You, Mom, like everyone who is over 60 years old, are patients at risk for Covid-19. I am not saying it, the committee of experts that advises the President says it all the time. Yes, I know, you've heard it a thousand times on TV, but I'll clarify it for you again. No, you can not hug your grandchildren, or receive a visit from a friend, nothing. Nor can you go on a getaway to see your youngest son who had gallbladder surgery, or take a flower to dad because the provincial cemeteries have not yet opened.
Did you see the photo of the president in the villa in Olivos that was published last night? Well that's wrong. I'm not saying it, the expert committee that advises the President says so, I already told you. You have to wear a mask and have social distance, but neither the President, nor the First Lady, nor Hugo Moyano, nor his wife, nor his son comply with the norm. That's what you tell me, while you insist that you want to go sit for a while in Plaza Avellaneda to read the newspaper in the sun. But no, mom.
You are a risk patient, like the president, Moyano and his wife, who are over 60. Remember that last Sunday two guards in green vests took you out of the square as if you were a girl who misbehaved and sent you back to your house. They told you, come on, come on, move on, you can't sit here, ma'am . And you had to grab Buffa's leash to start walking around the block with the newspaper folded under his arm.
Or did you not see how those municipal guards call the patrol car every time some grandmother occupies some of the benches located in front of the Cathedral and refuses to get up? Do you want the patrol car to take you too? Or did you not listen to what the police say to scare them, that there are no more beds in the Fiorito hospital and that if they want to go to the square they should cross the Pueyrredón bridge and if they get sick, let Larreta treat them? How many times did they tell you that, ma? Or do you want to happen to you about that woman in Bariloche who was arrested because she went out to walk the dog?
You listen to me, ma, stay home, you are a risk patient. No grandchildren. No playing cards with your friends. No sitting in the square. Stay alone, on your dark ground floor, and if you want a bit of sun, settle for a walk around the block. And don't forget the chinstrap. That at this point it's almost as if you came out naked. What about the photo of Olivos? Surely if someone gets sick they will not go to Fiorito. Forget about that too, ma.
