In this fifth day of practicing social distancing as commanded by the government, Cianjurans people seem not to be affected by the outbreak of Covid-19. People are asked to do working from home, yet only a few people who obey that. Many people who must wake up every morning and earn money during the day, the isolation for 14 days issued by government does not influenced these kind of people. They should leave the house every morning or their family's members suffer and go without food.
People who have job as civil servants such as teachers can stay at home and do online teaching. The outbreak do not influence their salary. Until now, the government does not say anything for people who must earn money day to day.
Because of the conditions above, social distancing does not work. Another factors that cause social distancing cannot be implemented is the personal consciousness to care herself and others. As the effect of Covid-19 is slow and the local government does not share the real numbers of people who had affected by this virus, people think that the condition is not as horrifying as the news said. The local government keep saying and assuring that only one person died by Covid-19. Others die because of different causes, one of them is dengue fever as now is rainy season.
The shop, the mall, the restaurant and many other public place like garden, Puncak area, are open as usual. Students are suggested to study at home. However, many students wander around in public area, doing picnic. Or worse, many civil servants make a trip abroad. PDAM chief and his wife also his colleagues go to Europe. This raise criticism from all walk of life. It's inappropriate for the administrators to just have holiday during isolation time.
