Corona Virus

Hello. I am writing to my future self just in case me and my family survive from this virus outbreak. Never in million years that I imagine myself in historical pandemic situation which impacted worldwide, economically and physically. It's not only happened in one country, but spread so vastly to one country and another, so as per today, 1,3Mio people confirmed positive having the virus, 74K people dead meanwhile only 284K people recovered. In Indonesia, the government just take this issue seriously starting on beginning of Mar, which was too late considering that Wuhan, China-- where this virus coming from already stated the outbreak from the beginning of January. No one take this seriously until people see how fast the virus moving due to globalization, where people will easily move to one country and another, reflecting how mobile people nowadays.

My sister just got married last December. She married her senior doctor in the hospital she were working at. I have close family which struggling to cure everyone who have any COVID-19 symptoms in suburb sumatera area. Which are very concerning since Indonesia's government is really slow taking actions, death toll are rising everyday yet not transparent number informed to the citizen. They smoothing the number so it looks like they taking care the situation under control, but nope. We notice and know something is fishy.

So that's why, everyone is staying at home as much as they can. I have been working from home for almost 4 weeks. Thank god that my company understand enough the situation and prevent any risk as much as they could. We were encouraged to work from home and avoid any social interactions from people outside to reduce virus spread and possibility of you being a carrier. We will stand this together until we find the vaccine-- or the cure.

But now, economics is in the bear. Red is the color for every market. Currency spikes everyday, dollar could eat you alive. It's scary.

I just really hope this could be ended soon. I cannot stand to stay inside for any longer... really missing travelling and socializing very much.

So take care and hope the best for the outcome.
