2020 is coming to an end. It has been a difficult year with the biggest humanitarian crisis in modern history.

In just about a year, the coronavirus has killed 1.5 million people. In Indonesia alone, the number has reached a total of 18,000 people. As an illustration, according to Johns Hopkins University, the United States (US), the number of the people who have died from Covid-19 is 280,000 people higher than the number of the US soldiers and people killed (combined) in fighting during the last five wars: Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf.
