McD Sarinah, why are we so excited to let memories take the risk?

KOMPAS.com – The closure of McDonald’s Sarinah on Sunday (05/10/2020) caused many people to go to the fast food restaurant because they claimed to have memories of the past.

The closure was carried out at the request of the Sarinah Building Management because there would be a renovation of the building and a change in business strategy.

Parents, teenagers, even children, just remember their stories there. The line snakes out of the room.

Indeed, in the face of the coronavirus pandemic and the application of large-scale social restrictions in DKI Jakarta, those who claim to have those memories dare to risk being in a crowd.

On social media, many highlight this.

For the sake of some content on social media, people are willing to meet at McD Sarinah even though they are psbb, pretending to be drastic.
Look at the street vendors, starlings, supermarkets, small food stalls, it is difficult to sell and it is forbidden to sell, but it is not so much.

There is really nothing wrong with feeling sentimental about the closure of McD Sarinah, plus there may be a lot of memories in it. What is wrong is when it crowds into the PSBB medium with the possibility of high exposure to the coronavirus.

The large number of people gathered meant that Satpol PP had to disperse those who came for fear of transmission of the corona virus.

Why do people dare to take risks to release memories?

Psychologically, there is an explanation.
