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.
