As of March 21, 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 has caused in Malaysia has caused 1,183 confirmed cases and 8 death cases. The Malaysian government has implemented Movement Restriction Order to control the spread of the coronavirus and the scope of people's activities. However, we could still see people eating in groups at the eateries in the morning and the elderly people exercise aerobics. Many young people from Kuala Lumpur went back to their hometowns to visit their beloved parents. If Malaysians do not take precautionary measures, we will face an emergency similar to what is happening in Italy.
The China Press reported the description of the front line doctor about the condition of COVID-19 infected patients before death. According to that doctor, COVID-19 can cause the lungs of the infected patients to lose most of their operating functions. There will be a large amount of mucus caused by the COVID-19 virus. This would cause the infected patients to lose oxygen and they would gradually suffocate. Even with an artificial respirator, the concentrated oxygen also cannot get into the blood because the end of the lung cannot be reached by the oxygen tube. In short, the condition of the patients who died of COVID-19 is similar to those who died of drowning.
Besides, the Facebook post of a foreign doctor also describes the condition of COVID-19 infected patients before death. The doctor stated that they could not realize the last wish of a dying grandmother who requested to see her family. The doctor could only make a video call to meet her last wish. The doctor also wrote that the worst thing about this pandemic is that if you can't recover, you will be alone until you die, and your family also will not be able to see you after death.
Are there any stubborn people around you who go around and do not obey the rules of the Movement Restriction Order? Let share this with them to remind them of the seriousness of COVID-19 and the condition of COVID-19 infected patients before death.
Another reminder to you is to be rational and do not believe the fake news from the internet.
