Struggle with Covid19 and Some Contradictions

Deaths and diseases because of  Covid19 are continuing all over the world. In Istanbul, 64 people succumbed to this disease yesterday. Until today, 3461 people died in Turkey, 252,000 in all countries. Deaths did not stop despite all the efforts, yet some efforts or struggles are being eased with this sickness in Turkey.

Shopping centers and some kind of shops will be opened next week. People of some age who are not allowed to go out are able to go out in some days a week. On the contrary to those decisions, building corona hospitals are continuing. Government decisions are understandable to maintain financial flow, but these decisions are worrying about prospective deaths in the next days. In my opinion, these decisions will pave the way for more deaths, but I hope that it would not work in this way.

Especially in Istanbul and in many cities, lockdown restrictions are still valid. For one month every weekend is being imposed a curfew in 31 cities, but this week only 24 for cities are included to curfew. Also, there is still being imposed banning exit to other cities and enter from out. One given a reason why some cities are kept out of all strict rules is seem that the economic cost of an ongoing outweigh the risk to lives a resurgent epidemic might pose.

All that happen show us that social state or welfare state policy is undoubtedly important to maintain a powerful, healthy society.
