The July 26 Kompas editorial entitled “Daya Lenting Bangsa Indonesia Diuji [the resilience of the Indonesian nation is tested]” discussed the death rate resulting from COVID-19 with the hope that the declining number of deaths to 1,266 people on July 25 was a signal that the fatality curve was going down further.
However, the data on the following days showed a reversal. On July, 1,487 people died, and on July 27, deaths exceeded the "psychological limit" of 2,000, to be exact, 2,069 of our fellow citizens died of the disease in a day.
