Don't Maintain 'It Will Heal Itsself' Habit! Because of this

News24xx.com - The notion that 'later healed himself' in an unusual body condition is often heard in the community. Make no mistake, it turns out that this assumption triggers a fairly high death rate, especially for people with the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

This review was delivered by a member of the COVID-19 Handling Task Force Expert Team, Dewi Nur Aisyah, in a discussion broadcast on the BNPB YouTube account on Wednesday (5 August 2020). Dewi mentioned the habits of the Indonesian people who just seek treatment when conditions are bad.

"We have to understand that most Indonesians usually just go for treatment when their condition is bad. Maybe when the symptoms are mild, 'Oh, it's okay, it'll get better on its own,' or, 'That's enough, we'll take the medicine from the shop.' Like that, "said Dewi in the discussion.

In fact, according to Dewi, erroneous assumptions, such as 'it's okay, it will heal itself later' can delay the handling of COVID-19 patients. When a person gets treatment late, healing becomes more difficult. The potential for death is even greater. Conversely, if a person gets medical attention when the condition is not severe, healing is easier.
