A visual guide to Coronavirus
A visual guide to Coronavirus
In
this platform I am going to explain the detail and everything I feel about this
pandemic, I think I don’t have to define what is Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Everybody already know about this pandemic. This pandemic already become
something really worries us. I really worry about this. I already at home for
more than 1 week. I quarantine myself to avoid this pandemic. There is a thing
that make me disappointed. It is about the awareness of our people to this
pandemic. I really annoyed with people who still outside for something that not
urgent, like hangout, go to a place for holiday. I hate them. I don’t really
care if this virus can’t spread to other people easily via droplets. I hate
them because there are some of them that say that is their life, so it is not
our business to make sure they are at home or not. It is just because this
virus spread easily and can make everybody “got” this virus. They are not aware
about that. If our people still not aware until this stage, I bravely say that
we will be the second Italy. Italian almost same with our people if I read on
any source I search. Their government already told them to stay at home, but
what? There are 10 thousands of people that “going home” after the statement
from their government. Then? Look at them now, 74 thousands cases there. There
are more than 470,000 confirmed cases worldwide. Southern Europe is now at the
epicentre of the crisis and the US is also facing a surge in cases. The
coronavirus outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the WHO on 11 March.
This is when an infectious disease is passing easily from person to person in
many parts of the world at the same time.
The
WHO said it took more than three months to reach the first 100,000 confirmed
cases worldwide, but only 12 days to reach the next 100,000 and only four days
to reach 300,000. More than 80,000 people in China were diagnosed with the
infection after its emergence in the city of Wuhan, Hubei province, in
December. But after the recent turnaround, more than three months later, it is
planning to partially lift the lockdown in Wuhan on 8 April. Other countries
around the world are ramping up measures to try to slow the virus down.
Governments have halted flights, locked down towns and cities and urged people
to stay at home. Italy currently has the most confirmed cases outside China,
where the virus originated. It has around 7,000 fewer
confirmed cases than China, but its death toll of 7,503 is more than double the
official toll in China. On Wednesday, a further
650 deaths were reported.
The
majority of Italy's deaths have occurred in the northern Lombardy region, which
contains the city of Milan. Hospitals there are reportedly at breaking point
and retired doctors and nurses have been asked to return to work. Italian authorities have imposed stringent
restrictions, closing nearly all shops, bars, hairdressers, restaurants and
cafes. The lockdown, imposed on 12 March, has now been
extended beyond the original 25 March end date.
The most important thing that we must really aware as
Indonesian now is the one and only ISOLATE yourself at home. Just that. Then you
should aware too about the cleanliness of ourself.
