Nowadays, more than ever, we see how we have more than enough politicians but we’re short of health workers. Our politicians have made an affront to public health and, instead of offering the necessary supplies to aggressively prevent the virus from reaching Spain, they acted as if they were immortal.

We’re lacking a huge amount of resources for our protection. I’d never thought that the best present a friend could give you was face masks and gloves. At this time, we are witnessing how the acts of solidarity from many people are doing more for the country than the government itself. However, we also see how other people are ignoring the state of emergency, uncaring selfish people who have caused that fifteen days of confinement have turned, so far, into fifty.

I can tell you that this virus affects the elderly more aggressively, they are dying because there’s a shortage of breathing machines. They even ended up activating a protocol where the healthier younger patients win and the elderly, after spending their whole lives working, lose.

I’ve always thought we were free. However, nowadays I question how it seems like the powerful lords choose when there’s going to be a virus and how many people should be in the world. The flock was getting bigger and bigger and therefore more difficult to control. Besides, this is the best way to get rid of elderly people who are getting a pension and using Social Security resources. After some investigation, I found out that four months before this disaster had happened, there was a meeting with the wealthiest most powerful people in the world, where they carried out some drills and tests with bacteria and viruses. Is it just by chance that the virus appeared in the country with more overpopulation and at the time of larger migrations? Is it just by chance that the same person that has the patent for the virus with a company has, at the same time, another company which owns the vaccine ready to sell? I don’t believe in chance. We are not free.

My conclusion is that technology doesn’t make us happier, we are social animals and we need the love of our own people and gadgets shouldn’t interfere in a conversation while we eat with family or friends. I’m also aware that politicians are not really doing their job, but we don’t feel their absence, this is because our generation is thoroughly ignorant.

Nowadays, more than ever, we should see who is contributing and who must move out of the way.
