RE: How to deal with the situation today?

in Project HOPE4 years ago

Hi @pedrobrito2004,
Thanks a lot for your nice comment. I think that this situation allows me to understand better how life must be in Venezuela. The unfortunate thing is that instead of Venezuela getting better, the world is getting closer to the state of Venezuela which is not really hopeful...

When I see the ambulance passing every couple of hours to take people to the hospital, the fact that I can't work at the moment seems like unimportant at the moment. In such a crisis what matters most is to be healthy and to be able to provide for your family.

I've heard that the virus has reached your country too. This must be another additional hardship in your every day life.

Stay safe and healthy my friend

Best regards,
Achim

Please no. A world in which all the countries become the same disaster that I have around me is something terrifying!

It scares about the ambulances, take good care of yourself. In my case, I don't think I have to worry about ambulances, since the hospitals I know in my town have had accidents for a long time, with no spare parts and no budget to repair them.

Certainly, the virus has also reached these latitudes, until now we are taking social quarantine and isolation measures, trying to keep people at home, but it does not work quite well, since many people work to live every day and if not He works, he does not eat, so it is up to them to choose between being at risk of contagion on the street or waiting at home, rationing what he has from food as much as he can and then dying of a decline.

Those with children have no choice, they need to go out to work and take risks every day to earn some money and take food home. I am lucky, in comparison, the University where I work suspended the activities, I am alone, the boys migrated and they are big, I have some water and food and I can ration with clam, the electricity has been working better and I only have blackouts of a few hours every certain amount of time. It may not sound very nice, but believe me, I have many compatriots who are much worse, so I do not complain much.
