Covid19, a pandemic outbreaks started since December 2019 in China. Just when everyone thinks this is only an Asian thingy, the disease has spread all over the world especially started so bad in Spain.
On March 18, 2020, Malaysia has called for Movement Control Order (MCO) for 2 weeks. Followed by Phase 2, Phase 3 and Phase 4. A total of 56 Days that we are going to stay at home. During this whole MCO, what is the most thing everyone is doing – Cooking. Let take it as a different perspective about MCO. There are PRONS and CONS to all of us.
The PROs are:-
- Improving Cooking Skills. Everyone is trying to cook at home due to there are just too much times now. Some will start with simple dishes.
- More Time With Family. I guess most parents and children are the most happiest because never in their life can spend so much time together and do something together. This is also a good time to clean up and renew the house together.
- Time For E-Commerce. Pushing some businesses to go online instead. It is the learning part for most businesses to give it a try on selling their stuffs online via all Social Media Platforms. For Education, parents and children are learning to join classes by e-learning.
- Unity As One World. As this is a world crisis, everyone is working together to fight the disease. No race, no country, just one world. Time to see humanity among us.
- Back To BASIC. Maybe we all are just too focus on career, chasing on luxury lifestyle, after money etc. This is the time for us to be back on basic in life. Be more grounded and live a simple life. No make up. No dress up. No fancy stuffs.
- Time For Own-self. Some ‘me’ time and refocus back to our self since we all may have a busy and hectic lifestyle that we neglect our own need. Time for ourselves. Meditation may help. Netflix for some entertainment. Read to get more knowledge.
The CONs are:-
- Economy. A big impact to the economy with only essentials items allowed.
- Social Distancing. No social gatherings are allowed in this period of time. We can only through Social Media Platform or Video Calls to get to see how is everyone doing.
- Social Issue. Depression and Domestic Violence. Stay Home may sound a little bit tricky to some group of people. To some people, home is the safer place but it may not to some people. By staying home, there are just too many issues could raise up, for instance, argument.
- Indiscipline. Everyone may run out of schedule since it is at home. Sooner, will be back on schedule as this is only temporary.
- Change of way doing thing. When back to work or normal life after MCO, there is a different way of living life now. Home is where we all going to be right after work. No big dining together and travel freely just everywhere from now.
- Stay Alive Year. As Jack Ma said, year 2020 is a year to stay alive. No big dream and plan.
Today, it is the last day of MCO in Phase 4. We are all will into CMCO (Coditional Movement Control Order) tomorrow onward or a month. Life can never be the same after all.
