Hi Curt, I do not know if I was too schematic ... it is not the end of time (I hope), but it is a dangerous time, when an illness can saturate public health services, to have to go to the hospital (due to an accident or any other question).
I tell you from experience that since the economic crisis, with its social cuts and privatizations, there have not been enough hospital beds, or ambulances, or respirators ... already in a "normal" way. In a situation like Madrid and the rest of Spain are living, with the intensive care units and the emergency services saturated, it is not uncommon that more than 1000 people have already died directly from the Covid-19 (in just over a week). We are not informed of those who are dying from inattention.
Hence, taking precautions and taking care of yourself. And fight for our social rights, which for the majority represents our survival in bad times.
When there is a galactic catastrophe, little can be done
.
But the media went from exaggerating to the end of time the Covid-19 when it was in China, to mocking when it started in Europe and saying that washing your hands or with paracetamol was enough. I hope that Italy and Spain are examples of what should not be done in a health crisis.
We totally agree. The War on Corona is over before it begins.
