As an Introduction. The Revenge of the Nature as Catastrophes

With Corona, multiple shifts are taking place within society. Here, I would like to refer to virology, which is taking on a different status as a result of the pandemic and entering the center of society. Although virology cannot be characterized as an “orchid science” until 2020, interest in it can only be estimated as relatively low until the 2020 pandemic. The Bertelsmann Foundation still brought out a hospital report in December 2018, according to which, similar to Italy, there were calls for hospitals to be downsized and intensive care units to be closed because they were underutilized. That the number of ICU beds was too high due to lack of utilization and therefore dysfunctional, contributing to losses, or profit cuts.
