My own experiences about COVID-19 quarantine - by @nachomolina

My initial thought:

"For the first time I have to speak with a halo of sadness, my apocalyptic verse twists, for not wanting to leave, I hope that in heaven there are also voices, dreams and letters..." _@nachomolina

"It is time to express feelings, in bad weather good face, to take measures and to take care of yourself, Ok! It is time to be smart and give our best effort to overcome the adverse circumstances"

COVID-19 has come to my city.

"Just as I was preparing to write this article, I heard a very sad news..."

"There is a person infected with COVID-19, in a town near my home!"

According confirmed data by the epidemiology Unit and transmitted by radio chain by the state authorities. Thus, this first confirmed case has been disclosed in the city of Cumaná, Sucre state, Venezuela. Place where I live.

Separated by just 2.0 km. Having in common the same road, public transport line, supermarket chains, mobilization of inhabitants from one sector to the other throughout the day.

Remember, that a person presents symptoms approximately 15 days after having contracted the virus.

Therefore, the individual must have related during that time with a large part of the population, without even being aware of having contracted the deadly disease.

COVID-19 affects me psychologically.

Indeed, for two weeks I have been quarantined between the four walls of my house. Accompanied by my two daughters and wife. I have taken all the pertinent measures to the case and most of the time I spend working on Steemit.com, in front of the computer. Only when necessary have I gone out to buy food in the closest place (located no more than 100 meters from my house), for a few minutes, then I return to my place without stopping or talking to anyone on my way.

This situation affects me, so far, psychologically. For part of the day I spend time thinking about it and looking for possible ways out. I feel that everything leads to the same:

"Threat. imminent danger..."

"I fear mainly for my loved ones, both those who are close and those who are in other latitudes. I hope everyone can stay safe".

I have always said: ¡Whoever dares to erase the smile from my daughters' faces will see them with me!

But this time the COVID-19, is invisible, it is the damn enemy with which I must fight, but I cannot break his face...

As for me, personally !, I hope never to suffer such a condition. And if something happened to me, I wish I was strong enough to get over it. In the same way, I would hope not to infect anyone who is close!

My current financing, during quarantine.

A single answer! I maintain myself financially thanks to blockchain through the profits obtained from my activity on the social media platforms, If it were not for being linked to this economy, I simply would not have a way to support myself, nor mine. I admit that the money reaches me for the daily sustenance based on food, however, it does not include other items since it is not enough income.

Currently, I am redoubling my effort in each publication, improving the quality and frequency of publication, in this way, I hope that I do not lack money in the coming months.

My own thought.

"In my opinion, there are other scourges of a socio-economic nature, in the shadow of COVID-19. As in any crisis, I believe that there may be serious problems in the food supply chain. According to the paralysis of the economy, failures in services, fuel supply and raw materials, perhaps, it will be a matter of time that we begin to suffer from famine (define; unsustainable or null food)".

Let's hope not to get to that, that everything can be taken care of by world governments. Of which I understand that they are doing their best to keep us alive...

This has been the only positive COVID-19 case in my city, until now.

As I announced at the beginning of this post. The only affected person that I have heard of is the inhabitant of the urbanization near my home.

According official information, I heard it said on the radio that it has been completely isolated in a health center and placed under strict medical surveillance by the epidemiology department.

Similarly, the community where the affected person lived was cordoned off by the authorities, preventing people from leaving and entering that area.

Using the graphs below, I will try to show the relative distance between the community where the COVID-19 positive case was detected and the place where I live:

"In my opinion, I understand that the contagion power of COVID-19 spreads rapidly, therefore I believe that there is the possibility of having more infected in that area. Hopefully not so, in which case the studies will issue the actual results".

I could see that the general population is alarmed at such an event.

As for my family norm, we have decided to remain calm and remain in strict quarantine indefinitely.

One of the measures I took was to put a sign outside my house, 6 meters away, that says:

"Visits are not allowed. Quarantined Home"

To this announcement, I put the residential phone number so that people can communicate without the need for a personalized interview.

"This rule, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to stay truly isolated in their home, without receiving unexpected visits. It could make the difference between being infected and being healthy, or what is the same, the difference between life and death"

What do I do at home, during quarantine?

Definitely, yes!.

The time lapse so far, I have dedicated to caring for my daughters.

Since they have not had any more schooling, I have taken my time to do an educational program of tasks and activities related to their level of study.

I have also supported them in new forms of fun and games within our own home, such as:

Creative Drawing
Poetry
Computer management
Reading
Music (Guitar lessons)

_{This is my daughter Natalia practicing singing and guitar classes, while we are locked up at home.}

There are other activities that we have done together which have been very fun:

Swimming pool
Picnic on the patio of the house
Construction of a cardboard house
Design of a "time capsule" in your bedroom closet
Other cooking activities and "Home cleaning"

_{They are Daniela and Natalia, my two daughters, having fun in the backyard of my house during the quarantine.}

"The latter (Household Grooming) seems to me to be of great importance. I think we should all dedicate ourselves thoroughly to decontaminating every corner of our house using "Chlorine" additive, on the contact surfaces. Besides being something necessary, it can also be fun when you do it as a family."

Needless to say, I have spent much of my time on my blockchain activity, meeting my personal goal of one or two "Daily" publications, improving the quality of each new installment and including a variety of content.

I have given a small space of time for the publication of my new "Original Poetry", this time has helped me to oxygenate the poetic fiber and try to reach a higher level in my creative content.

"With each of these actions, I consider that my family relationship has been greatly strengthened and I think that each one of us has changed the way we see the world."
