Introduction
The regional pandemic that emerged in Wuhan (China) in 2019 quickly spread to almost all countries
worldwide and developed into a global epidemic.
The new corona virus, which has a lower fatality rate than bird flu, Ebola, Sars and "Spanish flu", is more deadly
than the common flu, cold and polio. The spread rate of corona virus is lower than smallpox and measles and
higher than swine flu and Mers.
Before Covid-19, the biggest Ebola epidemic in human history was the epidemic that started in 2014 and came
about because a boy was leaning against a tree in which the bats lived. Within two years, the virus spread to
several countries in Africa, nearly 30.000 people became infected with the virus and over 11.000 people died of
internal bleeding and extreme fever.
According to allegations, a person in Austria first became infected with the new corona virus on February 25,
2020. In Turkey, it was said that the first corona infected people appeared on March 11, 2020.
In Austria, the government left most of the struggle with the virus to the initiative of the people. Apart from
pharmacies and supermarkets, all shops and schools were closed in the shortest possible time. The
supermarkets were obliged to distribute mouth-nose protection masks to the buyers in the entrances of the
markets and all people were asked to keep 1 – 1,5 meters away from the next. At the same time, people were
asked to do this alone, to continue doing sports and to go for walks. The Vienna city government asked all 65-
year-olds not to go out and, if absolutely necessary, to deviate from public transport. To keep them away from
the public transport, the government sent taxi vouchers worth € 50 to people aged 65+. In order to boost the
economy, € 50 catering vouchers were issued per household. In October € 450 will be paid to job seekers and €
360 per child to families with children.
In Turkey, the Akp government, led by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, took a long time to implement measures against
the new corona virus. Therefore, they had great difficulty in controlling the virus. The long-term ban on going
out to 65+ year olds and young people under 20 was very annoying for most people.
In addition to the belief that the new corona virus from the Sars group has spread via the bats, there is also a
thought among many people that the virus was developed in a laboratory. I personally believe that this plague
originated in a laboratory, but was not spread to the world on purpose. I take this view because of an article
about bats that I read in a German magazine about six years ago.
In this article, which uses the bats, which can carry and spread a large number of viruses because they can fly,
in addition to the viruses of the Sars group, which mostly lead to respiratory diseases, it was expressly
emphasized that the most dangerous viruses from the group: " Hendra and Nipah ”, in contrast to Sars viruses,
which almost all researchers are allowed to research, very few researchers are allowed to experiment with
these viruses under strict controls and there is no concern in Europe because they would only appear in Africa.
As the new corona virus has shown us, the viruses can “inadvertently” spread all over the world and develop
into a pandemic.
If viruses unknown to humans penetrate into the organs, the "Stimulator of interferon genes = Sting" genes try
with all their might to fight them off. In this way, these viruses can spread to all organs and have fatal
consequences. Since these “Sting” genes are not very well developed in bats, they can live with these diseases.
Although the bats distribute very dangerous pathogens to humans, they take on many important functions in
ecosystems and should therefore not be treated and exterminated like terrorists, the same conditions should
apply to them as to all wild animals: avoid contact.
