Thirty-fourth day of quarantine 

     Dear friend,

     Today I am a little sad. We have already been confined for 34 days and I do not see the end of this situation. Where's that light they talk about at the end of the tunnel?

     For the first time I have a very pessimistic feeling about what is happening, and I begin to believe that things have not been done well from the first moment. How can there be so many infections and deaths in a supposedly developed country? Will I have to agree with those who from the first criticized and criticize the government for hesitation and false steps? Is it true that if measures had been taken, the seclusion, a week before, more than half of the infections and, consequently, many deaths, would have been avoided? With 3,835.62 cases per 1 million people —if they don't lie to us from the Ministry of Health— Spain is the first country in the world in infections. Disgraceful record.

     Fran, until now I have never spoken about politics, but I am feeling emotionally lost; I try not to listen much news so as not to intoxicate my thinking, but it is so difficult to isolate yourself from the continuous bombardment of repeated statements over and over...

     In the government's defence, I can only say that it had been weak since the last elections and the time it lost until reaching what was looming from the beginning, which was nothing other than the alliance, or the coalition, or whatever, the union of one party and another. That lost time took the experience and firmness that a political leader needs and now we are paying for it.

     18579.
