When people have started to get used to the situation when the virus began to subside, now life is like returning to the beginning of the entry and spread of the corona virus in 2019. panic began to occur in the alley of the village where I live, because many members of the community were infected with the entry of the variant. new omicron.

The existence of villages which are actually safer from virus attacks compared to those in cities is now only a memory, because in the past when the virus first entered our country, our villages were still quite safe because the spread was very less and only counted on fingers for infected cases. but not positive but still symptomatic.

Now everything has changed since the case of the new variant of omicron began to be discussed by the health department, many people think that this will not enter rural areas like the initial incident when covid 19 appeared at first. like being struck by lightning, life in the village today has changed, many people just stay at home because there have been many positive cases suffered by neighbors and relatives.

The virus has returned in a different way that's the word that comes out of my mouth, actually life in my village is different from where I work in the city because the office where I work is in an urban area that is vulnerable to the spread of the virus, but apparently Omicron is like a savage lion looking for prey without seeing from a distance and lack of population.

Now our village area has entered the dangerous zone or red zone in terms of the spread of the virus for the covid 19 security unit, it is very ironic what happened but this is the reality that must be faced that the problems and struggles of life are in sight.

If you look at the statistics that happened last year when covid 19 first entered, in villages and in cities it was very much different for the level of positive cases, this is the paradigm of many people in the village that the new variant of Omicron will not reach the village.

Actually there are several factors that make villages safer and far from spreading the virus, when the government issues regulations simultaneously to lock down or people cannot leave the area and carry out activities at home, the village becomes a safer place due to several factors including the following;

• People in the village have more food supplies because the source is from agriculture.

• Can still be active and work in the fields or gardens in the area or still around the village territory.

• Abundant kitchen resources, water, corn, rice, tomatoes and so on as basic sources for survival.

• Lack of community members who work outside the area or city (like me), and mostly work in agriculture.

Those are some of the factors that provided security for residents in the village when the virus first entered in 2019 and government regulations for lockdown. but now that has changed and the return of this virus is like a "third world war". The silence in the alleys of the village road that used to be crossed by many children playing and the activities of farmers doing activities in the garden has disappeared into the earth.

The spread of COVID-19 cases until February 2022 according to data released by the WHO (World Health Organization)

SOURCE

• Number Of Infected : 418,650,474

• Death Rate : 5,856.224

(I only draw conclusions from temporary data released by WHO because this data changes from time to time, until today on February 18, 2022).

From this picture that the spread of the virus continues to grow and many people are trapped in it. Vaccination is still being carried out to prevent wider spread.

Early Symptoms Suffered (Omicron)

Often people take the symptoms of the illness lightly, but now every disease often scares people because of the pandemic period that often associates disease with this dangerous virus. because omicron is a new variant then we must know the initial symptoms that will be experienced.

According to the source of Omicron Early Symptoms there are 5 symptoms that arise such as;

1. Cold

2. Headaches

3. Fatigue (mild or severe)

4. Sneezes

5. Sore Throat

These five symptoms were suggested by Claire Steves, a scientist from the ZOE COVID Study and Reader at King's College London.

Based on this data, we as people who always carry out life activities and activities must always maintain body and health conditions, the main thing is the implementation of health protocols. Don't underestimate all existing diseases, it could be an early symptom of Omicron.

Never stop protecting yourself and protecting others, health is in the hands of each of us, healthy life will share the family, what's the use of having abundant wealth when we are sick. stay alert because new variants of omicron continue to lurk, nowadays it's like the third world war.
