From numbers to faces
The pandemic is no longer just isolated figures. I am no longer talking about the 168 million cases or the nearly 3.5 million deaths.
His step became a familiar face and death began to fulfill its task closer and closer.
My social networks began to fill with requests for help to find resources to face the disease. Some succeeded, others lost the battle.
With the latter then my states were filled with familiar faces, shared anecdotes, hugs that we did not give because the distance prevented it, but worse still, by those who could not say goodbye to their loved ones.
My country calls for a massive vaccination that leads to herd immunity. The alarming figures contrast with the official underreporting of cases and deaths.
Meanwhile, I continue counting days and, with them, dismissing friends. Taking care of yourself is not an option, it is the necessary obligation.
From all this, at least in Venezuela, it has been that people turn more to religion and faith. God became a defense weapon for those who know that economic resources are scarce and that in hospitals and clinics, health personnel are the first to die.
Death is round and his unexpected visit makes life go away in a breath, the one that the Covid was in charge of turning into just a thread of life.

De cifras a rostros
La pandemia dejó de ser solo cifras aisladas. No hablo ya de los 168 millones de casos o de los casi 3 millones y medio de fallecidos.
Su paso se convirtió en un rostro conocido y la muerte comenzó a cumplir su tarea cada vez más cerca.
Mis redes sociales se comenzaron a llenar de solicitudes de ayuda para encontrar recursos para enfrentar la enfermedad. Unos lo lograron, otros perdieron la batalla.
Con estos últimos entonces mis estados se fueron llenando de caras conocidas, de anécdotas compartidas, de abrazos que no dimos porque la distancia lo impidió, pero peor aún, por los que no pudieron despedirse de sus seres queridos.
Mi país clama por una vacunación masiva que lleve a la inmunidad de rebaño. Las cifras alarmantes contrastan con el subregistro oficial de casos y muertes.
Mientras, yo sigo contando días y, con ellos, despidiendo amistades. Cuidarse no es una opción, es la obligación necesaria.
De todo esto, por lo menos en Venezuela, ha quedado que la gente se vuelque más a la religión y a la fe. Dios se convirtió en arma de defensa para quien sabe que los recursos económicos son escasos y que en hospitales y clínicas el personal de salud es el primero en fallecer.
La muerte hace ronda y su visita inesperada hace que la vida se vaya de un soplo, ese que el Covid fue encargándose de convertir en solo un hilo de vida.

We all want to save ourselves and that virus does not touch us. .. but it's already touched us when we see that they take away familiar people, and when we get over it, we're so grateful to God.. But before we didn't remember to give thanks in the morning or at sleep.

It gives me sadness to see the ig and many people asking for help being already statistics of contagion... And looking to get into the statistics of recovered people.

We need vaccines we call for vaccines and care, doctors die people with resources and without financial resources die daily.

It's so unfortunate that numbers already become familiar faces. We need to protect ourselves at home to care.

This crown has quickly become a pandemic that holds the whole world in its possession. I wholeheartedly hope that everyone will have access to the necessary vaccines and that they will arrive at the place as soon as possible.
