Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic that attacked the country of origin of China turned out to have also reached Indonesia, where on Monday, March 2, 2020, at that time President Jokowi announced that there were two confirmed cases of the coronavirus, with the first case in the DKI Jakarta area. Which then quickly infects many Indonesian people even to remote corners of this beloved country of Indonesia. It is not an easy thing to solve this pandemic problem when technology is very sophisticated where humans can move quickly from one place to another without obstacles, this is also the cause of this epidemic spreading even more quickly to remote areas of our country in Papua. The state has tried its best to deal with this pandemic, such as through the PSBB, PPKM, then the Emergency PPKM which was recently implemented to suppress the increasingly extraordinary cases of covid 19. Indeed, public health must be considered and handled appropriately and carefully, but don’t forget that after all, Indonesia is one of the developing countries among many other developing countries which cannot pay attention to the health side without paying attention to the economic sector which is the life support for all human beings, if indeed lock action down is implemented in Indonesia, don’t you think about how the life of the majority of people who are below standard life. The Indonesian state is truly on the verge of collapse, but all have forgotten the basis of the birth of the Indonesian state, namely Pancasila, we forget the principle “United we stand, divided we fall” and we also forget the principle of “deliberation for consensus” forgetting the principle of “our cooperation” where all Indonesian identities are famous for helping each other together.
