The unpreparedness to deal with the Corona pandemic and the inadequacy of interventionsand measures to control that world has created a critical situation. In this article based onbiopolitical analytics, I want to show why we stand at this point and that unpreparednessand inadequacy have rooted in the structure of the epidemic (objects, sciences, andinstitutions). In this analysis, I will focus on the objects, sciences and institutions related tothe structure of the epidemic and scrutinize how the structure of the epidemic has causedinvisibility of objects such as the city, citizenship and society, which has led to thehiddenness of the related sciences and institutions. Medicalization of the health and thepriority of epidemiology have been the result of this historical process. It seems that therevival of urban medicine and serious attention to health humanities as a potential linkbetween biomedical sciences, politics and society can open up new horizons.
