Bekerja Kembali di Masa Pandemi Covid-19

Setelah postingan terakhir soal di rumah saja, kira-kira 2 minggu setelah itu saya akhirnya masuk kembali bekerja dengan protokol-protokol kesehatan yang sudah diracik oleh PDGI (Persatuan Dokter Gigi Indonesia). Apa saja sih?

Dari sisi dokter dan perawatnya, semua sudah pasti menggunakan APD level 3 (double gloves, double masker, hazmat, boot cover, face shield atau goggles) yang rasanya luar biasa, deh. Hihihi. Serasa mau terbang naik space shuttle, nih.

Praktek dokter gigi semasa pandemi Covid-19.

Dan dari sisi pasien, wajib menggunakan hand sanitizer pada saat datang, diinstruksikan untuk menggunakan masker selama di klinik, kecuali pada saat perawatan (ya iya lah!), dicek suhu tubuhnya, di-screening terlebih dahulu. Kemudian ketika sudah masuk ke ruang perawatan, pasien akan diminta untuk berkumur dengan obat kumur antiseptik yang disediakan, selama 1 menit. Setelah perawatan selesai, pasien wajib mengenakan masker kembali.

Sterilisasi ruangan dengan menggunakan sinar UV-C.

Lalu dari klinik pun sudah pasti protokol sterlisasinya berstandar ganda. Maksudnya, selama ini kan pasti alat-alat akan disterilkan. Nah, selama pandemi ini, alat-alat dan ruangan disterilkan berkali-kali. Jadi alat yang dipakai, semuanya direndam di sabun khusus dalam waktu tertentu, kemudian dipacking dan disterilkan kembali di autoclave. Begitu juga dengan ruang perawatan, setelah mengganti dan mensterilkan ruangan dengan cairan khusus, ruangan perawatan juga disterilkan dengan menggunakan sinar UV-C.

Ribet kan? Hahaha oleh karena itu, pada masa pandemi, klinik juga hanya menerima maksimal 3 jam appointment dan hanya boleh ada 2 pasien yang dijadwalkan bersamaan (menggunakan 2 ruangan perawatan). Kalau biasanya dalam sehari bisa 5-6 pasien, ini paling banyak paling 3 atau 4 saja dalam sehari.

Dengan bekerja setiap hari dan bertemu pasien, saya tentu saja harus membekali diri untuk mencegah ikut terpapar bila ada pasien yang pernah terpapar Covid-19 atau pasien yang tanpa gejala apapun. Risiko kerja di bidang kesehatan memang seperti itu, jadi ya.. take it or leave it. Kalau mau dijalani, berarti harus mau melakukan hal-hal ekstra juga demi kesehatan diri sendiri.

Selain mengkonsumsi vitamin setiap hari dan berusaha tidak stres untuk menaikkan imunitas tubuh, saya juga melakukan pemeriksaan Covid-19 secara mandiri. Ini saya lakukan murni untuk diri sendiri dan pasien-pasien saya juga, bukan karena mau terbang ke mana gitu jadi harus ikut periksa-periksa.

Pemeriksaan seperti apa yang saya pilih? Pilihan saya jatuh pada langsung melakukan pemeriksaan swab pada nasofaring (hidung) dan orofaring (mulut).

Kenapa nggak tes rapid dulu? Karena menurut saya, tes rapid itu hanya buang-buang waktu. Bukan karena tidak akurat, tapi tes rapid itu sebenarnya untuk mengetahui apakah di tubuh kita ada antibodi terhadap virus SARS-CoV-2. Hasilnya pun bukan untuk mengetahui apakah kita positif atau negatif, tapi hanya mendeteksi apakah reaktif atau non-reaktif.

Intinya, pemeriksaan swab itu bisa langsung mendeteksi apakah negatif atau positif Covid-19, oleh karena itu saya memilih untuk langsung swab saja.

Melakukan pemeriksaan swab ini juga tidak mudah, selain biaya lumayan mahal, pengambilan sampelnya juga tidak enak haha. Jika bisa memilih, mendingan ambil darah deh daripada harus swab. Tapi apa boleh buat, tidak ada pilihan lain, kan?

Syukurnya untuk booking appointment pemeriksaan swab ini tidak sesulit yang dibayangkan. Saya bisa memilih untuk pemeriksaan drive thru (pemeriksaan dilakukan di mobil saja) kalau gak mau repot-repot atau parno masuk ke rumah sakit. Tinggal buka aplikasi Halodoc, cari PCR Swab Test Jakarta, lalu keluar deh daftar rumah sakit atau laboratorium yang menyediakan fasilitas pemeriksaan swab ini.

Rasanya? Jangan ditanya, tentu saja sangat aduhai hahaha. Yang pertama dilakukan pengambilan sampel di mulut dulu, tepatnya di persimpangan mulut dan tenggorokan alias orofaring. Lalu dilanjutkan dengan pengambilan sampel pada hidung (nasofaring), lubang kiri dan kanan. Nah yang gak enak itu pada saat pengambilan sampel nasofaring ini. Rasanya kayak terharu hahaha, kayak kalau lagi berenang trus kemasukan air dan kehirup. Ya gitu deh.

Pengambilan sampel swab orofaring.

Eunice juga ikutan di-swab biar aman :D

Hasilnya? Diambil 3 hari kemudian, dikirim melalui email. Bila butuh print-printannya, bisa request khusus dan diambil melalui drive thru lagi. No hassle!

Ya udah gitu saja, tetap semangat dan tetap sehat-sehat selalu ya, teman-teman. Jangan lupa jaga jarak dan pakai masker kalau keluar rumah, jangan keluar rumah kalau gak penting-penting amat. Statistik Covid-19 di Indonesia sudah makin naik angkanya, semoga semua cepat selesai dan kembali normal, dan bisa kopdar-kopdar lagi :D

#MozKopdarJKT: #FoxYeah Jakarta

To celebrate the latest Firefox update we are creating a campaign that helps fans of Firefox invite the people in their networks to download Firefox. You can find events all around the world with hashtag #FoxYeah for this occasion.

#MozKopdarJKT - #FoxYeah

In Indonesia, we did in 5 cities: Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Madura, and Sinjai. In this post, I will write about the #Foxyeah event in Jakarta. We have mozillians meetup regularly in Jakarta. Like once in two or three months, we organize #MozKopdarJKT event. And this time, #MozKopdarJKT felt so different with #FoxYeah.

#MozKopdarJKT - #FoxYeah : Registration Table

#MozKopdarJKT - #FoxYeah

For the first time, finally, we held our event at Jakarta Digital Valley, Menara Multimedia fl.6 – Kebon Sirih. Thanks to Jakarta Digital Valley (JakDiVa) and DBB Accelerator for the venue.

#MozKopdarJKT - #FoxYeah

#MozKopdarJKT started with introduction with each attendees, and I start to explain about what’s new in Firefox 38, such as Pocket Integration and Firefox Hello with tab sharing.

#MozKopdarJKT - #FoxYeah

A new integration with the popular save-it-for-later service Pocket will allow Firefox users to save articles, videos and more right from Firefox. A user can retrieve saved content by clicking on the Pocket icon in Firefox or by installing the Pocket app on their smartphone or tablet. You can access Pocket through your Firefox account.

We’ve also added tab sharing to Firefox Hello, our WebRTC based video communication platform that allows a user to converse without downloading software or creating an account. Just start a conversation, send your friend a link and ask them to click it. The addition of tab sharing provides users with the ability to share content while chatting on video.

After my presentation, Rizki Ariestiyansyah, our new Indonesian Rep, spoke about how Firefox gives you choice and control, also how Firefox gives you tools for transparency. And of course, along with the demonstration for duckduckgo, forget button, private browsing, Do Not Track, lightbeam, showing the open code and the process, etc.

Planning Workshop

Mozilla Foundation believe the Web is at its best when all users can participate and create. With that goal, the Mozilla Foundation is excited to launch two new initiatives:

  • The all-new Webmaker: a free, open source platform that is simple, fun and a key building block for understanding the Web. Emerging from beta in June.
  • Mozilla Clubs: an opportunity for makers, mentors and learners to meet regularly to learn the mechanics, culture and citizenship of the Web together.

Together, these two initiatives aim to empower people everywhere to actively shape — not just passively use — the Web.

Mozilla Foundation set out in 2015 to reinvent Webmaker as a single product that would appeal to a mass market of makers and serve as a simple entry point for learning basic Web literacy.

The All-new Webmaker App
Mozilla’s first user-generated content platform with fun at its core. Combining the participatory spirit of the Web with a focus on local community and content, we’ve built a tool that allows anyone the opportunity to elevate their skills from Web user to Webmaker.

Key features include:

  • Unique & flexible content creation
  • Easy to use & fun
  • Locale-based discovery gallery
  • Built-in sharing
  • Available in 5 languages (and growing)
  • Remixable content to inspire peer-to-peer creativity
  • Connectivity to community of fellow web makers
  • Embedded with “lego-like” learning opportunities
  • Free, open-source, and independent

Webmaker is for anyone who has a mobile device and is looking for a creative, fun and unique way to tell their create, discover and share content on the Web.

Mozilla Clubs
Mozilla Clubs are groups of learners guided by a club captain who meet regularly to learn the mechanics, culture and citizenship of the web to foster innovation and collaboration on the open Web.

15808995580_17b28a6047_z

A Mozilla Club will:

  • Teach how to read, write and participate on the web using participatory learning, rather than listening and watching.
  • Develop the digital skills and leadership of its learners while contributing to a global community of peers.
  • Empower learners through purposeful making, reflective learning, and meaningful action with and on the Web.

A Mozilla Club must:

  • Meet regularly and on an ongoing basis
  • Have at least one Club Captain who organizes the group, and guides the learning and adds the club to the map.
  • Commit to the mission of spreading Web literacy with Mozilla.

Launch in Indonesia
In order to launch the Webmaker App for Android in Indonesia, we have so many homework to make it happen. Localization, create contents, school visits, campus visits, Mozilla clubs, finding Mozilla club captains, etc.

Visit to SMK Assalaam – Kab. Bandung

Several weeks ago, we got an e-mail from one of the teacher at SMK Assalam – Kab. Bandung. In his e-mail, he wants Mozilla Indonesia come and visit his school in Kabupaten Bandung. After exchanging some e-mails and texts, finally we can decide when to visit the school, on May 30th, 2015, after Festival TIK 2015 in Bandung.

SMK Assalam is one of the vocational schools in Indonesia, with a competency expertise Lightweight Vehicle Engineering (Automotive Engineering Four-Wheeled and two), Motorcycle Engineering (Mechanical Automotive Wheels Two and Four Wheels), and Computer Engineering and Information Technology with a curriculum which refers to industry and official curriculum. The school itself is 1 hour driving from the central of Bandung City, located at Cibaduyut Raya street.

Weekly Photo Challenge : My Neighborhood

It’s a phoneography challenge from The Daily Post!

Every week Daily Post giving us photo challenge that we can post any kind of photos or pictures depends on the theme of the week. Since this week, Daily Post start to give challenge on phoneography. Phoneography means took a photo with your phone ^_^

Here’s the challenge :

To kick this off, grab your phone and head out the door. That’s right — get on your feet and go outside to explore — and document — where you live. I want to see your neighborhood: The path you take for your daily morning run. Your local coffee shop or dive bar. The nearby alley of street and community art. A shot of the intersection that perfectly captures the bustle of your own corner of town.

So?

Welcome to my neighborhood. I didn’t live in a town that full of green green grass of home. I live in a very busy city : Jakarta – Indonesia.
I also didn’t live in a house that surrounded by green park. I live in a simple apartment in the middle of the busy city.

What I like is… the morning scene from my 10th level window. Captured last year.

Sunrise from my window room

Not every morning I found this scene, since I am not a morning person :D

Jalan-jalan ke XL Xplor

Weekend yang lalu saya menyempatkan untuk berjalan-jalan ke Central Park. Ketika lagi exploring, ternyata di lantai LG ada XL XPLOR yang baru dibuka. Ya udah, saya mampir deh ke situ. Ternyata XL XPLOR ini adalah salah satu tempat dan sarana edukasi dari XL untuk para pelanggan, mengenai teknologi layanan data terbaru dalam bentuk showcase atau live yang terlengkap. Konon kabarnya, XL XPLOR ini merupakan pusat live experience pertama untuk teknologi komunikasi terbaru yang ada di Indonesia.

Ya udah, masuk deh lihat-lihat. Ih keren-keren. Di XL XPLOR ini kita tidak hanya melihat, namun juga dapat merasakan pengalaman menggunakan teknologi komunikasi dan informasi yang termutakhir. Baik itu untuk merasakan layanan data yang sudah ada, maupun bereksplorasi tentang teknologi aplikasi dan ponsel canggih yang akan datang dan belum beredar di pasaran.

Boleh nyobain macam-macam di XL Xplor ini
