Hello future people, today we are in 2020 year. We think that technology has advanced a lot since we can order food from the kebab shop five hundred meters away with small computers that we call mobile phones.

There was a war in a country where we had a border a very short time ago, and the most technological weapon used in this war is called gunpowder, which enables the enemy to kill. If you are reading this article 90-100 years from now, we will not be among you and none of the people with whom I am currently living on this planet, but today we live as if we were here from the beginning and will stay here forever, just like you.

These days, social life in the world has come to a complete halt by a virus. Countries have closed their borders, flights have been canceled, many countries have curfews, schools are completely closed, production has almost stopped. Every day, the number of people infected and dying from this virus is broadcast on television channels and on the Internet.

Infection of this virus, called Covid19, results in death only in middle age and older (with exceptions). Right now, all of humanity thinks that they are in a great disaster and everyone is in panic. Despite this, we are lucky. Although a few months have passed since the first case in China, the virus infected only 614 thousand people out of 7.7 billion people in the world and killed 28 thousand people. This number is not more than the number of people who died by committing suicide or by traffic accidents in the same date range, but the main situation that scares us is that the virus is very easily transmitted and everyone is likely to be infected.

We do not know at the moment whether this virus was produced consciously. The fact that the first case was seen in China, which has the world's most populous population with 1.4 billion, and the virus was fatal only in the elderly brought us closer to this idea. If so, that is, if this virus was developed deliberately by someone or someone with a target audience, then we are all in an experiment, and the experimenters may even be waiting for us to thank us for allowing us to survive.

I want you to know how desperate we are today in the face of a biological attack. If this virus were to affect all people instead of a certain age range, and if it were transmitted by air rather than droplets, the whole world would fall into chaos, we would not be able to step out of our homes, we would have to choose between starvation and dying of infection.

Well, seeing how desperate the world is even in the face of Covid19, won't the “bad” people try to use worse for their own benefit or just for pleasure in the future? Will a threatening sentence such as "I will reduce its population by 90% in one day with a virus I send to your country" be pronounced in the history scene? Will biological attacks replace gunpowder as we wait for flying cars? You have seen it. Let's see if we can see.
