Hi all friends!!!
On this occasion I would like to write about how people survive amid this lockdown. Talking about a sudden lockdown is no longer a strange thing for all of us, especially in Aceh. Because due to the sudden covid 19, most of the people are very complaining, especially economic problems and being stopped from work or at home.
And a number of countries at that time took many lockdown steps to prevent the spread of Covid 19. As the number of Covid-19 patients and those who have died has increased, the Indonesian government has received pressure from some people to follow directly the steps of other countries, namely lockdown.
Even our government prohibits its citizens from going abroad, if there is business it is better to postpone the appeal first. The same rules also apply to anyone who comes. Those coming from affected countries such as China and others are not allowed to enter.
However, with a sudden lockdown like this, it is very difficult for people to earn food money, and they even make money only from the garden. During the lockdown, according to the people of Aceh, no one got sick with this covid disease and I personally, thank God, am very healthy, we don't even have such a thing as keeping a distance of 1 meter to avoid this covid, but we still do our prayers and hang out together as usual.
The way to avoid poverty during the lockdown is by planting vegetables, chilies and other equipment. Because by making a way like that, it will make it easier to survive during this lockdown. And during the lockdown we were also assisted by the government by being given money every 2 months.
With the help of the government, our burden has been lightened a little, but with money like that, I think it's better for us to turn the money around by opening small businesses, such as opening a kiosk to grow vegetables, as I said earlier, the point is we are trying to survive. .
And thank God the lockdown in Aceh was not too long because the people of Aceh were quite stubborn and not afraid of the Covid disaster, even when the general came to Aceh he saw the people here and shook his head because the people did not obey the rules at that time hahaha.
I especially blame the government for being slow to respond and the bans, travel and quarantine should have been done sooner, they let the problem in and now it's a pandemic. And thank God, after the pandemic is over, people have started to actively work and their activities as usual again and the most difficult right to find now is a job.
Until now, Indonesia itself wants to do a lockdown again because someone has contracted Covid, whether that's right or wrong. Hopefully this lockdown will not be applied again to the community because the economy is really very troublesome for the people. And the government has also ordered us to stay at home during this pandemic. However, the policy actually boomeranged.
Maybe that's all for this post, see you in my next post.
