  Safety First

  The cartoon indicates that the COVID- 19 pandemic is not just a mortality and public health crisis but also a political, economic and social crisis. The pandemic affects business and the economy that cause political and social conflict on the closure of businesses that affect employment. However, the main point of the cartoon is to promote precaution of the virus and encourage people to stay at home for the sake of their and everyone's safety as an effort to fight against Corona which has proven to be difficult. From what I've seen so far when going out in public, most people doesn't really follow the social distance rule or staying at home even though it is highly recommended countless of times on news. My aunt did not take strict safety precautions such as wearing mask and gloves even if she do not lack any of these supplies or reuse the supplies over and over again because she was afraid of wasting it. She was soon involve in a Corona case where her colleges at her workplace was contaminated so she have to get tested. My whole family and I was shock and scare upon the news because we were afraid that she would be contaminated and spread it onto her family, fortunately, it was negative. I hope that she have understand the situation better and take better precautions for the sake of her family and herself. I understand that these type of protection supplied are limited and expensive at this time, but we should always put our health and life above everything else and make sure that the supplies your using is clean and safe, even if you have to find alternative ways like using a washable mask.
