The QuaranTEENS

At the first moment we knew about the “confinement”, it didn’t seemed to me that it was so bad (I thought it was something cool because it would make us vacation), I was completely mistaken.

Firstly, I realized that I like to get fresh air everyday (weeven if today we can still do sport outings, we have limited distances and we feel watched, maybe because I live next to a police station), moreover, we are not at all on vacation, I feel that I’m getting sedentary classes. I dedicate as much time as possible to the lessons, but it is true that it’s very easy to be disturbed and deconcentrated. In any case, I would not be the most affected since I am used to work at home, so I do not do so badly, I have a lot of things to do at home and I try not to waste too much time (even if I end up playing on my computer 3 hours straight).

I think that the containment policy has revealed human’s true nature… When I go out for a walk, I see far too many people wearing masks, something that is useless for defending oneself from the coronavirus (unless for hospital or supermarket workers who meet thousands of people everyday), I mean, I don’t care what other people do, but right now, thousands of hospitals are in mask shortage, the places that need them most… But human selfishness does not stop there, sometimes I come across people who buy liters and liters of alcohol, and leave the farmacies empty, the same with toilet paper! (why ?).

My esteem for society has gone down again. On the other side I gained hope compared to the planet, we saw recently that nature returns everywhere in the world (We see more and more animals in the cities , CO2 emission rate drops enormously). This showed us that, in only a week, we could make progress if we put it all… obviously I hope the coronavirus will stop soon, but imagine how the world would be after a year. It is in these moments that we realize how much mankind harmed the planet 🌏.
