“…2 In some cases, I observed that families did get tested when there was suspicion because of infection, especially after a death in the family. As I show in another article, one woman in Nazimabad (Karachi) had gotten herself tested when her husband died of typhoid and was being treated with suspicion by her neighbours (Khan 2020). Recent literature has made contributions about the reliability of knowledge about COVID-19 symptoms and prevention in low-income settings (Austrian et al 2020;Lau et al 2020).…”

Based on a year-long study involving interviews and surveys among low-income households in Karachi and Lahore, this article describes how participants articulated their experience of the pandemic through ideas of ‘chronicity’ which consisted of poor material conditions, longstanding health problems, and the risks of COVID-19 infections. I consider the bundling of the three elements in relation to the Pakistani state’s imposition of social distancing regulations through its security infrastructure which resulted in reinscribing social differences based on class and religion. Through ethnographic research, I consider how the centrifugal forces at play in the cities at large were negotiated in kinship as members came together during times of illness and emergencies, and conversely, when care to intimate kin was neglected as social distancing practices were taken up selectively in a way that overlapped with deep seated hostilities within families, resulting in further impacting the health of the vulnerable in the absence of adequate health services.

“…Di negara-negara lain juga dilakukan penelitian dengan topik yang mirip seperti di Pakistan, Brazil, dan Australia. Berdasarkan studi Khan (2020) di Karachi, Pakistan diperoleh pemahaman bahwa walaupun banyak usaha yang telah dilakukan untuk meminimalisasi adanya kontak atau hubungan selama pandemi, masyarakat akan kembali mencari jalan lain. Daripada fokus pada hal tersebut, lebih baik memikirkan bagaimana memberikan pengetahuan medis kepada masyarakat sehingga mereka dapat menjaga dirinya sendiri dan orang lain di sekitarnya tanpa adanya rasa tertekan untuk melakukannya.…”

COVID-19 telah berada di Indonesia, termasuk DKI Jakarta, selama kurang lebih 1 tahun lamanya. Kebijakan PSBB diambil untuk mengurangi lonjakan kasus yang semakin bertambah setiap harinya yang didukung dengan kebijakan lainnya. Pada 5 Juni 2020, pemerintah DKI Jakarta mengeluarkan kebijakan PSBB Transisi yang menjadi tanda dimulai era new normal. Tempat hiburan mulai dibuka oleh pemerintah dengan tujuan untuk memulihkan perekonomian. Masyarakat banyak yang pergi berlibur dan berkumpul di ruang-ruang pribadi dan tempat umum di sekitar tempat tinggal mereka walaupun anjuran dan bahaya pandemi masih nyata adanya. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk membahas fenomena berkumpul yang terjadi di tengah pandemic, dengan mengambil kasus Ibu-Ibu di Jalan Pelangi. Pasar Minggu, DKI Jakarta. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa "trust" terhadap orang-orang yang ditemui menjadi alasan masyarakat tetap berkumpul dan berpergian selama pandemi serta didukung dengan interpretasi masyarakat terhadap lingkungannya yang "aman" melalui interaksi dari struktur intrapersonal dan ekstrapersonal masyarakat.
