COVID-19

Today is March 26th.
It has been a whole week plus one day of #RMO of Malaysia.
It is a well known fact that there's this virus, namely COVID-19 has struck the whole world, hitting China and Italy badly.


When it first struck Wuhan in December 2019, little that we think it will spread like bushfire.
Now it's declared PANDEMIC by WHO.

Many countries have been in either lockdown or restricted movement order, RMO for short.
Our latest PM, Muhyiddin Yassin has just announced yesterday the extend the duration of RMO until April 14th.

I was down with mixed feeling since the RMO started.
I can't go back to my parents house.
And I still have to work, with high risk of getting infected with the amount of people we're treating everyday.

In a positive note, there a lot of attention given to healthcare workers (HCW) and sometimes we get some NGOs giving us free food and stuff for our hospital. People now can see how important is healthcare and also how simple things can compromise your life.

I kept quiet in my social media regarding some issues that I think people need to reserve their comments;

1) How the virus started in Wuhan, China - it had already happened, and they manage to curb it (no new cases in 3 days!)
2) How the virus spread from ijtima' Tabligh in Sri Petaling - again, it already happened, I have mixed feelings about this - but never angry.

It was a blessing in disguise, like my colleague said, because they are easily recognised. If you may think what had happened if the virus spread from a pop concert? You will have a hard time tracing them.

I was also sad, because these people are religious people, they are usually old and knowledgeable. I hope we still have religious people in this country rather than a whole lot of netizen and ticktockers.
I remember reading that this is a sign of the Day of Judgement is near - when you cannot find religious people anymore.

Me and my HOs after finished our op late last night.
I think I have to stop here. There's too many things in my mind right now.
