The spread of Corona Virus or Covid-19 is a real threat that continues to occur. Government efforts to reduce the case are increasingly difficult due to a number of elements who use this moment for politicization.
The Corona outbreak that is sweeping the country, should have become the right momentum to continue to improve and unite . The tagline healthy life healthy earth certainly must be encouraged again. After decades of enjoying the comfort zone which is actually detrimental.
Suggestions related to Corona prevention as if it has become our food every day. Although this virus has not been settled for a long time in Indonesia , socialization to anticipate the spread of the virus is always prioritized. The effort was made so that all are able to avoid the disease.
However, absurdity occurs when this momentum is actually exploited by certain elements who politicize the outbreak of COVID-19. In fact, the world is already in such a mess, this problem must be added. Although it is fine, but how come it doesn’t have ethics. Isn’t this called taking a chance in narrowness?
Previously, the High Priest of the Istiqlal Mosque, Nazaruddin Umar, stressed that respiratory diseases caused by the new type of corona virus (Covid-19) were not a punishment from God. As the public accusations. In fact, this high priest also invited people to not politicize the corona outbreak. He added that the point he wanted to underline was that the virus was getting more and more related to policy. So, according to him, this need not be politicized.
That is, the high priest asked Muslims not to think that the spread of Covid-19 was a punishment. He expressed, in the face of Covid-19, what is needed is not only physical endurance, but also mental and mental endurance that is qualified.
It is undeniable that our country is made up of millions of people with different opinions and opinions . So the pros and cons will always be there. The problem is, when social media becomes the most deified thing. As if the contents circulating as a justification. In fact, it is not certain that the news back and forth is true. B can be a mere hoax.
Moreover, the majority of people who are millennials quite like this kind of news. He said “more crowded”. However, has it ever occurred to the plague that hit the country, then many victims. It is precisely the people who blaspheme each other. There are also memes that corner the government. Unfortunately, in the 4.0 era they were unable to make useful contributions. For example, such as spreading educative content, and also anti-hoaxes.
Public consumption with the lack of learning makes many parties seem to think this phenomenon is normal. In fact, contributions to the country and society today are needed. The challenges to overcoming COVID-19 are enormous. And not the time to play, let alone politicize this situation.
The danger of Corona becoming more and more should be a slapping thing for us to reorganize or organize ourselves. Follow all the government’s recommendations and rules to fight this global pandemic. Synergy from all parties is now needed. No, it was a high-level delusion with the politicization of this plague.
The government’s hopes are not grandiose, even with the citizens of the Indonesian people. Be more aware of the environment. Avoid apathy to egoism. After all, we are all one country brothers. What are the benefits of politicizing this Corona. Existing actually makes things more chaotic. Take the neighboring countries, for example, the solidarity of their peers to get them out of this horrific pandemic.
Enough of the chaos caused by this plague makes us realize that the meaning of tolerance can create such a powerful force. Confidence in a better day dominates. See, patient data infected with COVID-19 virus. Is not this can knock on the door of the heart to get rid of the ego within. Never mind, no need to join this join it. Just focus on dealing with outbreaks that might go wrong at any time.
Although it is not a small matter, developing an attitude of empathy for the country must be done in the current conditions. This Corona Emergency should be able to increase awareness. Not the politicization of the plague is needed, but a number of concerns. For the sake of realizing an Indonesia that is clean and free of various alarming threats. Have you done that?
