COVID 19 notes

So far, COVID-19 is found not airborne. But, it is aerosol. It means it can attach itself on small particles on air. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.09.20033217v1.full.pdf It seems the only solution for this virus spread is to not touch your face. You don't know what your hands been touching. COVID-19 may survived on surfaces in varied time. Far more than that, we are suggested to create social distancing. Avoid the masses! This is important as there are people that still ignorance about the danger. Like that one church in South Korea, religious people may have the best ignorance and hoax eater . Indonesia may have the wise decision. Backed by major religious organisations, we put all of the masses on-hold. This Friday the mosques are empty.

It usually never flood. This year, however, we have several flood incidents. Which is weird! We usually have 5 years cycle of great flood. Once every 5 years there would be a big flood. What makes this year special is we got great flood more than once. Usually, we got a big flood once and that's it. Now, however, every heavy rain guarantee flood will happen. The biggest hit were on Bekasi, Jakarta's neighbor. My friend got his car flooded up to the roof. His neighbors also got the same. They were unprepared.  Their area never have flood before. It seems something change. There were constructions everywhere. This makes some water flows stopped. The epic thing is there are cases of elite housing made their neighbors getting flooded. It seems the developer didn't build the necessar...
