This long count, which I have been running since that Friday, March 13, 2020, has reached its 900 days... and we are still counting, because although I have heard in the news that in #Venezuela the number of infections reported from the #COVID-19 #pandemic has subsided, as I have yet to hear anything official about the #quarantine measures being lifted, although some things have changed.

At the beginning of the quarantine, it was believed that the contagion of this coronavirus could even be through surfaces and contact, but later it was seen that it was not so extreme, at least in the variants that have reached this country. Due to the serious weakness of our economy, which was already experiencing serious problems, it was impossible to establish a total closure, so as the months passed, attempts were made to make the quarantine more flexible and ensure that it did not paralyze the entire country. In reality, we reached a point where a good number of people had to decide between two options, one was to risk getting infected by going out on the street and coming into contact with other people, and the other option was to stay at home, already without resources or food and dying of decline...

When you have two bad options, and you have to choose, it is normal to choose the less bad one, so between the risk of getting infected (and then getting sick and having the risk of dying) and the certainty that without food, death was the only result, well, it is obvious that the people as a whole chose irrigation. It is as if they forced you to play "Russian Roulette" with guns and bullets, in case you don't know, that roulette is a suicide game, because a drum gun (loaded with only one bullet in one of the 5 chambers) is placed pointing at your head, and they pull the trigger... If you're lucky, the bullet won't be there and it won't be fired at your head... well, I use that as a metaphor image, because going out with the risk of contagion was playing Russian Roulette with one bullet in the gun, but running out of food, medicine and resources was playing that suicidal game with all the bullets in the gun.

I think I'm rambling, anyway, I must clarify that all this rant is to explain how I have seen the situation that developed in those initial months. For heaven's sake, don't take my description of that suicidal game in practice. I make it clear because there really are people who do crazy things, it's like that dialogue in a Tim Burton movie in which the character complains about the lack of intelligence of a person in his face and says with a contemptuous smile: "It's because of people like you who put instructions on the shampoo"

Well, I think this record of my day was strange, but for the most part I am satisfied, it is a bit introspective, but today has been a beautiful calm day, I spent time checking my networks and responding to people who have published some things that caught my attention, I shared an outing with my brother, and we brought groceries, in short, it was one of those days that I like and that's good. I wish you well and that we can read each other another time in a publication that contributes something interesting.

Este largo conteo, que llevo desde aquel viernes, 13 de marzo del 2020, ha llegado a sus 900 días... y seguimos en la cuenta, pues si bien he escuchado en las noticias que en #Venezuela la cantidad de contagios reportados de la #pandemia de #Covid19 ha disminuido, pues aún no he escuchado nada oficial de que levanten las medidas de #cuarentena, aunque sí que han cambiado algunas cosas.

Al inicio de la cuarentena se creía que el contagio de este coronavirus podía ser incluso por superficies y su contacto, pero luego se pudo ver que no era tan extremo, por lo menos en las variantes que han llegado a este país. Debido a la grave condición de debilidad de nuestra economía, que ya venía con serios problemas, se hacía imposible establecer un cierre total, así que al pasar de los meses se realizaron intentos de flexibilizar la cuarentena y procurar que no paralizara todo el país. En realidad llegamos a un punto en que buena cantidad de gente se vio en la necesidad de decidir entre dos opciones, una era arriesgarse a contagiarse por estar saliendo a la calle y entrar en contacto con otras personas, y la otra opción era quedarse en casa ya sin recursos ni comida y morir de mengua...

Cuando tienes dos malas opciones y debes elegir, es normal que se elija la menos mala, así que entre el riesgo de contagiarse (para luego enfermar y tener riesgo de morir) y la certeza de que sin comida la muerte era el único resultado, pues es obvio que la gente en su totalidad escogió el riego. Es como si te obligaran a jugar "Ruleta Rusa" con pistolas y balas, por si no sabes, esa ruleta es un juego suicida, pues se coloca una pistola de tambor (cargada con solamente una bala en una de las 5 recámaras) apuntando a tu cabeza y halan el gatillo... Si tienes suerte, la bala no estará allí y no será disparada contra tu cabeza... bien, eso lo uso para imagen de metáfora, pues salir con el riego de contagio era jugar la Ruleta Rusa con una bala en la pistola, pero quedarse sin comida, medicinas ni recursos era jugar ese juego suicida con todas las balas en el arma.

Creo que estoy divagando, en fin, debo aclarar que toda esta perorata es para explicar como he visto la situación que se desarrolló en esos meses iniciales. Por todos los cielos, no vayan a tomar mi descripción de ese juego suicida en práctica. Lo dejo en claro porque de verdad que hay gente que hacen cosas locas, es como ese diálogo en una película de Tim Burton en la que el personaje se queja de la escasa inteligencia de una persona en su cara y le dice con una sonrisa despectiva: "Es por gente como tú que le ponen instrucciones al champú"

Bien, creo que este registro de mi día quedó raro, pero en buena parte estoy conforme, es un tanto introspectivo, pero es que hoy ha sido un hermoso día calmado, dediqué tiempo a revisar mis redes y responder a gente que ha publicado algunas cosas que me llamaron la atención, compartí con mi hermano una salida de casa y trajimos víveres, en fin, que fue un día de los que me gustan y eso es bueno. Te deseo que tú estés bien y que nos podamos leer en otra oportunidad en una publicación que aporte algo interesante.
