WALMART, McDonald's and the gas stations saved the domestic economy from freezing in the worst of the pandemic in Sarasota, Florida.WALMART, McDonald y las gasolineras salvaron la economia interna del congelamiento en lo peor de la pandemia en Sarasota, Florida.
By Gualterio Nunez Estrada, Sarasota, Florida.
Despite the monopoly accusations against WALMART and McDonald, it was these two companies, along with the network of gasoline stations that kept the internal economy of Sarasota, Florida, alive during the worst part of the pandemic when few were vaccinated. I remember that most of the small businesses were closed due to the crisis and that the majority of the population went to Walmart to buy everything necessary to supply and feed a family with the least possible expense, which happened despite the fact that the Biden government failed to comply. his promise to provide a weekly federal bonus to essential workers and did not give aid to these companies that barely kept prices and supply afloat

Utilizando los resultados de una encuesta de más de 2000 estudiantes de secundaria de Corea del Sur, cerca del 6% se clasificaron como con un trastorno del juego, y otro 8% se consideró en alto riesgo para el trastorno.3
En respuesta a estadísticas como estas, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) en 2018 incluyó oficialmente el trastorno del juego en Internet (DCI) en la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades, 11ª edición, señalando que el trastorno resultó en "angustia marcada o deterioro significativo en el funcionamiento personal, familiar, social, educativo u ocupacional". La OMS señaló además otros problemas de salud asociados, como la actividad física insuficiente, la mala alimentación, los problemas con la vista y la audición, los problemas musculoesqueléticos, la privación del sueño, el comportamiento agresivo y la depresión, así como el mal funcionamiento psicosocial.4
Los proveedores de salud mental en numerosos países, incluidos Corea del Sur y China, acogieron con satisfacción la decisión de la OMS, diciendo que formalizaba una forma de comprender mejor el problema y apoyar a los pacientes. En los Estados Unidos, sin embargo, la Asociación Americana de Psiquiatría (APA) ha dudado en etiquetar la adicción al videojuego como un trastorno psiquiátrico. Hasta ahora, el juego es la única adicción conductual identificada como un trastorno por la APA; se agregó como un trastorno DSM-5 en 2013.

University of Havana publishes a book on group psychological guidance through WhatsApp. Universidad de La Habana publica libro sobre orientacion sicologica de grupo a atraves de WhatsApp.
The book Remote Psychological Counseling Service: Theory and Practice of PsychoGroups on WhatsApp. An experience during the COVID-19 pandemic was presented with a virtual exchange between some of its authors.
This volume, published by the editorial of the Center for Demographic Studies (CEDEM) of the University of Havana, brings together the knowledge of a group of 41 authors, coordinated by the psychologist Bárbara Zas, who also coordinated the operation of the virtual groups.
The work of the psychogroups, the text indicates, was supported by three essential pillars of action: psychological orientation, group devices and the use of social networks and includes a service route, from its conceptual, methodological and organizational bases of the psychological orientation at a distance offered, implementation, dynamics and evaluation.
Among the recommendations of this delivery are to implement the remote psychological counseling service, which has proven to be viable in Cuba, to other demands or situations that are or are not emergency; when the post closure of the service presents a situation of health reemergency, create specific WhatsApp PsychoGroups with a territorial focus, as is the current case in Havana and Artemisa, and readjust teams with different counselors that allow to enhance the orientation from the professional strengths and satisfy the high demand with diversity of themes.
At the same time, it proposes, as an essential part of the organization and training actions of the distance care service (or face-to-face), to systematize horizontal and external supervision actions, to continue adjusting to the virtual modality, other resources, techniques and dynamics to favor learning and group work.
On the other hand, it considers it advisable, in addition, the use of materials and infographics from other contexts, the elaboration of own supports or establish alliances with the group of users for its design, which guarantees the adjustment of content and contextual and, in very specific populations or themes, develop a strategy to promote the service within the target community to reach a greater number of members and more varied active participations.
In his final reflections it is pointed out that the remote psychological counseling service of PsicoGrupos WhatsApp, has been designed in such a way that it can be replicated by other groups of professionals in similar conditions, whether or not they are emergency.
According to the text, the theoretical-methodological principles established on psychological orientation at a distance, from the presuppositions of Cuban psychology, constitute a theoretical production of reference in the development of this practice in the national context.
In turn, he adds that the professional and social responsibility of assuming a remote psychological orientation service aimed at the population, implies prioritizing to guarantee the quality of the professional actions carried out, a training in skills for this type of experience and the work with large groups in the virtual space.
In his words to the prologue, the psychologist Manuel Calviño considered that "it is the publication of an experience of dimensions not only scientific, methodological, but also ethical, where science is discovered as a direct operation at the service of the well-being and happiness of human beings, so making it visible, sharing it is an act of utmost responsibility".

To be at home is no so bad.
"I knew she will going to be born"
CAMAGÜEY.- The sound of the cardiorespiratory monitor will remain in your mind like the echo of terrible days. Perhaps, more than once you wake up remembering the feeling of suffocation. He will touch the belly like when he was on that hospital bed. A glance at the cradle will be enough to calm everything down.
Acela González Guerra is 40 years old. She was happy with the third pregnancy. He was at risk due to age, but unlike the low weight indicated in previous pregnancies, he now managed to increase a few booklets.
-I started with 45 kilos and reached up to 52 kilos.
The firstborn has just turned 21 years old. Just on the day of the celebration, she began to feel unwell. Then he ran to the Maternal Hospital and soon was admitted to the Centennial Hospital.
- "You must stay," I was scared. Is there a doctor, what happened? "You have COVID."Adelante - “Sabía que iba a nacer” (full article)
CAMAGÜEY.- El sonido del monitor cardiorrespiratorio quedará en su mente como el eco de terribles días. Tal vez, más de una vez despierte recordando la sensación de ahogo. Tocará el vientre como cuando estaba sobre aquella cama de hospital. Bastará una mirada a la cuna para calmarlo todo.
Acela González Guerra tiene 40 años. Andaba contenta con el tercer embarazo. Era de riesgo por la edad, pero a diferencia del bajo peso señalado en las gestaciones precedentes, ahora lograba aumentar unas libritas.
-Empecé con 45 kilos y llegué hasta 52 kilos.
El primogénito acaba de cumplir 21 de edad. Justo el día de la celebración, ella empezó a sentirse mal. Entonces corrió para el Hospital Materno y no tardó el ingreso en el Hospital Centenario.

Even in times of pandemic, it has been shown that the home, in addition to being the safest space to avoid contagion by COVID-19, for the little ones is the ideal place to relax, interact much more with each member of the family and learn new stuff.
It is then, in the hands of adults, to find the ways and means to guide the processes either through play or in the safe and fun performance of household duties, as many as possible.
It is about finding, in the midst of the necessary home confinement, simple and attractive options to avoid boredom, looking for the positive within what seems impossible.
The invitation then is to create tasks where the minors are the main protagonists in the middle of that environment together with the family.
It's about keeping them busy with new things when they stop being creative. It works well for little Leo, as the following pictures show ...
Incluso en tiempos de pandemia, está demostrado que el hogar además de ser el espacio más seguro para evitar el contagio por COVID-19, para los más chicos es el lugar ideal para el esparcimiento, interactuar mucho más con cada miembro de la familia y aprender cosas nuevas.
Queda entonces, en manos de los adultos, encontrar las vías y formas para guiar los procesos ya sea a través del juego o en la realización segura y divertida de los deberes del hogar, todos los que sean posibles.
Se trata de encontrar, en medio del necesario confinamiento domiciliario, simples y atractivas opciones para evadir el aburrimiento, buscar lo positivo dentro de lo que parece imposible.
La invitación entonces es a crear tareas donde los menores sean los protagonistas principales en medio de ese entorno junto a la familia.
Se trata, de mantenerlos ocupados con nuevas cosas cuando dejen de ser creativos. Al pequeño Leo le funciona bien, como muestran las siguientes imágenes...
