In these times where virus spread so fast and it is difficult to
know who infects who, maybe we need to treat ourselves asymptomatic. By doing
so, we will be careful, considerate and responsible in interacting with our
family, friends, and colleagues. And in that way, we will strictly wear mask,
do social distancing, keep ourselves clean and control meeting other people. Because asymptomatic person doesn’t show any
symptoms, we become complacent to interact as normal with others without knowing that actually we are
already infecting other people. If we
care about the condition of other people, just for now during this pandemic, we
will keep away from visiting our relatives, friends and neighbors that might get
infected from us. Let us be considerate
and sensitive.
Before we visit
them, it is important to consider their situation. Let’s take into consideration that we might
bring them the virus. Let us think the
financial needs they will spend for medication.
Let us have mercy on the physical pain they will endure fighting the
virus. Let us respect the effort they
exert just to protect themselves against virus. Let us also think about the welfare of other
people not just yours. Don’t be selfish
to satisfy your own interest of visiting them without considering if they want
people visit them in these days. Maybe we
might just pass them the virus.
It is still important maintaining social distance even with people
close to us like friends and colleagues because somehow social distancing separates
us from potential virus carriers. It
reduces the risks from certain contamination. Keep distance.
Remember, we don’t know who has infections, so avoid too close distance
from our peers. Be it in work or
personal matter, let us discourage face to face talk. There is zoom and telephone in works and
social media for relatives and friends. To
those of us at home who inevitably get close with our family, the most we can
do about this is to practice good hygiene.
Every time we come home from shopping, work and travel, we have to clean
our hands or better take a bath. Our hands
are one of the easiest ways for the virus to get into our body through the
mouth, nose, and eyes. When we eat,
scratch our nose or even the eyes, we can get the virus through our hands. Do not touch your face with your bare hands
when you are not sure they are clean.
Before going to bed, make sure we had shower since we returned
home. Just like with our hands, if our
hair is infected with virus, it can pass to our bedding like pillowcases, blankets
and sheets that can settle down to our face, mouth and nose. And we do not know this happening while we
are asleep until you will surprise how you got the virus. To make it sure, it is important to take
shower as soon as you came home to avoid the possible transfer of virus to your
couch, dining table, faucets, toilet, cutleries, bedroom, etc.
While interacting and taking with other people, we have to wear face mask properly. It should covers the
nose and mouth and do not touch it while in use. Notice that it is always our mouth and nose
we protect the most so wear a face mask when outdoors, when talking and when in
the middle of a crowd. It is our weapon
that shields in defense against and spreading virus. Sometimes we feel safe with our acquaintances
and we become complacent. We do not wear face mask because they are our colleagues, close friends, and relatives. Shits happen but looking at this sense of
over complacence can save our family and society.
Let us be responsible enough.
If it is not really essentials, do not go out. If we are not feeling well, do not go to work
and do not leave home. It will just cause
more disturbances instead of it would have none at all. Come to think of it: maybe just superficial
but if we will just stay at our home for at least three days in a row, this
virus that float in the air outside will eventually die down itself. If we have spent more than four months now sacrificing
our economy for that long, then why not three days?
