Quarantine in Venezuela sucks

So, here we are. Stuck in quarantine, we're all in the same boat. I decided to write about my country's situation, because is the thing I know the most at this time.

I can imagine that everyone is having a rough time right now. But I am here to talk about how it's like being at home for more than a month with your familiy -that you love but they can be surprisingly annoying, with a lot of blackouts in your city -the whole city I mean.

Imagine this: you and your whole family are not in the best moment before this virus appears, you are struggling with hours without electricity, between 3 and 6 hours per day, which is more than exhausting because you have a baby at home, and he cries because you live in an extremely hot city, and you cannot use the air-conditioner right now, you have no electricity. Then the president says that you and your family have to be at home (without knowing how in hell you're gonna buy food or medicines because your payment PER MONTH is about 5$ -not the case in my family-). You just embrace the idea, if you have survived for years in worse condition, you can do it for a month or two. What they don't tell you is that you wont have electricity for TWELVE freaking hours, with a baby crying because of the heat, hearing your neighbors talking about the government (good things by the way) trying not to throw them boiling water, with your mom out of the state, waiting for surgery, not knowing when are you gonna see her again.Plus we don't have water for our daily life, we can barely cook or have a shower, measuring water with a big bucket. At least we have internet.

Even tho, you can still laughing and enjoying time with your dad and siblings, because you know that you're moving soon to Colombia and you have to enjoy and embrace each moment with them, because when you're finally gone, you don't know when or if, you will get the chance to see them again.

That is my current situation in here, just a lilte resume of my daily life right now.

Do you guys have any comment or question? Feel free to ask.
