So, all these while you just listen to stories about how Covid-19 affect other peoples' lives. Until one day it comes and knocks on your door.

My dad, at 70 operates a GP in the other side of the country. Still going strong despite the age. Being a doctor is not just his profession, it is his passion.
Told us all that he will open his clinic until he no longer has the strength to do so.

Before the MCO, he was visited by a Tabligh fella. During history taking, the fella revealed that he missed the gathering due to some prior commitments, much to my father's relief.

When the MCO was declared, my dad chose to close his clinic as well, also due to him being in the high-risk category.

However, today, he just received the news from KKM that the patient was indeed positive. This was due to him keeping in the close company other Tabligh fellas who attended the Ijtima'.
Both dad and mum were unwell during the first few days of MCO, but they are OK now, not showing any symptoms. However, KKM insists on him to get screened tomorrow.

So here I am, away in KL, unable to do anything but to pray and offer moral support from far through phone calls.

Sigh, it sucks, this helplessness.
