Starting with Responding to Covid-19 Patient's Corpse Photo, Anji Accepts Challenge to Stay at Athlete's Village Without Wearing a Mask

Kapanlagi.com - Musician Anji commented on Joshua Irwandi's photo which has recently become a hot topic on social media. The photo depicts the body of a Covid-19 patient wrapped in plastic before being buried.

According to Anji, there are several oddities in the photo. One of them is because it was posted by several big accounts that he referred to as similar to the phenomenon of buzzers.

"Suddenly, this photo was simultaneously uploaded by many big accounts, with uniform captions. As someone familiar with the digital world, for me, this is very organized. It's like there's a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) and many influential accounts spreading it. The pattern is similar. Children from agencies or influencers/buzzers must understand," he wrote, as quoted from Instagram (18/07).

It doesn't stop there, Anji also explained several other points that have sparked various reactions from netizens. What are they?

1. Photographer Enters the Morgue

In addition to associating the viral photo with buzzers, Anji was also curious why the photographer was allowed to enter and take photos of the corpse. Even though, according to him, the family was completely prohibited from visiting the Covid patient.

"In cases of death (supposedly due to) cvd, even the family is not allowed to visit. But a photographer can. If you don't find this strange, it means that maybe I'm the strange one," continued Anji.

2. Not Believing in the Terrifying Covid

Furthermore, Anji also emphasized that he believes in the existence of Covid-19. However, unfortunately, he also mentioned that the disease is not as terrifying as reported.

"I believe cvd exists. But I don't believe that cvd is that terrifying. What is terrifying is the destruction of the livelihood of the common people. EDIT: I write cvd because I'm too lazy to write covid," he concluded.

3. Support Anji's Opinion

After writing his opinion on Instagram, Anji immediately received various reactions from fans to fellow artists. Some even loudly expressed their agreement with the 41-year-old man's opinion.

"Anji starts to be in a cool track! The track of truth!," writes Ifan Seventeen.

"Medical personnel must understand, the deceased should be wrapped (if indeed it is covid) in the mortuary, not in the neatly arranged and TV-equipped hospital room", writes the account @teluuur.

In response to Anji's post on Instagram, some Twitter users expressed different opinions. There were even those who clarified Anji's misunderstanding regarding photographers being allowed to enter the Covid-19 patient's mortuary based on their real-world experiences.

"If @duniamanji doesn't know, photojournalists like us are also frontline workers like healthcare workers, the difference is our task is to convey information to the public about what actually happens. We also adhere to journalistic ETHICS, especially for major publications like NG, the ethical code is very strict," writes Nyimas Laula.

The photo taken by Joshua Irwandi is a phenomenal photo. From global COVID19 coverage, there has never been a similar photo taken. This photo is simple, easy to understand, and can depict how the hospital handles COVID19-infected bodies. pic.twitter.com/AeqjAvhFq2

Responding to Anji's opinion about Joshua Irwandi's photo associated with the phenomenon of 'buzzer', it turns out that the renowned novelist also has a different opinion. According to her, as one of the accounts that participated in uploading the photo, she feels that it is important to raise awareness about the disease.

"hi @duniamanji, I am one of those who uploaded it because when I saw this powerful image, I felt it was important. It was my conscience that told me to post it," she wrote.

Is COVID as terrible as this? Yes. Try to have more conversations with doctors on duty. Also, read the article in Nat Geo to open your eyes a bit https://t.co/TWeOTnDYFm"

Not stopping there, there are also Twitter netizens who suggest Anji to interact directly with Covid-19 patients at Wisma Atlet without wearing a mask, considering Anji once expressed his opinion that Covid-19 is "not that terrible". Unexpectedly, Anji accepted the challenge on the condition that he is allowed to document his activities there.

"I am willing, Miss, to go to Wisma Atlet and do what you said. The condition is that I am allowed to make detailed documentation there. If you have connections and can arrange it, let me know. Via DM, in case it's not read. Because I'm not very active on Twitter. Thank you," Anji replied.

Why don't you come to a Covid referral hospital or Wisma Atlet and interact with Covid patients there without wearing a mask, Mas Anji believes that Covid is not that terrible, right????

7. Positive Cases in Indonesia

Meanwhile, as reported by CNN Indonesia, on Sunday (19/7) the number of positive Covid-19 cases increased by 1,639 people. So the total becomes 86,521 people. Of the total number, 45,401 people have recovered and 4,143 people have died.

Due to the increasing number of positive cases, Government Spokesperson for Covid-19 Handling, Achmad Yurianto, is asking the public to comply with the applicable health protocols. These include wearing masks, regularly washing hands, and avoiding crowds.

From Anji's opinion to the debates on social media earlier, what do KLovers think about this?
