It’s no joke about this pandemic Covid19 that has been going on since March2020. Many have been affected, be it physically, financially, emotionally, mentally etc. Instead of complaining about the world, the government, their efficiency or whatsoever, better we start to live with this. This will be our new normal. We just have to live with the virus in our society now. Keeping social distance and complying to the SOP, having sanitizers in our bags become part of our lives now. So, what’s next?
What inspires me to write is from a conversation with one of my client this morning. Two weeks ago she was diagnosed with lung cancer stage 4. On the phone, she didn’t ‘sound’ sad. She told me she is ok and thanked me for checking her in. She said her oncologist told her that her cancer is curable, telling me not to worry about her. Positive mindset, for once positive is a good thing; unlike the Covid positive. She also told me that she and all of her colleagues have been working from home since God knows when. And one of her colleagues passed away last week because of Covid. Don’t know where he contacted the virus. She also said, nowadays either we die of Covid, or cancer or stress. Did you see the news about the commit suicide cases recently?, she asked. Sigh, it’s sadden me and I become speechless didn’t know how to comfort her in this odd moment.
Some of us may have heard, ah who ah who died of Covid. Yes, me too. My friend’s friend was admitted to ICU due to Delta variant, 2days bye bye. Another friend’s father-in-law died of Covid, couldn’t visit or do any prayers ceremony, only can mourn at home. Sad. A friend’s mom died of Covid, was told the news later after the memorial service, kelam kabut, satu kampung family members have to quarantine. Ok, enough of died died stories.
Another reason I write is to create awareness of the importance of insurance coverage. Have a look on your own policies. Sorry, not a look. A clear and emphasized look please. Does that include any waiver of premium? My client who was diagnosed lung cancer, does not have to pay anymore premium from now on, for the next 55years. Another client had heart disease, his children policies are waived for the next 44years. Ya, you think you have a lot of insurance policies. Think properly again, you have alot or you pay alot ; or you have alot and pay alot? How much alot is alot and enough? Ask your partner, “if I die, this amount enough or not.” Silent. Have a good eye contact. Don’t forget to breathe. I’m not trying to judge or curse or bad mouthed. Prepare before it rains. If well prepared, it’s awesome, make sure all are well documented.
Before I end, jom kita duduk diam-diam di rumah. Hari-hari beribu-ribu cases. Entah sampai bila. Don’t put the blame to who or who, we are not in that position. But I know it’s all start from one person. Me. #stayathome #sendirijagasendiridulu #rakyatjagarakyat
