, we already know that these wars can happen with more insidious and secret plans. Even if GMO foods, even hybrid seeds, have not been properly aroused public interest, opening such a discussion on coronavirus may not lead us to healthy points. We should really focus on the borders of China's nutrition culture here. Because the virus is known to pass from wild animals to humans. Accordingly, if the cause and how the virus spreads from the seafood market where the live wild animals are sold in Wuhan are not investigated, God forbid, we may not be able to eliminate the new threats that may occur. The fact that the interest in “Halal Food” in China has increased more than ever in the news released after the virus also reveals the point that we are concerned about and are trying to express.
As a result, China and then all countries have to think and put their heads in their hands. This painful experience once again showed that financial power alone is not enough to make countries safe in all respects. Everyone should take a position knowing that their material and moral security passes through the other's safe living, no one should be behind the common issues that concern all of humanity. Otherwise, there are days when all fortunes are revealed and it does not make sense to deal with problems.
