Crossroads in the Economy: Global or National?

We live together, we see. We are not evolving towards a new world that is not open-ended but uncertain. The era is a global epidemic on the one hand, and a struggle for survival, equivalent to being or not, in which all its economic possibilities are mobilized on the other. Yes, dear readers, we must continue our vital activities, somehow survive until we run out of ammo, but use it sparingly. We should not be afraid of shrinking, we should protect the centennial republican values ​​at all costs and carry them to the future. When we think only of the economy, maybe we will grow by shrinking, but nobody should worry. Turkey has closed the schools, but just like Germany, the economy has not been cut in any way, I even have to say a bit assertively, the production mobilization has been started by accepting it as a trigger factor, we have to continue. We have benevolent engineers, suppliers and manufacturers who say to put a lock on us. Distribution has been otherworldly as a sublime profession.

However, despite everything, we have to see the dimensions of the threat. In other words, we have to be aware that this scientific truth cannot be escaped. What is that scientific fact? Sir, this reality is the fact that at least 60 of all people in the world will be affected by the corona virus (Kovid-19) and can get this disease. Yes, sir, this is an undeniable scientific fact. That's why the "United Kingdom" that drives the world has attempted to try the "herd immune system". By surviving the crown prince and prime minister's stay in intensive care out of the blue. For this reason, we have to be aware of the fact that no matter how much our health opportunities are improved, we can spread the pandemic over time and meanwhile we can pass the protective treatment phase such as plasma therapy, especially the vaccine. But we, both as a state and as a nation, must avoid the active euthanasia we discussed in last week's article at all costs. Because we cannot build crematoriums for our people like bird flu, mad cow culling. We shouldn't. US President Trump is right at one point to view the issue as the "Chinese Virus". After being diagnosed in Wuhan, China, and realizing that this virus is not a "SARS and MERS" but a mutated new virus, I mean "cull", if they could scientifically separate these people somehow, for example, if they could isolate them on an island, an epidemic, a pandemic, that is, a global pandemic. There would be no epidemic. Scientific fact dictates this. There should be absolutely no "scientism" on this subject. Let's not forget, the general rule of the epidemic; is that the second attack searches for the first. As a world citizen, we have to say that if we are not careful, even mass graves are not enough in the face of mass deaths, unfortunately "crematoria" have to be built in cemeteries.

Yes, dear readers, while the health system in Europe collapsed due to the corona virus, the USA on the other side of the Atlantic became the second country with the highest loss of life after Italy in the global epidemic. With the return of the corona virus to a global epidemic, even when schools and universities were closed, western countries with high intellectual level such as Italy, Spain, France and England initially perceived the issue as a holiday. In other words, it has been seen that the education levels of Europeans and Americans are not different, they are at a very primitive level. What is interesting here is that even the reports published after epidemics with mass deaths in their past have been ignored. It has been observed that their planning, programming and budgeting activities have been restricted both in health investments and in program budget expenditures for intensive care units invested in the future, and they have not even updated their epidemic emergency action plans. Despite the harsh measures they are in, they could not prevent the increase in cases and deaths, and most importantly, they had difficulty in treating the patients. This approach is directly the "A Firefighter" approach. It is wrong, it is totally wrong. They behaved as if similar global epidemics had not occurred in the past. For example, countries such as the USA and Italy had to open emergency tent hospitals on streets and parks due to insufficient hospitals. Examples of this are the 1,000-bed 'Comfort' ship of the US Navy, which anchored in New York in order to ease the burden of hospitals, and the 'Splendid' ship in Genoa Port. Even a field hospital was built in Manhattan's largest park, 'Central Park', to prevent the US healthcare system from collapsing. But let's face it, hospitals in New York have started to leave patients to die in the corridors, and even in Germany, active euthanasia is adhered to a protocol. Undoubtedly, all this is a great shortcoming, not being prepared in advance. Isn't it actually recorded in history? Yes, it has been reported. For example, the first report of the 'US Infectious Diseases Society' (AEHD, Infectious Diseases Society of America IDSA)'s March 2005 "AEHD's Principles for Actions Required to Prepare for the Effective Response of the Global Influenza Pandemic / International Influenza Pandemic" (IDSA's Principles for Actions Needed to Prepare the US to Effectively Respond to Interpandemic/PandemicInfluenza[1]. The second report is just as interesting, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis State Branch, "Economic Effects of the 1918 Influenza Pandemic Implications for a Modern-day Pandemic, November 2007", prepared by Assistant Vice President Economist Thomas A. Garrett, March 2007 Even his report was ignored. As it is known, 1918 Spanish Global Flu has been remembered as the most serious epidemic in the history of the USA, in which hundreds of thousands of people died and millions of people were infected with the most contagious influenza virus of the age. In fact, the 1918 Spanish Global Flu has been perceived as a basic model for the possibility of a future global flu epidemic, the possible effects of a future flu epidemic in the United States, and has been the focus of all research on this subject. Although many studies have been made, in a sense, this important 1918 Spanish Global Flu has been erased from the state and social memory of the USA. Whereas the Federal Reserve Bank of St. The said report, prepared by the Louis State Branch, predicted the following in a way that could almost see today:

“Mitigating a future pandemic will require collaboration and advance planning with government and private sector at all levels. Unfortunately, a 2005 report shows that the USA was not prepared for the flu epidemic.[2] It is fair to say that progress has been slow, especially at local government levels, even though federal, state, and local governments in the United States have begun to focus on preparedness in recent years.”

“Assuming that citizens want the government to mitigate the flu epidemic, there should be concern about government readiness and its ability to protect citizens from a pandemic.”

“Health care is insignificant unless a flu epidemic will hamper health care delivery, and cities do not have health facilities that house intubated and intensive care units (as in Philadelphia during the First World War, this state was exacerbated by medical waste). If healthcare workers catch the flu and healthcare facilities are overwhelmed, the duration and severity of the global pandemic will increase. In Philadelphia, for example, during the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, the “urban morgue” faced ten times as many body coffins.”

“Most of the evidence available suggests that the economic effects of the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic are short-term. Many businesses, especially those in the services and entertainment industries, suffered double-digit income losses. On the other hand, there have been great increases in the revenues of other businesses specializing in health products.”

“After all this, can we count on local, state and federal governments to assist US citizens in the event of a future global pandemic? Government at all levels has shown inability to cope with disasters in the past (eg Hurricane Katrina). Local preparedness and responsible action by the population by healthcare institutions and hospitals, voluntary services (eg Red Cross) and private businesses are likely to mitigate the effects of the current flu epidemic.”

What more can it say, didn't this 25-page report, which we briefly quoted, predicted almost everything? It will be a subjective assessment, but I think he predicted too much, dear readers.

When we smell such an air, we see how many unknown factors there are so that a struggle model cannot be formed. There seems to be almost no effective assumption or assumption that can control the global epidemic. By the way, I don't want to talk about domino theory one after another or a disaster scenario like a resonatic conspiracy theory. However, it is a very clear fact that I cannot help but say that we put globalization on the target board. Let's just say that the global epidemic has deeply shaken the global economy and is gradually rolling towards separation. While countries are announcing various precautionary support packages to counter the crisis created by the epidemic at the national level, international credit rating agencies also state that a global recession (recession) is expected for 2020. While the future of the European Union (EU) became controversial, the President of the EU Commission brought up the need for a new Marshall Plan for Europe. From where to where? As you know, the Marshall Plan, II. It was implemented as an economic aid package from the USA, which was put into effect between 1948-1951 after World War II. In accordance with this plan, 16 countries received economic development assistance from the USA, and in return, they were connected to the USA from the heart. So, where will we find that USA, which has become the biggest victim of the Global Epidemic? Search so you can find it. Let's express the simple truth in capital letters, neither "Atlanticist Globalization" nor "Beijing-based Globalization" has no chance to survive, sir. It's not like that with a stick, showing a carrot or a hammer. Sir, the funeral prayer of such globalization has been performed in this world. The hands point to Asia. It is true. But “Asia-Based Globalization” shows that it has a chance to survive on the condition that it is solidarity-oriented. It is in the memories that the USA and the USSR, who faced each other during the 1963 Cuban Missile Crisis, including the Nuclear War, to overcome this epidemic by acting together to completely wipe out the smallpox, which became an epidemic in 1960, from the world.

What I am saying is that the USA and the PRC should fight with the possibilities of the whole world in the global epidemic without blaming each other. At every level, the “You/I” fight must be set aside. Let's not forget, according to the 2019 research of Fortune Magazine, 129 of the world's 500 companies are owned by the PRC and 121 by the USA. However, 20 years ago, in 1999, China had only 8 companies out of 500 companies. When we look at the banking sector, the situation becomes even more pathetic. While 20 years ago, the world's 8 largest banks belonged to the USA, today there are two global-level banks in the USA, which is also ranked 6th and 7th among the top 8 banks. Now, the first four PRCs have HSBC, a German, a French and a Japanese Bank, the 5th of which belongs to Great Britain, also related to China.

In addition, it should be forgotten that in the post-pandemic period, XXI. The real door of the century will be able to be opened. But it can already be seen clearly and distinctly that international aviation and mobilization regulations, especially the international supply chain, may radically change. In the meantime, let's first say that in order to move to a healthy digitalization, extensive analyzes of national and international logistics are needed. This fact should not be denied. It is the fact that the action of finance and economic governance cannot be taken without introducing a concept-based system of needs. On the other hand, real producers in our country, who feed the 55 million people who are trying to survive with the sweat of their brow, except for 27 million, including 12 million retirees, who are not under the guarantee of the state, that is, 12 million retirees who receive a salary from the state, have also started a healthy search in this new system where footsteps are heard. From this sentence, "Participating in Online Production" (teleworking) and "EBA Tv." and "Distance Education" such as "ZOOM, Microsoft Team" may be among the most important agenda topics of the near future. In this gigantic "Online Universe", we are entering a period in which entrepreneurs and/or investors and suppliers must follow the projects and R&D studies for production environments where the rents of shops and shopping malls are zero, and therefore costs are reduced. In this new era, the doors of the new business universe, where "goods and services for online retail sale", which contains almost everything from A to Z, will grow, are opening wide. The secret key of this system is zero assertiveness and deception. The problem is that the nation is educated with a system based on accuracy and declaration. In the education and training system, we have to spread a moral system that teaches deception and not to give credit to cornering to all layers of the society.

Yes, dear readers, it is the XXI. Believe me, it is very difficult for it to completely dominate the century, but for a while until it comes to a level where it can fight, "We are enough for us, Turkey".
