Coronavirus Situation in [Venezuela]: "One more test to overcome"

Coronavirus Situation in [Venezuela]: "One more test to overcome"

April 2020 · 2 min read · Maracay

My experience on the streets of the community.

Very early I woke up and went out to buy and secure a week's worth of food, after waiting 40 minutes the first bus passed

All the people had mouthpieces and some even had gloves.

The shops had outside on the sidewalks marked with green circles, one meter apart, where people had to wait. In addition, everyone at the entrance applied anti-bacterial gel to people whether they were wearing gloves or not.

Queues to buy food.

In the streets there was a lot of organization, harmony and peace.

While I was waiting I was able to reflect on the following, we Venezuelans have learned from the difficult times we have gone through.

- That queuing taught us the virtue of patience and courtesy.

- If there is no public transport you can use a bicycle or walk.

- if there is no domestic gas, you can cook with stoves or electric pots, or use firewood.

- if there is no toilet paper, you can recycle any disused leaves or cloth, and you can also use soap and water. The idea is to clean and it is more friendly to the environment hehehe

- the lack of supplies taught us to value what we have and to be grateful even for a grain of rice.

By presidential decree, the shops that are open are those that sell food.

The government decreed total social isolation and quarantine, informing that for this reason no gasoline will be supplied to private cars and only fuel will be given to public and food transportation.

But it is heard among the population that it is a lie that the lack of gasoline has other causes.

According to media reports in Venezuela there are few infections and very few deaths from the coronavirus. I wanted to believe that information and raise a prayer for healing in the world.
