During the Middle Ages, when Europe was decimated by several plague epidemics, the only way to contain the epidemic was quarantines, the isolation of the infected, because, as it happens to us today, there were no medicines to cure the disease, much less vaccines.
COVID-19 is uncontrollable in Florida, where I live with my wife and family, that's why I feel directly involved in a danger zone where many enter a hospital saying goodbye to the family with a smile and three days later they are a corpse infected that has to be buried stealthily, without ceremony.
I think that to control the new coronavirus and its deadly expansion we have good references of the medical culture in the CDC of the United States.
Precisely Cuba, ninety miles from the Florida coast, following the guidelines of the United States CDC and the American Medical Clinics, has managed to control the pandemic with only 87 deaths, while the state of Florida has more than 6,500 deaths.
In Cuba no child has died, in Florida several have died, including a 9-year-old girl recently.
In Cuba there are 2,588 cases while in Florida we go for 460.000
It is obvious that in the case of Cuba the approach of the United States CDC has managed to control the pandemic while in Florida the opposite has happened.
Florida 10,000 cases a day, Cuba exceptionally in one day 19 cases.
And that is the reason why I start to think that the solution is not in the amount of money you have, nor in the resources, but in that asset more precious than gold and diamond, the one that decides the true victory, that logistics that never betrays you, in short ... what the Greeks called Paideia and that today we opaquely translate with the word "culture".
The Cuban doctors, updated 24 hours around, as soon as the United States FDA update, the only thing they have had done to control the COVID-19 pandemic is to faithfully follow the guidelines of the North American doctors, especially the powerful influence in Cuba of the community of Florida doctors within the island's medical community and the United States Health System, although notoriously dysfunctional, it is still an international reference in terms of Health,with notorious credit and scientific evidence in the Cuban population right now, in the cuban authorities, in his doctors, that the United States is the first biotechnological power on earth.
It is not the North American doctors or the Health System of the United States that have put us in a dead end in Florida, the greatest scientific evidence is Cuba, only ninety miles away.
Sarasota, Florida residents living on the doorstep of Hell should ask themselves:
? What has failed in the control of COVID-19 if the responsibility does not fall on the North American medical community that acts correctly, where is the "iceberg" that will end up paralyzing the economy of the state of Florida, whether it wants it or not, completely?
Durante la Edad Media, cuando a Europa la diezmaron varias epidemias de peste, la unica forma de contener la epidemia fueron las cuarentenas, el aislamiento de los infectados porque tal y como nos pasa hoy no habia medicinas que curaran la enfermedad y mucho menos vacunas.
