Who would have thought that the Covid-19 pandemic would spread its power to terrify the world to this day (more than 3 years). Do you still remember, when in early March 2020, the first case of Covid-19 was found in Indonesia? A year later, the variant called ‘delta’ became the pinnacle of our fears because it claimed many lives in Indonesia and around the world. There are many of our friends, best friends, colleagues and family members leaving for good. Even for just mourning, we can’t afford it.

In this condition of all-limited access, uncertainty over global economic growth has become a concern that has also engulfed the whole world, including developed countries whose economic growth has stagnated. Many predict the world will be on the verge of a deep global recession. Relying on high vigilance alone is not enough to mitigate these risks. The leaders of the world must make real breakthroughs, unite their strengths and spirit to work together at the regional and international levels in dealing with a pandemic and the threat of an economic recession.

Even so, “THERE IS ALWAYS A HOPE”, there is always hope! After the rain stops, there is usually a rainbow. Likewise human life around the world because it will enter a new phase, namely ‘endemic’ where we live side by side with Covid-19, get used to masks and get used to online meetings as an alternative for the efficiency and effectiveness of human activities.
