KOMPAS.com - Minggu lalu, Google mulai menampilkan serangkaian doodle sebagai tanda ucapan terima kasih untuk garda terdepan yang melawan pandemi Covid-19 akibat virus Corona.

Kini, Google melanjutkan aksi simpatiknya dengan doodle Thank You Coronavirus Helpers. Doodle Thank you coronavirus helpers ini menjadi akhir kampanye dukungan moril kepada semua pihak yang berada di garis depan, yang diinisiasi Google sejak 6 April lalu.

Dalam doodle tersebut, logo Google yang menghiasi halaman Google.com dihiasi dengan ilustrasi sejumlah profesi, seperti dokter, polisi, sopir angkutan umum, pemadam kebakaran, petugas kebersihan, koki, tenaga pengajar, dan sebagainya.

Profesi-profesi itu ditampilkan bergantian, setelah digilir ditampilkan dalam sepekan terakhir. Menurut Google, ini merepresentasikan bagaimana semua elemen masyarakat bahu-membahu saling menolong di masa sulit ini.

"Covid-19 terus memberikan imbas kepada banyak komunitas di dunia, orang-orang kini menjadi lebih bersatu padu saling membantu," tulis Google dalam situs resmi Google Doodle.

"Kami meluncurkan serangkaian Doodle untuk menghormati mereka yang berada di garis terdepan," lanjut Google.

Huruf G yang ada di depan mewakili masyarakat di seluruh dunia, mengirim "cinta" dalam bentuk ikon/tanda hati ke huruf-huruf lainnya, yang mewakili para pekerja di garis depan.

Doodle berseri ini jarang dibuat oleh Google, kecuali ada event-event khusus besar yang sedang terjadi, seperti Olimpiade dan Piala Dunia.

Seperti diketahui, Google mengusung serangkaian Doodle untuk mengenali orang-orang yang merespons COVID-19. Perusahaan juga menunjukkan hasil pencarian "thank you coronavirus helpers" ketika animasi Doodle diklik pada hari ini.

Mulai dari dokter dan perawat yang merawat orang-orang di garis depan, hingga guru dan pekerja layanan makanan yang memastikan barang dan layanan penting masih tersedia. Terima kasih untuk semua orang yang bekerja untuk menyelamatkan nyawa dan menjaga komunitas aman selama pandemi ini," kata Google.

TRIBUNNEWS.COM -  Mewabahnya virus corona Covid-19 membuat sejumlah negara harus memberlakukan lockdown.

Saat lockdown berlangsung dan aktivitas manusia jauh berkurang, giliran satwa sekitar atau malah satwa liar yang leluasa menjelajahi wilayah, seperti kota maupun, jalanan.

Seperti yang terlihat pada pemandangan tak biasa di Taman Nasional Kruger, Afrika Selatan .

Singa-singa terlihat santai merebahkan diri di jalan karena saking sepinya tidak ada yang melintas.

Penjaga taman, Richard Sowry, sedang berpatroli pada Rabu (15/4/2020) dengan melintasi jalanan yang biasanya ramai dengan turis.

Taman Nasional Kruger telah ditutup sejak 25 Maret sebagai bagian dari lockdown di Afrika Selatan, sama seperti taman-taman margasatwa lainnya.

PIKIRAN RAKYAT - Lima daerah di Jawa Barat yakni Bogor , Depok , dan Bekasi ( Bodebek ) mulai menerapkan Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar ( PSBB ) sejak Rabu, 15 April 2020. Namun, pada hari pertama PSBB diberlakukan, penumpukan penumpang di sejumlah stasiun Kereta Rel Listrik ( KRL ) di wilayah Bodebek masih terjadi. Wali Kota Depok Mohammad Idris mengusulkan penghentian sementara operasional KRL Commuter Line kepada PT KAI Indonesia.

"Kepala daerah diberikan keleluasaan oleh pemerintah pusat untuk mengatur teknis PSBB . Nah, kami minta agar operasional commuter line berhenti sementara untuk ikut mematuhi kebijakan tersebut," ujar Mohammad Idris seperti dikutip Pikiranrakyat-depok.com dari situs resmi Pemkot Depok .

Idris mengatakan hal itu merupakan bentuk pemaksaan dan penekanan mengingat, moda transportasi tersebut berpotensi atau rentan akan penularan Virus Corona .

Today wraps up two weeks of Google Doodles that pay tribute to essential workers combating the COVID-19 pandemic. Google has an illustration showing all the “thank you coronavirus helpers” together, while that space is also being used to remind users when their cities clap every night.

Since the coronavirus emerged, people around the world have taken to clapping for doctors, nurses, and other hospital workers every evening. Google highlighted this occurrence in an ad last month. The display is particularly striking in cities where people take to the streets (while practicing physical distancing) and their balconies.

Each city has its own daily celebration, with Google now highlighting major ones. Clicking the Google Doodle performs a “thank you coronavirus helpers” search with an illustration that shows letters from the past two weeks together. This direct method is the only way you can view the graphic.

Those living in larger areas will see their city, a hashtag, and the time underneath. It’s “#SolidarityAt8” in Los Angeles, while the message for San Francisco is “#GetLoudForOurHeroes at 7pm!” Clicking performs a search where the top result is a Twitter carousel that often shows a message from your mayor.

In total, there are 10 Doodles in the “Thank you coronavirus helpers” series and you can view all of them here:

Public health workers and to researchers in the scientific community

Doctors, nurses, and medical workers

Emergency services workers

Custodial and sanitation workers

Farmworkers and farmers

Grocery workers

Public transportation workers

Packaging, shipping, and delivery workers

Food service workers

Teachers and childcare workers

I’m not crying — you’re crying. Actually, we all are.

During the coronavirus pandemic, the world is seeing an emotional outpouring of support for medical professionals and other essential workers. People are taking to the streets to cheer on front-line workers from London to Barcelona, Spain to New York.

But folks are also sharing their virtual gratitude in video messages of thanks that tug at viewers’ heartstrings. Whether offering praise to hospital workers from afar or showing support for farmworkers who are keeping the world well fed, the YouTube generation is using their video savvy to make sure their messages are heard. And felt.

Here are some of the most heartwarming video tributes to essential personnel — the true heroes of the COVID-19 crisis. Your eyes should dry within a few hours, but we offer no guarantees.

Heroic hurrah

The University of Chicago Medicine uses a 2½-minute video to acknowledge letters and artwork — including kids’ drawings — sent by appreciative people from across the country. The compilation of messages from California, Washington state, Nebraska and beyond encourages medical professionals to “stay strong” and “stay safe,” with plenty of gratitude to spare. “Thank you for putting yourself in the way of danger to save others, to save the public,” says one message. “This is what it means to be a hero.”

Boston strong

More than two dozen survivors of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing offer a tag-team message of thanks and support in this touching message. Among the presenters are Marc Fucarile, who lost his right leg and was hospitalized for 100 days, and Jeff Bauman, who lost both legs and was portrayed by Jake Gyllenhaal in the 2017 film “Stronger” about his recovery.

Kids’ message

An adorable collection of kids offer a chorus of thanks for the “awesome” people working in the trenches. The tike tributes take place in their living rooms, backyards and bedrooms — and in one case, while bouncing on an outdoor trampoline.

A whole new ballgame

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso delivers a surprise message to five first responders on the front lines, thanking them “for keeping everybody safe and providing protection for everybody.” The video has been viewed more than 107,000 times since it was posted March 25 on Major League Baseball’s social media accounts. On April 3, Alonso also sent a message to fans on Twitter saying he “can’t wait to hear y’all cheer your lungs out! Shake that damn stadium!”

Hooray for helpers

This compilation of news stories depicting “random acts of corona kindness” and “neighbor helping neighbor” was produced by Massachusetts filmmaker Michael Gilbert. The video encourages viewers to “look for the helpers” and includes clips about the New England Patriots sending 300,000 N95 masks to medical workers and an emotional sendoff for a patient who was applauded by medical personnel as she was discharged from a hospital.

‘We will get you home’

Cleveland Clinic patient Nic Brown, 38, was one of Ohio’s first COVID-19 cases. When his condition worsened, he was put on a ventilator — but hospital personnel rallied for him, leaving messages on his room’s glass door, including one that read, “We will get you home.” In the video, Brown heaps praise on his protectors. “I don’t know that I have ever seen such selfless people in my life. I really saw the love of God through these people,” says the husband and father of two daughters. “I feel like I’ve got a second chance at life.”

Saluting their own

Two workers at New Jersey’s RWJBarnabas Health Community Medical Center were hit with COVID-19, but they beat it — and they received a hearty sendoff from fellow staff members who “clapped them out” as they were discharged.

Cue the applause

On April 9, members of the NYPD gathered outside the Hospital for Special Surgery to applaud the “heroes” inside the Upper East Side facility. “We are deeply grateful for this show of support,” the hospital writes in the short video’s description.

‘Thank U Frontline’

Singer-songwriter Chris Mann borrows the music from Alanis Morissette’s “Thank U” and offers new lyrics of thanks to essential workers as images of first responders, grocery clerks, truck drivers, janitors, mail carriers and more flash by during the nearly five-minute video. “How ’bout taking a moment to thank the front line,” he croons. “How ’bout thinking of others who can’t stay home.”

You better believe

Even if you’re not a Journey fan, you’d be hard-pressed not to get choked up by the sight and sound of New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital workers blasting the rock group’s hit song “Don’t Stop Believin'” as recovered coronavirus patients are discharged from the Flushing facility.

‘Big’ thanks

“Big Little Lies” star Nicole Kidman offers her support to front-line workers as the daughter of a nurse herself. “I’ve seen a nurse in action my whole life. I used to hang out at the hospital when I was a little girl,” says Kidman, 52, who is a global ambassador for Swisse health and wellness company. “So to now be able to say thank you to all of you for your bravery and your selflessness in what you are doing, particularly during this time, is so important. We recognize you and we love you. Thank you.”

Senior salute

Senior residents at a Kentucky nursing home send a message of hope to those much younger than they who are waging the battle against COVID-19. Saying they themselves had survived the Great Depression, world wars and more, they offer a unified message for the younger generation’s battle: “You will win.”

Caravan of thanks

On April 10, residents around Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, DC, cheered, honked car horns and otherwise took to the streets to celebrate first responders, restaurant workers and the medical center staff. “That was so amazing,” one masked hospital worker says in the video. “It was the most emotional thing that I have ever experienced.”

Fake TV docs salute real-world docs

In a video orchestrated by former “House” actress Olivia Wilde, she and other television docs offer shout-outs to medical personnel battling the coronavirus crisis in real life. Among the stars taking part are “Scrubs” stars Zach Braff and Donald Faison, Patrick Dempsey of “Grey’s Anatomy” and Neil Patrick Harris of “Doogie Howser, MD” fame.

Surprise serenade

A Massachusetts nurse is moved to tears — and you will be, too — when two neighbors saddle up to a violin and a cello for an impromptu performance of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” in front of the shocked medical worker’s house.

As we enter the third week of our five-week lockdown, South Africans are taking to Google in search of answers. One of the search terms this week was a pleasant surprise: Thank you, coronavirus helpers.

Top trending searches on Google this week

“Thank you coronavirus helpers” – 700 000 searches

The top trending search term over 21-day lockdown in South Africa was “thank you coronavirus helpers”, with more than 500 000 searches generated on 15 April, and an additional 200 000 since then.

Starting today, we're launching a #GoogleDoodle series to honor many of those on the front lines in the fight against #COVID19. Today's doodle is dedicated to the public health workers and researchers in the scientific community – on behalf of all of us, thank you. pic.twitter.com/3mgl0NHinp — Sundar Pichai (@sundarpichai) April 6, 2020 Today, we’d like to say:

To all grocery workers, thank you.

#GoogleDoodle → https://t.co/XWOzYTjMqO pic.twitter.com/BudQ17hEMz — Google Doodles (@GoogleDoodles) April 13, 2020

This was also the title of a recent Google Doodle which celebrates teachers and childcare workers who put their lives on the line during the COVID-19 outbreak.

The “Thank you coronavirus helpers” series also honours grocery store workers, farmworkers, farmers, emergency service workers, food service workers, and scientific researchers, to name a few.

“As COVID-19 continues to impact communities around the world, people are coming together to help one another now more than ever. We’re launching a Doodle series to recognize and honour many of those on the front lines. Today, we’d like to say: To all coronavirus helpers, thank you.” – Google

Boris Johnson and Tiger King

The second and third favourites this week were “lion”, which dethroned the previous popular “tiger”, related to the popular Netflix docuseries The Tiger King; as well as “Boris Johnson”.

Johnson, on the other hand, made headlines when he tested positive for COVID-19 on 27 March 2020, and again when he was moved to intensive care on 6 April 2020.

Vinolia Mashego, Zwelinzima Vavi, Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams

In addition, South Africans also searched for actress “Vinolia Mashego”, who recently passed away, and “Zwelinzima Vavi”, who tested positive for the COVID-19 coronavirus on 2 April 2020.

The Minister of Communications, Telecommunications and Postal Services, Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams, also made it to the list after she was sanctioned and placed on leave by the President for violating the lockdown regulations.

The search term was especially popular among Eastern Cape residents, with Western Cape showing the least amount of interest:

Other than “Thank you, coronavirus helpers,” another top trend today is “School reopen South Africa”, after the Department of Health said schools will only resume once the department gives the green light:

“Given the high risk associated with large gatherings, the DBE is considering a phased-in approach. The most critical grades will be brought in first to start the primary and secondary schools, while the remaining learners are retained at home, and they are brought in on an incremental basis”.

Top ten trending search terms over the lockdown period:

Thank you coronavirus helpers

Lion

Boris Johnson

Tiger

Vinolia Mashego COVID-19 news

Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams

Money Heist

5G

Zwelinzima Vavi

Search trends information is gleaned from data collated by Google based on what South Africans have been searching for and asking Google. Google processes more than 40 000 search queries every second.

This translates to more than a billion searches per day and 1.2 trillion searches per year, worldwide. Previous search term reports can be found here.
