The pandemic that has covered the entire planet has dragged us all into stress, anxiety, fear and confusion. Some of us lost our relatives, some of our family members got sick, some of our relatives were hospitalized, and most of us had acquaintances in intensive care for days. In short, the process affected us all. There were people, including athletes from our basketball and football teams, who got sick.
So, what actually happened? How the Corona virus devastated the earth. Are there any new findings emerging as May ends? I would like to answer as a physician and as an employee of a pandemic hospital like Liv Hospital. I had conversations with my microbiologist, infectious disease specialist and virologist friends in the light of scientific publications and many data. I think the virus is not natural. At the end of the process, it will be revealed that it is a virus that has gone out of control in the laboratory environment due to its structure, virulence (contagiousness) and character that attacks many parts of our body. Its mortality rate is around 6% (2.3% in Turkey), but if we consider the large number of undiagnosed asymptomatic (asymptomatic) cases, the virus has a lethality of less than 1% and has created a global fear and panic because it is easily transmitted through close contact and droplets. . Although it was said that countries would complete their health systems, this did not happen, except for a few regions in Italy and Spain. Those reading now may attribute the reason for this to harsh measures. But I was exposed to an intense virus load for 3 months. As time passed, I and hundreds of my colleagues protected our immune systems and did not have any problems. Only 1% of our classmates from Istanbul Faculty of Medicine tested positive and they recovered and returned to work in a short time. Then you ask, why did we lose a certain number of our colleagues, especially Cemil Taşçıoğlu, who was also my teacher? At this point, I want to say new things. When artificial viruses first emerged, they attacked hosts (with weak immunity) harder. They took advantage of our weak treatment and control practices (for the whole world) and caused us irreparable pain. Take as much precaution as you want, you will definitely encounter the virus, which is so easily transmitted. I mean, the power of Covid19 and its mortality has now decreased. Undoubtedly, precautions and social awareness also played a role! As physicians, our experience and knowledge have also increased. But I can say that Corona, which I think the main factor is artificial, has started to mutate, albeit in a limited way. We discuss this among ourselves with scientific publications and results. There are almost no studies on the post-mutation state of artificial viruses.
Now, at the beginning of summer, I suggest that we relax psychologically and mentally. But never become complacent or relax... Let's wait without fear or worry because we do not know what kind of disadvantage the virus has after a long process or mutation. I think that if we can isolate those with compromised immune systems, we do not pose a risk to each other. But those who have weak immunity and do not know this pose a problem. Don't postpone your health problems anymore! Go to hospitals and your doctors. Trust them. Certain hospitals will become pandemic hospitals and others will remain clean (applies to private and public hospitals as well). Question your hidden immune weaknesses. I predict that we can move into the third phase as of mid-July. You will also be able to go on vacation. Our country (as a physician who has been in touch with a wide range of society for years) will easily get out of the crisis and even become advantageous, thanks to its strong dynamics.
