The gentle breeze from the sea is already coming!

 Comment 23: The gentle breeze from the sea is already coming!

Summer is getting closer, but we are in a hard situation, and some of us ask ourselves this: Will we be able to enjoy the summer? How will we do it? We don´t really know the answer to these questions, but looking at how the things are going, we can get an idea.
The people of Granada will be reaching Phase 2 this Monday, so we´ll be able to go to the beach. This can sound good, and can make us think we´re defeating the virus very fast, so we´ll get our old lives back soon, but that´s not really true, we have to be very careful if we don´t want to go back to our homes. If you are thinking about going to the beach, it won´t be as it was before. You´ll have to keep the 2-metre distance even in the water, and you won´t be able to play on the sand. Some beaches are thinking about installing some plastic/cristal panels to keep the distances, so if this come true, the beaches will have a really different appearance.
Personally, I hate going to the beach, and in my opinion, going there under these conditions is stupid.
Talking about other things, we won´t be able to meet many people in the same place, so every town´s local fairs have been cancelled. These are bad news, but we must take care of everyone, so if we don´t want problems, this is the best solution.
In summary, I hope this nightmare will dissapear soon, and we will return to our common lives, but until that, we have to prevent any action that can put others in danger.

 

What´s the future...?

 Comment 22: What's the future...?

Our society is recovering its life step by step. Now, we are in Phase 1, where we can meet our friends and family, but we are still far from what we know of normality. Our lives will take a different way from the one we had before, we´ll have to wear masks every day, we´ll have to keep a social distance of about 2 metres, so every action that involves social contact is impossible nowadays. Every shop and restaurant will be different, because they can´t have the same space they had before this, because they must have to offer a local where you can keep the social distance.
We know that we´ll have to learn how to live with this, there won´t be concerts, there won´t be local parties, there won´t be conventions and everything where a lot of people collided in the same place will be cancelled for a while.
In a non far future, we´ll find a vaccine for this virus, and then, we´ll recover our old lives, we´ll meet a lot people, we ´ll hug them, we´ll go to parties, we´ll go to concerts, and we´ll have finally defeated the virus.
Until this happens, we´ll have to be careful with our actions, so we have to do what our governaments tells us.
We have to be strong!

Quarantine Day 2

Comment 18: Quarantine Day 2

In hard moments it´s where you really see what a person is like, and now, with such a hard time we are living, we are noticing that people aren´t as bad as we thought before. Most of us are trying to help fighting this virus, each of us in the way we can, some are working hard at supermarkets or hospitals, others are making sure that people follow the quarantine, others are making material to help the ones who are fighting the virus, and of course all of us are staying at home.
Personally, I´m trying to help printing 3D visors for those people who have to deal with a lot of different people in their daily routines, and may of course in contact with the virus. I´ve already done about 30 or 35 visors, giving them to some neighbours of the town or helping the school with its production.
We all are trying to help others and we see how kind people are. We hadn't seen this before. Everyone is doing something to fight this hell.
Finally, I think that with the help of all and a lot of patience, we will defeat the virus, and in some weeks' time, we´ll be able to come back to our routines and normal life. Step by step we´ll do it.

Quarantine Day 0

 Comment 16: Quarantine Day 0

A few days ago, the alarm state was announced by our government. That means that everybody has to stay at home and they can only go out if they have dog or if they have to go shopping. This announcement means that this virus is more serious than we thought before, so we need to stop it from expanding. Some people have followed the government indications, but others are doing what they want. If we want to stop this pandemic, we can´t meet others, so the only way we can do this is staying at home.
A problem the government has noticed is that we have very few medical resources and hospitals need them, so they can´t work well. These hospitals are getting too busy because there are a lot of patients with covid-19, so that´s another reason why we can´t go out, because we don´t want to make hospitals collapse.
There are a lot of people that are helping us to be as well as we can, like policemen, shop assistans, doctors...
As you see, this is a hard situation that we have to live, so please, don´t make it harder, and follow the indications that the government gives us, so we can end this hell as soon as we can.
