The COVID-19 pandemic affects every aspect of life in 2020 and creates question marks in all areas of the future. But some of these worries stem from our memory deceiving us. Namely; With the twentieth century, the reflection of the developments in science and technology in our daily life and the comfort it created made us forget many struggles in history. One of them is epidemic diseases and their effects on daily life. History has the capacity to convey to us past experiences of what the world will be like after COVID-19, and thanks to these experiences, we have the opportunity to be very optimistic or more realistic. In this panel, the effects of epidemics throughout history in the world, in Turkey and in the war zones will be discussed with the experts and the lessons learned will be brought to the agenda again.
