#22 Travelogue Turkey: Corona Geography
The virus itself may be interesting to scientists or scared citizens but Iโm more interested in different countriesโ response to that same little virus. Europe and Asia are obviously very different but what about Turkey? As expected, Turkeyโs Covid-19 response is perfectly in the middle.
๐ฆ Turkey is in Europe:
The virus feels very much at home in Europe nowadays and also loves Turkey. People respond by wearing masks and following social distancing rules. Lockdowns and curfews are quite strict.
๐ฆ Turkey is in Asia:
People understand the rules more as a formality and wear masks outside where they donโt actually help. They may not believe in the rules deeply because ultimately they believe not in science but in fate.
---Vocab---
๐response = reaction ๐lockdown = closing businesses because of the virus ๐curfew = rule that you canโt go outside ๐formality = meaningless requirement ๐ultimately = in the end
