"WORDS OF NOTICE: Please keep yourselves safe at all costs. Refer to your official announcements, documents and instructions on how to prevent and prepare yourselves from this ongoing pandemic. It may sound worrying and depressing but we are all holding our hopes of getting safely through this together.

So here we are again. After I posted the other artwork over a month ago about this same outbreak, the situation has spiraled down even further than anyone has expected. With (at the time of writing) over 1 million confirmed cases and 53 thousands casualties, everyone is super worried and paranoid about the future ahead when there has been no confirmed vaccines and the numbers are rising by the minute.

I'm still considered lucky when living here in my country. As of now, my country is praised as one of the best countries out there in the world with (again, at the time of writing) only nearly 240 confirmed cases, over 80 of which are reported as completely cured, and zero casualty. Thanks to the early preparation and the involvement of the government in isolating the cases as soon as possible, the damage from the disease is much lower compared to many other countries. We really did a lot: isolating single cases, isolating towns and/or buildings with suspecting cases, hell we are now in the so-called "social isolation" state where even stepping out into the streets are put as minimal as possible.

On the other hand, countries known with decent and good medical system are facing huge problems as the number of both confirmed cases and casualties are slowly rising. Medical supplies are lacking, professionals are tiring out while the disease is happily spreading with seemingly no end at the time. I'm surprised that even though our country is much less advanced in medical territory, with proper preparations we made through while some countries I know to have good medical system are seen failing every passing day.

Anyways, let's stop being this depressed. I'm still holding the hope that we will soon discover everything we need to combat the pandemic. If we all work together we are sure to get through this. Remember to follow all the official stuffs that the government give out on the current situation. This will definitely help you, help others and even help you help others."
