This book examines how people felt during the hardest times of the pandemic. Exploring the experience of Syrian refugees, the connection between the pandemic and food, and the consequences of major risks in the network society, it discusses the relationships between emotions, vulnerability, poverty, and power in the pre- and post-COVID-19 contexts. The book considers the diverse faces of the pandemic and its consequences, showing it to be an indicator of the vulnerability of various groups of people, while also detailing how medical protocols, statistics, and scientific rationality have replaced the usual market rationality.
