An example of how transversal the coronavirus pandemic is is
the number of celebrities
, mainly from radio and television, who were infected with covid.
More mild or more serious, there
are many who lived or are experiencing firsthand
the drama of this virus that continues to wreak havoc throughout the world.
One of the most tragic cases was that of Mauro Viale, who died on April 11, after being hospitalized for three days.
The journalist, who had been one of those who paid the most attention to the issue, warning of the dangers of the new disease, received the vaccine just a few days before learning that he was infected.
His death had an impact on the media and on all public opinion, so much so that, for a few days after Mauro's death, the conductors and panelists appeared on camera with masks on various channels.
But
the gesture was short-lived
.
And he accentuated a debate, installed since last year on the need or not of the number of people present in radio and television studios.

Mauro's son, Jonatan Viale, announced this week that he had also contracted the virus, as did his family, and that he was in isolation.
But Jonatan Viale was not the only one who lost a loved one to the coronavirus.
Last year, Diego Ramos, who also suffered from the disease, recounted the drama of his family: the actor's father, a doctor who wanted to work until the last day, died while his mother was hospitalized.
The new cases
Among the most recent cases of infected are Angel De Brito, who found out while in Miami and a few days after having been vaccinated in that city;
his partner at
LAM
, Andrea Taboada;
and journalists
Rolando Barbano, Gonzalo Sánchez
, Marina Calabró (they share Jorge Lanata's program on Radio Miter) and
Ricardo Canaletti.
For his part, the panelist of
Intratables
, Diego Brancatelli (who found out live during the program of the positive result of his swab) lived a rather complicated experience, hospitalized, from which he was already able to leave.
Another of the panelists of the América cycle, Paulo Vilouta, was also infected.
Not everyone who experienced the disease had the same luck.
For some, it was a situation on the verge of death, as in the cases of Carmen Barbieri and Sergio Lapegüe.
Carmen Barbieri Recovered after being seriously ill from covid, the actress was able to resume her work.
Barbieri, in danger
For the actress, who spent several weeks in intensive care last March, the experience marked her life.
Carmen was infected when she was about to begin her participation in the reality show
MasterChef Celebrity 2
but the disease prevented it.
And he was only able to join when the program had already been on the air for several weeks.
Carmen said that she had a very bad time and even related that she could hear how the doctors talked about how "they were all against her" while she was in intensive care.
Something similar happened to Lapegüe, who spent three weeks in a clinic, one of which he does not remember anything.
The journalist said that
his family expected the worst
since he is asthmatic, but he was finally able to recover.

MasterChef, a focus
Carmen's partner in
MasterChef Celebrity 2
, the jury Germán Martitegui, as well as the host of the reality show, Santiago Del Moro, and one of last year's finalists,
Analía Franchín
, also suffered from covid and, in the case of the chef, he arrived to be hospitalized for a few days.
Claudia Villafañe and Dalma Maradona also experienced the virus firsthand, isolated in their homes.
After the recovery, Claudia spoke of the consequences and in an Instagram live that she shared with her daughter, she advised to take good care of herself.
Among the most recent cases are that of Florencia Peña and China Suárez, who were infected like their children, but were able to overcome the virus, from their homes.
The same happened with Carolina Ardohain and her husband Roberto García Moritán, at the beginning of the year, after a trip to Mexico.
Although for them it was mild, the greatest concern was centered on the driver's pregnancy.
Luis Brandoni was another of the actors who suffered from the coronavirus.

The journalist Horacio Pagani, the actor Luis Brandoni, both at risk due to their age, were also infected with covid, as well as the
Bendita
panelist
, Any Ventura, and the police columnist Paulo Kablan, who had the virus twice, in the two times without complications.
María Fernanda Callejón and Miriam Lanzoni had to be replaced in the
Famosos Cut and Dress
cycle
in recent weeks, both for being positive for covid.
One of the jurors of the same program, Verónica de la Canal, rejoined the cycle a few days ago, after having had a bad time with the virus, according to her.
The designer also said that she lost her father, a plastic artist, as a result of the covid.
The host of
Telenoche
,
Luciana Geuna
, was another of those who this year was infected with coronavirus, the same as her colleague Marcela Tauro.
Last year there were several journalists who were also affected by the virus, among them Eduardo Feinmann, Baby Etchecopar and Gustavo López, in all three cases, including hospitalization.
More infected
Coco Sily, Jacobo Winograd, and Nicole Neumann also suffered from the disease, as did Miguel Angel Cherutti, Roxy Vázquez, Carina Zampini, and Claudia Fontán.
And also the couple Campi and Denise Dumas.
Last year, one of the first to become infected was Lizy Tagliani and later other cases of television conductors such as Guido Kaczka, Alejandro Fantino, Andy Kusnetzoff, Maju Lozano and Darío Barassi became known, in a wave that continued this year with Germán Paoloski and his wife, actress Sabrina Garciarena, among others.
They were joined by El Polaco and Barby Silenzi.
The experience of Belén Francese with the covid, last year, was doubly traumatic, not only because of the concern about the disease, but also because of the scandal and mistreatment that the actress received by the neighbors of her building.
Araceli González and Flor Torrente also went through the experience of the coronavirus.
For Araceli, it was more complicated and the actress admitted that she had a very bad time and that she had sequels.
For Flor it was milder but both suffered, in addition, the death of a close relative, an uncle of Araceli, due to the covid.
The family of Catherine Fulop and Ova Sabatini also suffered the attacks of the covid.
Both Catherine and her husband Ova and their daughter, Tiziana, were infected.
Also, the other daughter, Oriana, who lives in Italy with her partner, soccer player Paulo Dybala: both were positive.
And Ova and Gabriela Sabatini's mother died last month from respiratory complications from the virus.
On the other hand, the death of the theater producer Daniel Comba, last April, someone very dear to the environment, also shocked the artistic world, closely affected by the pandemic.
