Menohok! Ini Pesan Dibalik Foto Mayat Terbungkus Plastik Karya Joshua Irwandi yang Sempat Viral

Dilansir dari Worldometers, jumlah kasus infeksi COVID-19 di dunia mencapai 13.919.719 kasus, 591.633 orang meninggal dunia dan pasien sembuh sebanyak 8.264.756. Data ini diambil pada Jum'at, 17 Juli 2020 kemarin. 

Jumlah kasus dan angka kematian yang semakin meningkat, salah satunya disebabkan oleh rendahnya tingkat kesadaran masyarakat Indonesia dengan protokol kesehatan.

Prihatin dengan hal ini, fotografer handal untuk Netgeo membagikan hasil jepretannya di sosial media miliknya.

Dalam unggahan tersebut, terdapat foto jenazah covid yang di balut wrapping penuh di sekujur tubuhnya.

Dalam gambar tersebut, sangat terasa sekali bagaimana sang photographer ingin menyampaikan pesannya untuk semua masyarakat agar kita enggak lagi mengabaikan protokol kesehatan.

Disertai dengan caption bahasa inggris yang cukup panjang, @JoshIrwandi menyampaikan pesan kalau COVID-19 adalah virus berbahaya. 

Dalam foto tersebut, disebutkan juga kalau kita bersama berjuang melawan pandemi ini. Apalagi tenanga kesehatan yang berjuang di garda terdepan. 

Melalui fotonya, diharapkan netizen jadi lebih aware dan bener-bener meyakini kalo corona emang benar adanya, bukan konspirasi yang selama disebutkan.

To photograph the victims of coronavirus in Indonesia is the most heartbreaking, most eerie photography I have ever done. In my mind at the time I only thought what happened to this person may well happen to people I love, people we all love. I’ve witnessed first hand how the doctors and nurses are continuously risking their lives to save ours. They are the true heroes of this story, and the only way to appreciate their work is to follow what they advise us. We felt it was absolutely crucial that this image must be made. To understand and connect to the human impact of this devastating virus. The image is published here today as a reminder and a warning, of the ever looming danger. To inform us of the human cost of coronavirus and how world governments have let matters get so far. As we head towards the second wave of the pandemic, people must realise they cannot take this matter lightly. This photograph accompanies an article that appears in the National Geographic Magazine @natgeo in the new upcoming August 2020 issue. LINK IN BIO. It is also the first time I’d see the image in print. There are many people to thank, most notably @kayaleeberne, in which this is the first print NG story she edited; @jamesbwellford for reacting on the story from early on; @andritambunan, @kkobre, and @paullowephotography for their advice; and last but not least my mentor @geertvankesterenphoto for his unrelenting support since day one. I would like to dedicate this to the medical staff – whose selfless efforts allow us to continue to live. I am truly humbled to be in their midst countering this pandemic. And to my late Uncle Felix who, two years before he passed away earlier this year, sent me an email: ‘Keep on taking pictures and never fail to report to let the world know what has really happened.’ Please share this story and please act. This is the pandemic of our lifetime. We must win this battle.

Berikut caption Joshua Irwandi yang sudah di terjemahkan:

"Memotret para korban coronavirus di Indonesia adalah fotografi yang paling memilukan, paling menakutkan yang pernah saya lakukan. Dalam pikiran saya pada saat itu saya hanya berpikir apa yang terjadi pada orang ini mungkin terjadi pada orang yang saya cintai, orang yang kita semua cintai.
