Residents Remembered Thaun and the Spanish Flu

Surabaya –

Viral a tease on the twitter account @Antonius061 about ‘Mati Corona Ala Madura‘. The tweet contained writings from Firman Syah Ali who told that Pamekasan’s condition looked normal in PPKM level 3 status, even though the COVID-19 pandemic was surging at the moment.

“It is true that I wrote, when I was isoman some time ago in Pamekasan,” said Firman Syah Ali to detikcom, Sunday (1/8/2021).

Firman explained that residents in Pamekasan continued to carry out normal activities during PPKM level 3-4. According to Firman, many people hold celebrations in Pamekasan.

“At most it’s an extraordinary celebration, there’s no such thing as progress, and it’s surprising that it wasn’t reprimanded. Even so, the residents actually believe in Corona, but they don’t want to think about it all the time,” he explained.

Firman, who is also Mahfud Md’s nephew, said that recently there has been an appeal from the Chairman of the Pamekasan DPRD not to announce the deaths of residents through the TOA of the mosque. This is to maintain the psychological condition of the residents.

Word added that Madurese people also recently remembered last year. That is a belief of local residents, if someone knocks on the door in the middle of the night, and the residents answer, then death will pick up.

“Residents remember the year and the Spanish flu. Because this year has been trusted by the people for a long time. In the past, there was an outbreak of the Spanish flu in Madura during the colonial era. Madura believe, if someone knocks in the middle of the night, or calls his name, but there is no one, do not answer or open the door, “explained the Word.

“And when I wasoman in Pamekasan, I experienced the same thing, when I was at the prayer room. Suddenly someone called me, like my mother’s voice, but I didn’t see anyone, so I didn’t answer, because of that thaun,” he continued.

Firman also saw that many residents died from COVID-19 in Pamekasan, but were still buried by their families and neighbors. The lack of education from the local government is one reason.

“Never mind the family, neighbors also bury them. Residents actually believe, but yes, don’t let COVID-19 be in your mind, the more you think about it, the more you remember it. And the residents’ progress is also less disciplined,” said Firman.
