Who would have thought that the start of 2020 of\nwhich the new beginning was supposed to be the moment to correct the wrongs and\nthe mistakes from the previous year, to tailor many more dreams as the steps to\na more progressive living but turns out to be the catastrophe that befell us,\nthe global citizens. For the majority of people, the new year is often regarded\nas the symbol of a new resolve to take action. But in this context, the image\nhas been shattered as this New Year is accompanied by an unprecedented and\nterrifying outbreak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of diseases that have brought\nterror to us far before the corona epidemic strikes. To explain the problem, I\nquoted from the page of Minanews.net, it is stated that in the past two\ndecades, there were several viruses that have infected and even reduced the\nhuman population. Some of the viruses are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SARS Virus (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SARS was first discovered in Guangdong, China in\nNovember 2002. The virus was soon becoming rampant and led to widespread to 26\ncountries only in a matter of a year. Approximately 800 people worldwide have\ndied after being infected with this virus. The origin of this virus is known to\nhave come from a bat, it was then spread to other animals such as cats then\ninfect humans through respiration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MERS Virus (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emergence of this virus could be dated back\nto the year of 2012 in Saudi Arabia. Not long after the discovery, the virus\nwas becoming a phenomenon in 26 countries. The death toll of this virus is\nreported to be 858 out of 2494 cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In late 2019, our world is greeted back with the\ndiscovery of a frightening virus, the coronavirus, that was originated in the\nsame birthplace as SARS virus, China. According to the description from\nWikipedia.org, corona derived from the Latin word \u201ccorona\u201d that bears the\nmeaning \u201ccrown\u201d or \u201cflower arrangements. The naming itself is based on the\nstructure of the structure which has a big projection at the outer edge that\nresembles the crown appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumparannews.com made a publication of one\narticle, and it is stated there that the genesis of this virus could be traced\non the way back to Hubei in China. The virus infected a 55 years old man and\nlater on wide-spread to other regions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The virus made its way to Indonesia and its\nexistence was first confirmed by the President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo on\nMarch 2nd, 2020. A mother and her child made the first two positive cases in\nIndonesia. They got infected after coming in contact with Japanese citizen.\nThroughout last March, Kompas.com created the report that titled \u201cRecap of the\nCorona Cases in March and the April Forecast”, the report details the\nnumber of cases since the first confirmed case until the end of March is mounted to be 1528 cases with 136 people died and 81 people\nrecovered from the virus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The indiscriminate targeting that has also become\nthe characteristic of the corona has guaranteed this virus a seat in the\nspotlight, and soon after it has embedded in every public conversation\nthroughout the world. According to the report of Corona positive cases from the\naffected countries, the pace of which the virus spread is rapid. It was also\nnoted that Corona requires only 24 hours to breed a significant number of cases.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common symptoms in the COVID-19 case\nare fever, fatigue, dry coughing, nasal congestion, cold, sore throat, and diarrhea.\nThese symptoms are distinguished as mild and they appear gradually. But, there\nare also cases of the infected people are not even showing symptoms. Elderly\npersons and the people having past illnesses are considered to be more\nsusceptible to COVID-19. People could also catch the virus from others through\nthe tiny droplets from sneezing and coughing. When these tiny droplets landed\non something and later that thing coming in contact with people, then\nunbeknownst to the people, they would start touching their facial areas which\nlead to them becoming more vulnerable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, we need not worry as the risks and the\nspread of the virus could be leveled down by following the measures below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.         Use\nsoap or alcohol-based antiseptic liquid to wash hands with the running water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.         Maintain\na distance of 1.5 to 2 meters while in the crowd to avoid having in contact\nwith someone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.         Avoid\ntouching facial areas (eyes, nose, and mouth) as those could possibly be the\nentry point of the virus after someone coming in contact with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.         Coughing\nor sneezing into tissue or bent-elbows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.         To\nprevent the risk of getting infected, stay at home as much as possible if there\nis no urgency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.         Avoid\ntraveling far or to the affected spots of COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.         If\nthe symptoms such as fever, coughing, or having a short of breath are showing,\nsee the doctor immediately.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.         The\nutmost important is to pray to Allah SWT for our safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite bringing sorrows alongside us, the\noutbreak has a silver lining riding along with it. We should be aware of the\nfact that Allah is not testing or bringing catastrophe to its servants, but\nrather there are wisdoms behind the act. We should also be more conscious that\nhuman is only a little living being and a helpless creature before God. Therefore,\nwe should always ask to Allah for our safety. Moreover, I am hoping that this\nphenomenon could help us contemplating the human-made mistakes that are\npossibly harmful to the earth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
