COVID-19 Is Real, The Grief Of Arumi Bachsin's Husband, Emil Dardak, Losing His Little Friend Pastor Raditya Oloan

SURABAYA - Pastor Raditya Oloan's departure surprised many people. The actress's husband, also known through FTV, Joanna Alexandra, died after battling COVID-19.

“Gone too soon. Farewell Dit, my childhood memories certainly wont be the same without you. Friends are the most nosy but also the most exciting. We still wear red SD pants until we have kids. Even though it's been a long time since we met, but it's really sad to know that my childhood friend has passed away, even though yesterday was still praying for recovery, ”said Emil Dardak.

Emil Dardak emphasized that the COVID-19 case was no joke. This virus can even "steal" someone's life. Therefore Emil Dardak reminded him about the lifestyle in the new era, ensuring that health protocols are followed.

"Hopefully Joanna @joannaalexandra and the children and family of Uncle Sarido and Aunt Lila, Andru and Icha, will all be given the courage. Radit is subject to autoimmune storms (cytokine storm) that occurred in certain cases of Covid19, and even though it was negative for Covid19, it actually affected the organs. still available. Covid19 is real! Hopefully all of us will always be protected by the Creator, "he continued.

In mid-2020, researchers uncovered one of the biggest mysteries of the corona virus: why COVID-19 has a mild impact on one person, but can also be so deadly for others. One answer is called a cytokine storm. Raditya Oloan Panggabean, husband of actress Joanna Alexandra, experienced it before she died.

Cytokines are high levels of immune system proteins. Researchers found cytokines in the blood of the COVID-19 patients with the most serious symptoms. More deaths from COVID-19 may have occurred because of a chaotic immune reaction rather than from infection with the virus itself.

When the immune response gets out of control, they will begin to attack the body's own cells and tissues rather than fighting off the virus which is its true enemy. Cytokine storms are not a new health problem. It is known to occur in autoimmune diseases, such as arthritis in adolescents.

Cytokine storms also occur in some cancer treatments. Or like Raditya Oloan, where a cytokine storm is triggered by an infection. A study of patients who died of the H1N1 influenza virus, found 81 percent characteristic of cytokine storms. Dozens of other studies were conducted to find ways to save patients from a cytokine storm.

Certain types of cytokines trigger cell death. A lot of tissue can die when a person experiences too much cell death. In COVID-19, the tissue is mostly in the lungs. When the tissue is damaged, the walls of the tiny air sacs of the lungs leak and fill with fluid.

This condition causes pneumonia and triggers a lack of oxygen in the blood. Lung damage in a severe degree will cause respiratory distress syndrome. From there, other organs will begin to fail.

"Basically, most of your cells will die from the cytokine storm. It eats away at the lungs. They couldn't recover… It seems to have contributed to the deaths in many cases, ”Mukesh Kumar.

In his research, Kumar also discovered how the SARS-CoV-2 virus triggered more cytokine production up to fifty times. This production rate is much higher than how the body reacts to infection with the zika or west nile virus.

Raditya Oloan Panggabean breathed his last on Thursday, May 6. He had fought against COVID-19, even from inside the ICU room at the Friendship Hospital.

His wife, Joanna Alexandra, repeatedly reported Raditya's condition through social media uploads. Joanna also asked her followers for prayers on social media.

On April 14, Raditya was confirmed positive for COVID-19. Joanna had uploaded her photo with Raditya while undergoing treatment at the Wisma Atlet RSDC.

"Now my husband is in IMCU (intermediate care unit) and he's on high flow oxygen ... Hopefully saturation and other numbers will improve quickly so he can return to my room again," wrote Joanna.

Three days later, Raditya was referred to the Friendship Hospital. Meanwhile, Joanna and a number of other family members remain at the Wisma Atlet RSDC.

At that time, Joanna stated that Radit had to be treated in ICU. However, Radit also reported through social media uploads that he was not referring to COVID-19, but the effect of COVID-19 which causes inflammation.

"Btw this morning I had a swab and the results were negative. But the COVID-19 made an attack until my body became inflamed," wrote Raditya.

The news continued, Joanna wrote about Raditya's condition, who was experiencing post-COVID-19 with comorbid asthma. Comorbid is a condition when a person experiences two or more diseases that occur simultaneously.

This term has recently appeared in cases of COVID-19. Comorbids are also often referred to as increasing the risk of death of a COVID-19 patient.

Raditya's news got worse. Joanna described the cytokine storm that Raditya was experiencing. "He is going through a cytokine storm which causes hyper-inflammation in his whole body ... Plus there is a fairly strong bacterial infection," wrote Joanna.
