Title: Covid-19 Pandemic and Dilematic Lockdown
Ts: The Mobility and Lockdown Dilemma
Covid-19 or commonly called the corona virus since the last 2 weeks by WHO has been designated as a pandemic. Corona has attacked many countries, including Indonesia. Even positive cases and fatalities in Indonesia are increasing every day. The spread of the Corona virus in Indonesia has become a frightening specter that is increasingly adding to the public panic. Sociologically, Covid-19 can be said to be a transnational virus, as well as the dengue epidemic. Based on data circulating in the media, as of March 19, 2020 there were 369 positive cases, 17 recovered and 32 people died. This is an alarm for us to keep on alert, because the potential victims of this virus will continue to grow along with the absence of a clear policy from the Government.
Covid-19 easily spreads one of them because of the rapid frequency of human mobility. Mobility is the key to the spread of Covid-19, which is spreading rapidly throughout the world. No fewer than 84 countries are infected with the deadly virus. The spread was indiscriminate, ranging from the world political elite in various countries, football players and coaches were also infected with the deadly virus. Since its inception in Wuhan, Covid-19 has been a virus that is still unclear where it came from? The assumption is that Covid-19 is a virus from bats, snakes and other animals. Some even say they are made for certain interests. Apart from these various presumptions, we must address Covid-19 as a common problem and solutions must be sought quickly. At present, lockdown is a breakthrough made by some countries to cope with the spread of Covid-19. For example Malaysia, France, the Philippines, Argentina and other countries. But this will stop human mobility. Even though can humans in the current era not do mobility, especially casual workers? Lockdown seems to be well-suited to the upper middle class elite who are financially sufficient to meet their domestic needs. In addition, with a lockdown is a country ready for all its economic consequences? A condition that is quite a dilemma. There have been many institutions / agencies and individuals who cancel and have their program activities canceled due to the impact of this virus. In the tertiary sector, for example, many have instructed their academics to temporarily stop ceremonial activities that have been prepared in advance such as graduations, to national and international seminars. In addition, there are also several universities that instruct for teaching and learning activities (KBM) to be carried out online that can be accessed from a place of residence without face to face. This is done to reduce the frequency of interaction and human mobility in the academic space. Covid-19 is our common concern and this action is a preventive measure to reduce its spread. In this context, long before the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus, Bill Gates (2016) in a forum had warned that "our challenges in the future are no longer the problem of geopolitics and armed war, but viruses. For that reason, it is time for us to care to maximize the efforts to protect the resilience of the human body through vaccination, especially in poor countries ".
Conclusion
Covid-19 or commonly called the corona virus has been designated as a pandemic by WHO. Covid-19 spreads because of the fast frequency of human mobility. Mobility is the key to the spread of Covid-19, which is spreading rapidly throughout the world.
