In Indonesia, there are no signs of an end to the Covid-19 pandemic even though it has been running for almost 2 years starting from March 2020.

The community's non-compliance with health protocols mostly occurs due to their lack of understanding of the dangers of disease, the benefits of treatment, and the magnitude of the barriers to Covid-19 in access to health.

Lack of public understanding of how susceptible they are to contracting COVID-19, how severe the disease is, what are the benefits of taking precautions, and lack of instructions for action.

Social psychologists have developed various models to explain and predict health-related behaviors, especially in using health facilities.

The community also faces various obstacles to accessing health facilities. For example, people find it difficult to test for Covid-19 because the cost is quite expensive.

Then the level of public compliance with health protocols such as wearing masks, maintaining distance, and washing hands is still not satisfactory.

Efforts to build public awareness must be increased in various ways by carrying out more effective communication through various media and methods that are suitable for age, educational, and cultural diversity.

In the last few months, various popular articles and various figures in the community have also conveyed that the handling of Covid-19 such as Large-Scale Social Restrictions (LSSR) in Indonesia is very much determined by the compliance of the community with established health protocols.

The high number of violations that occur massively in the community is not only in one place, this is a social problem in Indonesia in the context of handling Covid-19, but what is more worrying is the “indifference” of the public to health protocols.

The Covid-19 disaster has greatly affected the overall education process, from primary to tertiary education. As a result, around 68.8 million students study at home and 4.2 million teachers and lecturers teach from home.

Many of the effects that occur from this incident, for example, the parents of students who are forced to become teachers for their children at home. This compulsion can cause stress to parents. Not only parents, children at home also experience the same stress when taught by parents who are not used to it.

To prevent and avoid the spread of the Covid-19 virus which is currently spreading in several countries, including Indonesia. Work from home (WFH) and Learn From Home (LFH), not gathering and keeping a distance are considered the best ways to break the chain of spreading this virus.

Then through online learning students can study as usual and will not miss the lecture material, as well as more flexible time. However, online learning is not fully welcomed by students, because there are some students who consider online learning more difficult than ordinary learning, not to mention that internet quota must be available and this is the biggest difficulty experienced by students, constraints on the network, the availability of learning tools.

While studying Writing in a Professional Context, I learned a lot about writing difficulties when dealing with writing problems.

Even though professional writers have described it clearly, as a result, novice writers still encounter many obstacles and difficulties in expressing ideas. Obstacles or difficulties that exist are certainly not without causes. But of course these obstacles can be overcome by finding a way to avoid obstacles regarding the writing. Based on patience and persistence, novice writers will not back down before producing a work.

Then the inability to develop problems. Even though writing ideas have accumulated in the mind as a result there is a bottleneck in writing. When I have a problem in my brain, I find it very difficult to develop it and make it a writing material. Often the idea is just stuck in the mind and then it is difficult to put it into writing. This is a little tricky for me.
