Covid 19 pandemic

Its effects on human psychology.

  A year has passed since the coronavirus pandemic broke out worldwide, a virus appeared out of nowhere and changed the course of humanity. A virus of unknown origin is spreading worldwide, causing death in millions of people. Millions of people die every day from the coronavirus so much that the human mind cannot think, so overnight. What happened; Why; so suddenly everything was lost, businesses closed, shops, the governments of all countries proceeded to a mandatory lock down. Everything was closed to protect themselves from the deadly virus and they stayed at home. People started to get scared, they started taking measures to protect themselves from the virus, as much as one can protect oneself in a pandemic where one reaps everyone and everything. Masks everywhere, everyone walks around with masks and gloves on their hands as if they were criminals, they hid their faces so that the virus could not invade their respiratory system causing respiratory problems and even death. The coronavirus 19 is transmitted rapidly in all countries of the world. The elderly and vulnerable groups die every day. Daily intensive screening of the entire population of the earth for the early detection of coronavirus cases and their isolation in quarantine and home confinement for about 14 days as long as the incubation of the virus lasts so that the carrier of the virus can overcome the disease and the high viral load of the coronavirus. Doctors take a sample from the nasal cavity daily by taking a swab and detecting the sample with a rapid test. Coronavirus detectors detect immediately if someone has caught the coronavirus. If a rapid test is positive then the doctors refer the patient to do a molecular test to detect coronavirus. If the molecular test is positive then all carriers of the virus are referred to mandatory quarantine.

Thousands of patients were isolated with early detection of coronavirus, but the cases are constantly increasing. The pandemic was under control with the protection measures, however, many were those who did not apply them or were indifferent to the protection measures or simply did not believe in the existence of the coronavirus, thus making its spread uncontrollable in humanity.

People get sick every day, many die alone helpless in hospitals not being able to see their own to say goodbye. Hospitals are unable to bear this burden of caring for everyone, resulting in ethical dilemmas and the choice of doctors in the intensive care unit as to who they will choose to keep alive and who they will not. The ventilators needed to deliver oxygen are not enough. Medical staff work overtime, overcoming themselves with unbearable shifts and family responsibilities are exhausted.

A year later, the first coronavirus vaccines began to arrive in the countries. Vaccines that did not have the comfort of time to be tested in laboratories for five or even thirty years before they were injected into humanity. How safe can unvaccinated vaccines be? MRna vaccines, the first vaccines to appear and are readily available from various companies. Although there have been some vaccines that claim to be appropriate and effective against covid 19, many people question the safety of the vaccines and do not want to be vaccinated because of possible side effects that have occurred in some people worldwide. About 1000 vaccination centers have been opened in Greece alone, at an express rate, the staff is working feverishly to meet the great needs of those who wanted to be vaccinated with the coronavirus vaccine, and the number is not small at all, thousands of people rush to vaccination centers to be vaccinated, drifting away from each other. Some are scared and hesitant. To help says everyone in collective immunity. But is this the way to achieve herd immunity? Were the protection measures not enough? How long will we wear the masks? Is this how we will live? The jobs of almost all people are closed, only the health institutions work and the police who cut the fines for the violators who do not follow the measures of protection of public health.

The questions are reasonable, but who will answer responsibly to the people? Old, young, old, all trapped in their homes for more than a year. Incarceration and home confinement have led to psychological and psychiatric problems. Depression, pain, frustration, inability to adjust to new circumstances, increased divorces, children trapped at home without being able to go anywhereNew jobs are being created that will respond to the new data. Distance education was born to fill the gaps in children's education from a distance. He eliminated kilometers, the school became digital. Children find a way to advance their education. Telemedicine is beginning to show the urgent need for its implementation worldwide. E-commerce is emerging as the only business that surpasses the lockdown and brings in profits to companies through a pandemic, only then can a business survive by keeping the necessary distances, all trapped in the glass, or if not all the work that can be done with teleworking are now the only solution. Technology and information technology automatically take the lead in people's lives.

Here other problems arise quite large, how ready are the countries of the world for such a project of Television? The internet of things, everything revolves and moves around the internet. The coronavirus has driven people away and unites them only with technology from end to end throughout the universe. All people connected to the internet to work, learn, get information, get their administrative documents, their degrees, their swearing in, transfer all public documents and certificates to the cloud, have fun, play games, fall in love to enter into relationships, acquaintances, communication only with virtual friends and participation in virtual social groups. to become more and more ONE with the various applications and software with which computers operate globally.

CONCLUSIONS – CONCERNS

    Closing my long article so as not to tire you, will the pandemic ever end? Did he come to stay with the coronavirus? Did he come to stay e-learning? or are they just emergency solutions for the pandemic period? Will the child ever re-enter into human relationships or only virtual ones living in a virtual reality throughout his life? Are we moving towards a digital economy only or will we have it in parallel with the current cash economy? Will health informatics prevail or will it coexist with the current medical and nursing science? Will man remain human or become posthuman? Are we heading into a post-human society if he fully develops his metacognitive abilities? Theologically if we take it will man become God or will he be led again to a new babel where people began to speak foreign languages ​​so that they could not communicate? Now what do we have left? Is it a mechanization of life? So what will become of man? posthumous? Cyborg; Machine man? Molecular biology has evolved so much that it can even enter the DNA and RNA of human cells, it can now enter our genome with this technological advancement, what would bother us in the 21st century, lest we eventually end up as biohackers ; After all, is the virus not enough on a computer to find its antibiotic? Do we want the virus of life to find the antibiotic of life itself to eradicate it? They sound like crazy science fiction stories that lead to paranoia, but is it paranoia? Who can answer all these questions that our new generations are coming to experience? Where are we going? An unknown traveler with a boat of hope. The hope for where? Why; To defeat all diseases? It would be a blessing indeed. But if one can hack the software of life and create the same metastases, one will always need to produce the knowledge to produce and program the new software the new code. Will man always be educated to possess this difficult knowledge? And if man can no longer hold this information, the super-information in his little mind, can a posthuman hold it? Can an information superiority hold the super-information? What is the superiority of information? Does a robot machine hold all the knowledge of humanity to work for the good of man? And how can a machine have emotion? Is the machine interested in humans? What if this machine, the robot information superiority starts to program itself? Will it produce its own programs, software? That is, will it produce its own software? Her own thought? Hypersensitivity? A collective universal intellect? Self-programming collective universal intellect programming the collective unconscious. The collective unconscious is considered the soul of man. Did FREEDOM finally end with the slavery of the soul? Are we never happy again? Will a child never live free again to play in the pebbles of a sea because he will live in fear of a pandemic
