With the Corona Virus continuing to plague up to many victims, it is certainly a global public health emergency. It is necessary to realize an optimistic thinking to raise awareness of each level of society in the fight against Covid-19 must be built. Especially to immediately break the chain of transmission in our beloved country by not going home to my hometown for a while.
If we love them, the family or relatives who are at home, of course we must have the awareness to be a hero for them by not going home in the midst of this Corona Virus pandemic outbreak. It is not merely because we do not care for those at home, but this is a form of our love for them.
Fighting against Corona Virus by protecting the people we care about at home starts with a thought on how to develop a sense of solidarity, awareness and active participation in fighting Covid-19.
Optimism Against Covid-19 by Learning from Mistakes
We must learn from mistakes and carelessness that can be fatal. How do we see in the country of Italy that we know as a developed country today like living in a war country. Raging with a virus that continues to spread and take thousands of victims. In the midst of a worsening situation they have been instructed to immediately stop mass activities such as gathering at a party banquet. Likewise instructions for not going home in a situation where the spread of the plague was still small in Italy at that time.
Awareness not to go home
Indeed, every time a person does not meet with family and relatives, because they migrate like work, study and other activities that require them to live in people’s areas, of course it has become a necessity for going home. It also can treat longing for separation due to distance. The desire to gather together with the whole family that is loved is something normal for the nomads.
But let’s think carefully. Worship hard and be sincere to see the situation and conditions that are currently so deteriorating in the middle of the chain of transmission of the Corona Virus that is increasingly widespread. This is clearly a consideration that we must grow.
If we go home and it turns out we are positive Corona or even when we travel and are infected by the virus. Then we meet with family and do the habits of the nomads usually like; greetings and other activities that we do with physical contact with family. Then the virus that we carry will spread to the whole family. Undoubtedly all in the family that we care about will be infected with the virus.
Medically, the corona virus or Covid-19 is very susceptible to death for those who are elderly. Of course this Covid-19 transmission chain will continue to be continued from the first physical contact and to the next physical contact. However, to prevent this we can do some good habits, such as frequent hand washing, keeping a distance (physical contact) and staying at home.
That’s why we have to fight Covid-19 since in mind. Optimistic thinking in fighting the virus by protecting the people we care about at home from being infected. With full awareness to not going home in the midst of this plague that is still raging. Let us be heroes to protect ourselves and save our family, neighbors and all our relatives who are at home. In order to avoid covid-19, it is time to develop resistance from the mind with #mudic.
