Without hair there is no joy and without health there is no prosperity or hosts. It was quite unpredictable that a bug attacked our obtuse immune system to slow down our inertia and make us drowsy just as the good fairies in Sleeping Beauty groggy an entire kingdom to pretend that time does not pass, thus cushioning the perception of horror. This bug had to arrive so that we began to ask ourselves pertinent philosophical, sociological, economic questions. We needed a virus to tattoo entropy on our skin, the ecological advantages of the disappearance of the human species and the impossibility of controlling everything. A virus, with extremely incorrect educational violence, opens the doors of reason or the third eye - Lobsang Rampa did us harm - to the certainty that our greatest universal problems, according to advertising sources, are neither constipation nor neurosis.

This is not a war- Life from our balconies
However, just as a pen, hammer or needle are of little use, it is also true that inhuman economic systems, guided by the compass of inequality and the hoarding of shiny objects in the magpie's nest, make us workaholic people , sick, medicated: we don't even allow ourselves to praise laziness in full confinement and we hyperactively look for resources so as not to stop producing image, brand, promises for the future. Capitalist fundamentalism undermines health and destroys us: first vulnerable individuals exposed to the elements, then everyone else. That is why, when I observe how the planetary right tries to make politics in the medium term, wielding the hunger that autonomous and autonomous will spend, or extolling the good actions of private companies in the face of the ineffectiveness of a public sector that has been precarious for decades, surgical and minutely; when I see how alarmed before the wolf's ears of hypothetical nationalizations while they return to praise the charity that bathes the kings midas, the footballers with an iron mouth and other athletes, who also for decades did not pay taxes in this country, and later they organize solidarity foundations because the pasta comes out of their ears — wolf with lambskin; When I notice this misappropriation of common sense funds, my pupils dilate and, like animals - swans, cubs, wild boars - I take to the streets to scream that we don't want health to become soaked in ways of living that they are only ways of producing and reducing our bodies to the flesh of disease and pasture of addictions. We have to decide what we miss and what we miss. Do not make the same mistakes. In early April, Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine , gave an interview to El Salto : "People talk about when they will return to normal, but normality was the crisis." The idea of care prevails not only on a domestic scale, but on a public and state scale. Care that saves us from the cruelty of the markets, life on credit, the tongue out, and European amnesia regarding one of its founding community principles: the concept of forced solidarity that in Germany or the Netherlands confuses with weak bailouts. God and goddess squeeze and, in this case, they also drown.
