"What deadly disease?" asked Asep who did not understand, greeted smile smile residents who already know.

"There's the SarCov virus!" answer Idan explained.

"What virus is that?"

"Just like the bird flu virus in 2003, but according to the statement the virus is now a very deadly virus, because already dozens of people who died suddenly, he said, so that bamboo curtain country made the hospital impromptu."

"Wow cringe too, now what virus from Animals? if bird flu is said to be from poultry?" ask Asep.

"Say from the bat, it happened in Wuhan in the traditional market, to quickly spread throughout the country, even neighboring countries have begun to infect."

"There is a disease, after all Why are bats eaten, traded?"

"That's how if the name is human, even though our vegetables are still there, why should we eat bats?" The other members.

"Yes probably because they are tired of the usual foods, so the unusual foods they try to take advantage of. Or maybe they are sure that one day the land in this world will be used as a home, so they start looking for alternative food" said another resident, smiling.

"Look..! when the talk even digress everywhere, we return to the greatness of the country.they build the same construction provides medical equipment in just 10 days. Because of the entrepreneurs, the providers of construction equipment and medical devices, they flocked to send their products to succeed the manufacture of the hospital," cut the Idan so that the talks of the members of the vegetable kingdom are not going anywhere.

"Great yeah! Which countries have been infected?" ask one of the people.

"Hongkong, Thailand and even the United States as France has started to have cases there, even in Indonesia has raised the green zone, the report said, so that when someone comes home from abroad they must be isolated first" Idan explained.

"Emang to our country can enter as well? Is China the same Indonesia very far?"

"I don't know, may our country be safe. You see, if you get that deadly disease, all the companies will be paralyzed,"

"Most big companies will be crippled, if small companies like us. Wherever possible, let alone we are engaged in agriculture that cannot be separated from the needs of human life."

That day on February 3, the members of the vegetable basket continue to be busy with packing items that want to be brought to the supermarket.even though in fact the Supermarket wants to break the contract, the company said, but Fathan always asks and promises he will continue to do his best for the supermarket.

In the following days, news about Corona disease began to often decorate the glass screen, especially about handling the government's handling of the government whose country was infected with the deadly virus. as well as the government in our beloved country, they are very swift to welcome all possibilities, the arrival of the virus that is not invited, he said, there are even some officials who are voicing that Indonesians are immune to the Corona virus, because they often consume spices.

The government began to close the access to flights from Wuhan, not even there they are evacuating large-scale citizens who are in the country of bamboo curtains. Before returning home the residents were isolated on Natuna Island.

Of the two people, the government began to identify with people who had direct physical contact both indirectly with the two people, so the third case, fourth case and fifth case were found. on March 8, the Covid case in Indonesia had six cases.

On March 10, there were an additional 13 cases to be the total of 19 covid cases in Indonesia to 19.

In the following days, cases of coronavirus began to surge, until March 31, 2020 there were 1,528 cases, with cases of people who died amounting to 136 people, while those who recovered only 81 people. This incident breaks the myth that Indonesians are immune to Corona.

Seeing the pandemic that began as wild.on April 10, DKI Jakarta as the capital of Indonesia, began to carry out large-scale social restrictions PSBB until April 23. DKI Jakarta returned to zero where the citizens are prohibited from leaving the house from 06.00 pm to 06.00 am, public transportation both computer line trains, MRT and Transjakarta, respectively, only 50% capacity passengers can be transported, even online taxis are prohibited to transport passengers, while schools and office offices and economic economy are not too vital, working at home. so there's a tagline issued by the artists, "you're at home let us work."

Restrictions on restrictions on public facilities, worship facilities, entertainment facilities began to be followed by West Java Province, because there are several cities and districts that show a significant surge such as Depok City, West Bandung City, and many others, and other cities.the surge in deadly cases continues to surge until some cities and regions carry out social restrictions.until finally May 6, 2022 the City and Sukabumi Regency began to do the same, he said, the government began to do Lockdowns for the area.

This is all very impactful for vegetable basket farming, initially they are already fiber because often less send goods to the supermarket plus left by some members. That day was the day they last sent vegetables, seen some people who were packing their agricultural products to be sent to supermarkets and markets.

"When it feels like just yesterday we chatted about the construction of a hospital in Wuhan, now we have felt the same. From tomorrow we can not send vegetable produce, vegetable products, and now we can not, because the Supermarket has asked us to stop," Idan said in the middle of a small chat of the members.

"Ah really, you don't joke Dan! this isn't funny. Now we're having a hard time, time to add more?" Timpal One of the residents who was helping pack vegetables.

"True we have been told to stop sending vegetables, Actually today also we are not allowed to send our agricultural products to the supermarket.but I force until finally Bagas sir allows," sahut Fathan.

"Oh my God, if our vegetables are not sent.want to be accompanied by this many vegetables?" asep asked as he stared at the farmer.

"Well how else, I'm also confused, but you don't worry I'll find a solution immediately" said Fathan, rising from his seat, then he walked into the office leaving the packaging warehouse.

The farmer looked shady because even though he could say that, but his heart was still confused to think about how to get out of the pandemic that was afflicting the entire country of Indonesia. He has also witnessed how nervous the 19 covid virus is.

"If we can't send vegetables, can we not eat?" said one when Fathan was no longer seen.

"Yes...! but we don't have to worry, we have to trust Fathan, because every problem we face he always gets a way out. the proof when he was left behind by Kang Dadun and Kang parmin along with other members.we can still stand still be able to send vegetables," said Idan calming while hiding his concerns.

"Yes last week we only watched the citizens of Jakarta and other citizens, they are very concerned because they can not work, while city people like them do not have food reserves like us, And when they do not work the company does not want to lose, so they cut the salaries of their employees," said one of the members

"Keep us how?" The other timpal asked.

"We do not have to worry, Fathan aja who seeks and arranges Rp150 million more to pay us he does not look worried, already now we just work while praying that this psbb is soon to end. and the Corona's disease soon departed from our beloved land," the prayer of the sedating Idan.
