Abstract

This article explains about the Covid-19 crisis that afflicted the Indonesian people on the one hand and the incompetence of the Joko Widodo government (regime) in dealing with it has put the regime in a defensive position on the other hand. Indeed covid-19 is produced by nature. But the regime did not immediately deal with it until about two months later, a period of gold wasted. Though this virus spread very quickly. Lockdown which is the most rational choice as applied by many countries to break the chain of transmission is not a regime option. The reason was that the regime did not want to feed the people living in areas that were locked down or quarantined. Not surprisingly, the people sued for the inaction of the regime to deal with it.  Meanwhile, to this day the regime also has not yet provided adequate therapy to prevent more people from falling victim. In fact, officials from the beginning made statements that seemed to play with this dangerous disease. After a hard protest and lawsuit from within and outside the country, Jokowi admitted that his regime deliberately covered up the truth so that the people would not panic. Despite acknowledging mistakes and trying to seriously handle them, the policies taken are inadequate, fickle, and overlapping.
