Our history is marked by the scars of events so tragic that despite the passage of time they remain visible. We are marked by so many tragedies: The Spanish Flu Pandemic (1918), The Mameyes Landslide (1985), Hurricane Hugo (1989), Gas Explosion in Ro Piedras (1996), Hurricane Georges (1998), CAPECO Explosion ( 2009), Hurricane Maria (2019), the Earthquake of (2020), plus the subsequent aftershocks, which affect us to this day, to mention a few among many others. But of all these tragedies, it is the most recent, the COVID 19 pandemic, whose impact has altered the way of living all the inhabitants of the planet, the one that has caused more damage than all the others. As of March, 2020 we began to live in a new world, thanks to a virus (COVID 19), unknown until then. The wounds it left us are open (and will be for a long time) given the fear that a new variant of the virus (Delta) threatens to derail all the progress that has been made in the fight against COVID.
