The world is currently shaking because of this pandemic, Corona Virus. In Indonesia alone, there are about 2 thousand and two hundred seventy-three people who got infected by the coronavirus. People are worried about whether they can fulfill their everyday needs because of this coronavirus.
Actually, this is not the first coronavirus outbreak. In 2002 and 2012 there are similar pandemics called SARS-CoV (2002) and MERS-CoV (2012). These pandemics have a higher fatality rate, but COVID-19 has only a 4% fatality rate.
The first corona case was on the 17th of November 2019 and the case keeps increasing each day until it reaches 1 million two hundred and seventy-three thousand seven hundred and nine cases. There are currently sixty-nine thousand four hundred and fifty-six deaths and it keeps increasing. But the good news is that the people recovered from this pandemic is a lot more than the people who died. The number of people recovered reaches two hundred and sixty-two thousand four hundred and eighty-six.
There are several ways for us to stop spreading this virus. First, we can wash our hands regularly for 20 seconds, with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub. Second, you can cover your nose and mouth with a disposable tissue or flexed elbow when you sneeze or cough. Third, you can avoid close contact with people who are unwell. And last but not at least, we need to stay home and self-isolate from others. If you feel a little bit unwell, you'll need to immediately contact the nearest hospital that takes coronavirus cases.
There are some symptoms that the COVID-19 shows. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. But, some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea. These symptoms usually begin gradually. However, there are some people who got infected but shows no symptoms and don't feel unwell. About 8o present of people who got infected recover from the disease without needing any special treatment. There are only around 1 out of 6 people who get infected become seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness. People with fever, cough and difficulty breathing should seek medical attention.
The cases of coronavirus keep increasing and people are getting worried. The President of Indonesia has done the best that he could.
Actually, this pandemic can be handle better than it is now, but the citizens of Indonesia are stubborn. People should listen to what the president of Indonesia is saying. We need to follow the instructions.
If I were a President of Indonesia, I would do what the current Presiden of Indonesia does. In my opinion, he already did the best for the citizens of Indonesia.
Now, my question is, what if you were a President of Indonesia, what would you do? Will you do the same? Or will you do something different?
