I Am An Emotional Support Human

Three years ago I walked into PetSmart, signed a form, paid fifteen bucks, and went home with a five month old male tabby cat. I got him off of death row as he was to be put down the next day, which…

CORONAVIRUS

05.06 pm on 18 April 2020, I am sitting on my bed, laptop on my thigh, it’s cloudy outside and I decide to write something in my blog randomly while listening to Disney relaxing piano on my youtube.

Saturday is a fine day to go outside either to hangouts with friends or going to the mall or other activities you would like to do! It’s a great day to have a break from 5-days work to go somewhere to have fun. Also, a wonderful day to have a date with your boyfie or crush. But, since Coronavirus hits around the world, it hinders us to make those activities happen!

WHY?

Because of government took action to prevent increased numbers in Coronavirus cases in a positive way. In my country, it’s called PSBB.

Let me tell you a story about what’s going on during the Corona Virus in Jakarta, Indonesia and around the world recently. Before jumping into the current situation in detail, I would like to explain to you a little bit about the Coronavirus itself.

Ps: I cite it from any trusted articles on the internet

What is Coronavirus?

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is infectious diseases caused by a newly discovered coronavirus — WHO.

It is caused by a member of the Coronavirus family that has never been encountered before. Like other coronaviruses, it has transferred to humans from animals. — The Guardian

A new virus called the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was identified as the cause of a disease outbreak that began in China in 2019. The disease is called Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). — Mayoclinic

When did COVID-19 first take place?

The outbreak of the virus happened on Dec. 31, The government in Wuhan, China, confirmed that health authorities were treating dozens of cases. Days later, the researches in China, identified a new virus that had infected dozens of people in Asia. It hasn’t clarified that the virus could contagious through humans — NYTimes.

The first confirmed cases outside mainland China occurred in Japan, South Korea, and Thailand. As of 20th January 2020, 282 confirmed cases of 2019-nCOV have been reported.

THE CONTAGION

As of now, researchers know that the new Coronavirus is spread through droplets released into the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The droplets generally do not travel more than a few feet, and they fall to the ground (or onto surfaces) in a few second — Hopkins Medicine

Data has shown that it spreads from person to person among those in close contact (within about 6 feet, or 2 meters). The virus spreads by respiratory droplets released when someone infected with the virus coughs, sneezes, or talks — Mayoclinic

As a result of the above study, it actually has similar symptoms with usual flu, but what makes it worse is the virus also attacks our respiratory and may cause death for some people with weakness immunes, elder, and have other diseases apart from COVID-19

THE SYMPTOMS

COVID-19 can be very mild to severe.

Some people have no symptoms. Symptoms may appear two to fourteen days after exposure. — Mayoclinic

About 1 : 6, WHO says that it could become seriously ill. The elderly and people with an underlying medical problem such as high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, chronic respiratory conditions, are at greater risk of serious illness from COVID-19 — The Guardian

Okay, that is a little bit of information about Coronavirus.

Furthermore, I would like to share a story about why does the Coronavirus effect could hinder my weekend activities and the current situation during the moment in detail.

It happened in the early week of March.

I newly came back from Japan on 29th February 2020 and started to work again on 2nd March 2020. Everything happened commonly suchlike I gave some souvenirs to my peers, finished my responsibility, ate lunch together with my co-workers, etc.

On the same day, The president announced that Coronavirus Pandemic was reported to have spread to Indonesia — when a dance instructor and her mother were infected from a Japanese National. After hearing the news about it….Paranoid? Absolutely! I wore a mask all day long to saved my friends at works because who knows if I were one of the carriers, right?

The day after, I went to my workplace as usual. But, in the middle of the day, I am warned by my boss to got back home and did self-quarantine for 2 weeks because I just returned from Japan which was one of the red-zone countries from Coronavirus. I felt strange but it’s ok and I immediately returned to my home and started doing wfh

As time goes by, Coronavirus cases increased rapidly. All media kept updating on the situation. The cases attacked more and more people around the world. Because of the cases, there are some actions that the government did to prevent the spread of the virus from certain red-zone countries such as China, Denmark, El-Salvador, France, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Poland, and Spain.

Lockdown: An emergency protocol that usually prevents people or information from leaving an area. a full lockdown usually means that people must stay where they are and may not enter or exit a building or rooms within said building.

Jakarta didn’t implement any lock-down because of some economic and other factors, I don’t exactly know why and what, but I believe it isn’t a good action to be taken.

Anyway, wfh is verybery exhausting, boring, and stressful! Because in a common day, I could directly communicate with the related person I needed, but in wfh impacted to delay response and escalated the feeling of laziness. I was so happy it only happened for 2 weeks. But suddenly, my office announced to start doing wfh on 17th March 2020 and it applied to all workers in my company. Nevermind, I must extend the wfh anyway until an unspecified time.

As I lived in Jakarta, Indonesia. I would like to share Coronavirus update in here along with the Timeline

CORONA VIRUS CASES IN INDONESIA

Until now, 18th April 2020 Coronavirus cases in Indonesia has already been increased as below:

Positive: 6,248

Heal: 631

Death: 535

THE HIGHLIGHTED TIMELINE ABOUT COVID-19 IN INDONESIA

Further detail about PSBB Regulation:

As the government action to implement PSBB in JABODETABEK, many malls and restaurants closed temporarily until unspecified times. I am doing my best, hope, and pray everything would be ok ahead in time. Yes, I feel sad, exhausting, bored, grumpy to do it all day long. I want to hang out with my friends, go to the gym, have a date with my crush, etc.

However, I must gratitude because many people got worse effects from COVID-19 specially to poor people in Indonesia, suchlike the cadger and online taxi bike got their income decreased, many UMKM bankrupt, unpaid and laid-off workers… oh my god I couldn’t hold my tears down writing about this. Hopefully everything got better very soon huhuhu.

But, in positive ways, the world is actually healed itself. Sometimes I asked myself randomly.. Is it the Corona who is a virus or us?

Last week, dolphins swimming by the port of Cagliari, which is the capital city of the Italian island of Sardinia, went viral online. The dolphin theme seems to be making quite an impact on social media users as this week, Twitter has been agog with dolphins now swimming near the coast of Mumbai.

I also see the sky clearer than usual in Jakarta, here is my picture:

However, please stay at home to protect yourself from COVID-19 ya 😊

Stay safe & sane!

THANK YOU ❤
