The socio-economic effects of the COVID 19 Pandemic process

The Coronavirus, which emerged in Wuhan, China at the end of December 2019 and spread to all countries, has had serious effects on the world's economic, political and social structure, and this process continues. As it is known, human beings transitioned from a mobile and gathering life to a settled life around 10 thousand years BC, and thus communication with each other became possible, and interactions between people and cities began. People's contact with each other and their first interaction can be considered as the first steps of globalization. Settled life provided product development, over time, exchange (barter) emerged and reached its current level in the form of interactions with different regions and continents. There are two fundamental changes that affected the life and development of human beings throughout history. One is the agricultural revolution; the other is the industrial revolution. The agricultural revolution created effects that changed the fate of human beings. People were able to produce more than they needed and the financing of the progress that came until the industrial revolution was created. With the industrial revolution that emerged in the 1760s, the pace of development was much faster than the agricultural revolution and the transition to mass production began. This process triggered globalization on the one hand and enabled the development of new stages and technologies in industry on the other hand and has continued to the present day. After 2010, the phase called the 4th Industrial Revolution period began. At this stage, the world has become a “global village” very quickly within a digital process. This speed and dizzying developments have initiated the period of global interaction and spread in epidemic diseases as in every subject. Now, humanity has come face to face with the era of “global epidemics” or “global viruses”.
