Appeals to worship, work, and learn from home as a result of the spread of Covid-19 have been used by a handful of people to go home to their hometown. The community is also expected to postpone going home to save the family from the risk of Covid-19 transmission.
It is possible that Indonesian citizens who are mostly desperate to go home have high selfishness. However, there could be other things that require them to be “forced to go home” due to economic difficulties, especially after Corona struck. But, doesn’t the government have poured out assistance for the next few months, so that citizens of the capital do not have to go home. Means that if anyone returns to this village, it is certain that they are the people who are “crazy”.
Appeals related to the prohibition not to go home this village actually refers to the potential of the Carrier that we could have clothing. We who are so healthy can trigger transmission against others who have weak immunity. So actually how dangerous is this Corona virus? To be able to kill thousands more people in almost all the world.
The virus, which developed for the first time in the Chinese city of Wuhan, redden most of the city. Because of the rapid transmission, now almost all over the world is affected. Many countries in the world say if this virus is really deadly. Even to develop the antivirus, experts, scientists and expert doctors need at least 18 months of probation.
Corona virus that causes COVID-19 infects people through droplets (saliva splashes) sufferers who may come out when sneezing or coughing. The droplet that is attached to the surface of the object and then touched is what can potentially transmit. Therefore, many governments urge to always wash their hands with soap in running water, before and after activities.
Meanwhile, the application of the use of masks is also being promoted. Because, recently discovered research related to airborne transmission or aerosols in a number of places. So, this mask is considered effective enough to prevent it. Moreover, for medical officers. Because, in the hospital there are ventilators that cause these aerosol particles to change. Because of this, medical personnel are required to wear N-95 masks. However, you can wear ordinary surgical masks if outdoors (not on duty).
No less serious, PSBB or even large-scale social restrictions were also carried out. This was done to reduce the rate of expansion of the virus so that it would not continue to spread. Because, in the capital alone, the number of COVID-19 victims is increasing. Although the number of healed and died chasing, vigilance must still be increased.
People who are unfamiliar with such things are only natural if they are still determined to go home. After all, the risk of transmission to someone dear he himself who would bear responsibility. Just imagine, if going home. Must check the health back and forth puskesmas, mandatory independent quarantine of up to 14 hearts. Not to mention the social pressure from people around who consider homecoming like a bringer of death.
Do you still want to go home so complicated? Yes, if everything will be safe. if it is infected, how? Gratitude-gratitude does not infect neighbors or relatives. If then the virus develops in the environment due to those who are not aware of the appeal, ready to be ostracized? whereas, the body of COVID-19 is recommended not to be visited, it must be wrapped in body bag plastic and various procedures according to the SOP protocol. Try to imagine if this happens?
Isn’t it better to suppress the desire to go home because my family is at home. Friendship at this time may not need to meet, gather and the like. But, we must be sure the storm will pass, after all the people of Indonesia also feel this pandemic increasingly confined themselves.
However, this is the time to be aware, the time is more concentrated that the potential to get a homecoming. Spread various good information related to this kind of appeal, so that all people are able to protect themselves also protect others. Take advantage of technology to talk to each other parse miss, use social networking to spread the fighting spirit against Corona. Do not spread hoaxes that are misleading. It’s not the time to be fooling around, let’s be alert. Support the government to forbid immigrants from returning to their villages and withhold Rindu’s desire. Wait until conditions are safe first. Come on, survive for the sake of my dear family.
