Our Thoughts on Covid-19.

I'm going to write this in English because it's a hard post and also i want this post could be read by many people.

Honestly, right now i'm in a denial state of mind because i am that scared. I'm not scared because this virus is deadly, its death rate as am i'm posting this right now is only3,6% as stated in Kompas but what scares me the most is the message behind it. Particularly in our country Indonesia the date rate come up as high as 9,3% i don't know what's wrong here but maybe these list are the causes:

1. People are not staying at home, some are still going out of town and doing to the coffee shop to hang out.

2. Some people are working, i don't know what kind of evil bosses they have but let me tell you that you rather stay home and losing your job is your boss right now still demand you to go to work. Don't challenge this virus.

3. Maybe the health system is lacking here. i don't know for sure but that could be a major cause here.

We got to think that this virus surfacing must be linking to the fact that our Earth is collapsing. I think this is how Earth try to tell each one of us what's really going on in a very personal way. Because by telling us through this virus it will affects everybody, this virus doesn’t care about religion, gender, ethnicity or anything.

BBC.com have an article with a title “There are diseases hidden in ice, and they are waking up” that posted on May 4th, 2017 and if you read it now, you will have goosebumps.

"We may be about to find out. Climate change is melting permafrost soils that have been frozen for thousands of years, and as the soils melt they are releasing ancient viruses and bacteria that, having lain dormant, are springing back to life. In August 2016, in a remote corner of Siberian tundra called the Yamal Peninsula in the Arctic Circle, a 12 year-old boy died and at least twenty people were hospitalised after being infected by anthrax. The theory is that, over 75 years ago, a reindeer infected with anthrax died and its frozen carcass became trapped under a layer of frozen soil, known as permafrost. There it stayed until a heatwave in the summer of 2016, when the permafrost thawed. This exposed the reindeer corpse and released infectious anthrax into nearby water and soil, and then into the food supply. More than 2,000 reindeer grazing nearby became infected, which then led to the small number of human cases. The fear is that this will not be an isolated case."

So, yes, this Covid-19 virus could be come from that kind of way even though there's a huge chance that this virus could come from the ocean that is now polluted by plastic waste or the pollution we are producing everyday from driving our car or the forest fire that happens in many part of the Planet or it just simply because lately we have been living unhealthy lifestyle that not only it is ruining the Earth but also bringing new diseases.

What we've been thinking lately is how about this is just Earth trying to tell us what's really going on that Earth is actually dying and we human should be doing something. It affects everything.

Our Lifestyle.

Because of this Covid-19 pandemic we are forced to stay home even though usually we could spend hours and hours outside, driving our car that will polluting the Earth, going to the Malls that are taking up another space for trees to grow, eating unhealthy food like fast-food that use beef from unethical farm somewhere, buying things that we don't need and making more and more consumption that is responsible on how the Earth is badly polluted now.

Our Diet.

We should be eating healthy food during this Covid-19 Pandemic, no. We should be eating healthy everyday no matter what, we should take care of ourself so we can take care of others and the Earth.

Our Economic.

Now that we stay home and making less consumption we are saving more money, some people even changed the way they are budgeting and become more mindful about what they are spending because they want to save as much money as they could for as long as they could until this pandemic stop, or some other people are not getting as much as they needed because they are working in the fields they have to go out and not stay home, their job requires that. But, one thing we are sure and we think that the Goverment should be thinking about this is the fact that some job really do need higher wage because look at doctors and nurses now? they are working in the front line, how about those couriers they have become a huge help for us during this Pandemic, without them who will help us bring our supplies or food when we couldn't cook our own, or those cleaning services all around the now still open stores they have been working in a very risky job right now in this Pandemic.

Our Social Life.

We now know that some work, some meetings, some hang outs can be done using VideoCall or Chats after all this time. I'm not saying that meeting in person is a bad thing but let's be mindful about it in the future so you don't polluting the Earth with your car and you don't make unnecessary consumption along the way and most importantly you now have more time with the people who actually worth it like your family, instead of staying at work late you can finish up your work at home while playing with your 20 months old toddler.

We hope that all these things all these routine we are doing right now during this Covid-19 pandemic will last, that in the future people will be living a more healthy lifestyle that will go along in harmony with how Earth supposed to work. Because now we are faced in the option of only two, change your behavior and Earth might be well again or keeping your behavior and Earth will actually collapsed. Earth have spoken to us in a very understandable manner in a language that we understand of how Earth have been doing lately, how we human are so arrogant and egoistic and destructive, let's respond Earth in a language that Earth will understand.

We hope that this pandemic will end soon, and people who are infected will be well again as soon as possible.
