I believe that we must comply with the restrictions that the government has sent us and we have to carry them as part of the day to day.We can't skip the restrictions because if they didn't lock us in our homes and that isn't good for our economy.
ResponderEliminarIf we all comply with the restrictions before, the patients due to covid will go down and the restrictions will drop. The numbers of the covid of this third wave are very bad, much worse than the previous ones and thus we cannot move forward, we have to do our part so that this can continue forward and that vaccination continues so that there are more immunized people.

Nowadays, if you get sick is not the same as if you did it before because we think that we have the covid, and we have to stay home without leaving. Even there are many people that don't leave the house because they are scared to get sick.
ResponderEliminarThere are many people that have relaxed with the security rules and we are back in the worst days of the pandemic. I think that the best for stop the contagion is to return to another lock down some weeks, but I don't think that this can do it because there are so many things that are affected.
In conclusion, I think that we have to wait a long time to have all the people in the world the vaccine and stop with this pandemic.
RAQUEL PEINADO TORRES 4ºA
We are currently in a difficult situation, some experts say that we are almost at the the peak of the third wave. I think the best we can do is stay at home and go out for the essentials. Right now in my town we are in one of the worst moments and we are even in perimeter confinement.
ResponderEliminarThere was great hope in vaccines, here in Spain vaccination goes too slowly, we would have to take the example of England where they are vaccinating in many places and even in churches.
At the moment everything is very complicated, infections and deaths continue to grow. We hope the worst is over and soon the curve begins to fall.
Alejandro Venegas Mancilla 2ºA
I think that with the Christmas holidays, many people have relaxed with the covid measures and that is having its consequences, since the cases of covid have increased a lot, and we are even worse than in March.
ResponderEliminarIn my opinion, returning to a lockdown like the previous one is going to be impossible, but for now we are in a perimeter confinement and we must comply with it.
And now we have to be even more aware that we have to continue to comply with the rules so that we can move forward and have a better summer than the last.

If you get sick in this times isn't the same as if u did it before because it could be covid, and people could be scared. There is people that dont leave their houses because they are scared of getting covid or getting sick.
ResponderEliminarIn my opinion we should stay in cuarentine one more time, and go out for essentials things, because the covid cases are increasing constantly, and there is many people that don't obey the security rules, like don't use the facemask, don't have security distance, smoke at the street, or just stay at the street in the night confinament
Daniel del Pozo Quesada 1º Bachiller
Nowadays many people is so scared because Covid-19. When many people feel any symptom they call and they go to the Covid test, if they get positive, they have to stay at home in cuarantine even when the get negative. Any person who had contact with him/her, if he gets negative have to stay in cuarantine 10 or 15 days in his house without contact with any people.
ResponderEliminarWe have to be carefull with Covid-19 it is serius and we can to fight it.
Francisco Toledo López 2ºA
Right now we are going through a difficult time, people have become less responsible with security measures and more people have been infected, we would have to learn to pay attention to the rules and take this situation seriously because we are fighting against something that we do not see and we are putting ourselves and our families in danger, hospitals are full, more and more people die alone and without being able see their families for the last time, we must be careful and responsible.
ResponderEliminarLUCÍA FERNÁNDEZ QUIRÓS 4ºA.
Today we have been with the covid for a year.
ResponderEliminarThe covid has caused a very bad situation in the world since many people are dying because of it and the worst thing is, some people die without being able to say goodbye to the family.
To stop this situation we must try not to meet with many people and be responsible so that we can end this situation now.
Victor Peñalver Domínguez 4ºA
We all know that the situation we find ourselves in isn´t easy, because many people are getting sick and dying and this creates many problems. Although we all know it, it seems like many people don´t care or simply don´t give the importance the situation deserves.
ResponderEliminarAs there are people that don´t care, there are many others who even panic leaving their homes.
I think that right now we should all contribute to the situation since it is everyone's problem and that we can all be affected.

ResponderEliminarNowadays, if you get sick is not the same as if you did it before because the authorities think that we have the covid, and they say us that we must to confine us and then they do us the test of Covid and if you give positive they start one search to detect possible infections among people who have been related to the person who tested positive.
ResponderEliminarThere are too many people that are relaxed with the restrictions because they say that are ridiculous as can are the curfew at ten o'clock (pm), but if the authorities take this decision is because this restriction must to reduce the rate of infection, I don't understand this restriction, but I think that I don't must to understand, If not that I must to respect and keep it, because if we don't respect the restrictions pass that it is passing right now, that the infection of Covid is increasing.
On the one hand, I undersant that the people are tired of this situation and of the restriction, but if we don't keep it this restriction never we can go out of this situation. The authorities don't want to confine and they are enduring as much as possible without confining ourselves, even was worse than the first wave, because they know that we can stay other time confined but We are leaving them no choice but to confine ourselves as we ignore the restrictions.
On the other hand there are the economy the most important thing for that the authorities don't confine us, because with the first wave the economic stand devastated and a lot of people lost his jobs, and if we return to confine the majority of the people that didn't lost his job can lost now, and the economy now it would be really bad.
I think that the best solution to reduce the infection is that we return to confinement about one month although this restriction don't finish with the Covid, because the vaccines it will take a long time to put them on the whole population.
It isn't the moment to relaxing now! We don't stop the vaccination right now, why Europa is vaccinating faster than us? We must vaccinate faster or we have got harder with the population and we aren't doing anything. The vaccination must faster than others countries, we go very slowly. The politics should walk in more options to contain the pandemic, Salobreña was closed, we don't want close Salobreña the next time.

Nowadays, nothing is the same as before. Starting with this blog, since the pandemic began, all the blog posts are about coronavirus. I don't enjoy it. I am always writing about this virus and, sometimes I have any more to say about this issue.
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, some people think that we must be in our homes because of government orders as we are having sad news every day. With these new rules, the infections and number of deaths would decrease in few weeks.
On the other hand, we have the economy. A lot of businesses are closing, or they have serious troubles paying all debts. A few months ago, I read that a man who had a bar was bankrupt, and he had committed suicide because he was overwhelmed by the situation. The authorities should help them so that they can stay open and also be helping the economy.
In conclusion, if all of us are careful, we will get better. Remember to follow the prevention tips.
It is necessary to be stronger than ever in these times, especially due to the coronavirus. Now diseases are very confused, the symptoms of the coronavirus are symptoms that have many other diseases, so now it is very confused and it is not known when it is a disease that can be more controlled or when it is coronavirus.
ResponderEliminarFortunately, I don't usually get sick, but what often happens to me is that my throat hurts, but otherwise I'm usually fine.
I just hope that people are responsible, and be careful what they do, because it is not the time to be without masks, without safety distances, etc. Because there are many people and families who are having a hard time, luckily I am not one of them.
Rocio Avellanedas Nocete 2°ESO A
The people have to be strong and put up with this pandemic . The people that have passed the coronavirus had sequels ( problems to breath , loss of hearing and problems with voice ) . There are a lot of people that don'tuse a mask and they cause more cases . The UCI's are to the border of the colapse . This situation is as bad as that in the confinament .
ResponderEliminarJavier Rivas López 2ºESO A
Now is not the time to relax! We do not stop vaccinating today, why is the speed of vaccination in Europe faster than ours? We must get vaccinated faster, otherwise we will be difficult due to the increase in population, and we will not do anything. Vaccination must be faster than in other countries and our progress is very slow. Policy should take more steps to contain the pandemic. Salobrennia has been closed and we don't want to close Salobrenia next time.
ResponderEliminarÁlvaro Molina Martín 4ºA
Today the only thing that is talked about is the coronavirus and everything that is related to the pandemic, and I point out that it is not bad to talk about them but there are times that it tires. I understand what many families have gone through when they lose close relatives and have them talk about them but we have to live life and as what we have on top is not to forget it but it is not to make ourselves heavy always talking about the same topic of conversation.
ResponderEliminarApart from the covid they are roasting many things in the world, but we do not have to go very far and we are going to stay here in our country, for example what happened the other day with a man who went to kill two policemen with a knife, because nothing has been heard about that either in the news or that people have said anything.
That under my point of vusta it seems very logical that they talk about the issue as serious as this is the covid but things continue to happen in the world that are not being given importance and are also very serious.
Antonio Fermín Carrascosa Megías. 4ºA
I think that people have relaxed with the safety rules, and that’s why contagions have increased.
ResponderEliminarRight now we are worse than at the beginning of the pandemic because the people do not use the mask well.
I think that we won’t be confined again because if not the economy of the country would be very bad and many families would have a very bad time.
JOSÉ ADRIÁN GONZÁLEZ 4A
People have relaxed with the security measures this Christmas and now there are many infections by Covid. If we do not take this seriously we will not be able to move forward and this will take much longer to resolve. We can get to infect our families without realizing it, and that is a serious problem because older people are affected much more by the virus than young people.
ResponderEliminarA lockdown now would help us reduce coronavirus cases, but it cannot be done because it would greatly affect the country's economy.
María Romero 4ºA
This Christmas, the number of people infected with covid-19 increased, so it was decided to confine ourselves for 2 weeks, so that this helps us reduce those infected.
ResponderEliminarThere are people who do not care about this situation and do not take security measures like others, so we are all affected with this type of behavior, but this must be between all of us in order to move forward and get out of this situation.
LARA QUESADA SOSA 4ºA
Getting sick these days because there is that fear that what you’ve caught isn’t the common flu but the COVID-19. That fear of get sick has increased even more with the new third wave of the pandemic.
ResponderEliminarWith the vaccine now out I hope third wave to be one of the last of the pandemic for long time. The pandemic has been only giving quite a threatening political tension and has been also giving to all the misinformation and fake news spreading all over the social networks.
At the end I think that, being optimistic, in about a year the pandemic will be finally over. So the only thing we can do is to stay safe and take care of ourselves because no one else will do it.
We have to pay attention to the restrictions that the government put on us to avoid infecting others and ourselves.
ResponderEliminarIf we get sick we will think it's covid-19 but it can be a simple cold.
There're people who don't comply with the restrictions and that is why the number of infected is increasing. It would be nice if there were another confinement for just a couple of weeks, but if there were some things it would be affected like country's economy.
Denisa Andreea Tomoroga 4°A
We have to end this, people do not take this as a funny, we have to take COVID-19 seriously in order to stop the third wave, because then if we don't stop it, the cases will increase. We did well at the beginning of the pandemic with the total confinement, people don't have to relax. If after this third there is a fourth, i think they have to do confinement.
ResponderEliminarOliver Lozano 2ºA
We must comply with all the restrictions, there are many people who are having a hard time. We should not relax because there could be a fourth wave. We all want to return to normality, but for this we must comply with all the rules imposed by the authorities. Some people are relaxing and breaking the rules and that will lead to a new confinement.
ResponderEliminarWe have to trust that the vaccine will take effect in the not too distant future. when that happens, we will stop wearing masks and we can go out.
Let's hope there won't be a fourth wave because the population is starting to get tired.
Raúl García Jiménez 4ºA
So that the economy is not ruined, they are giving us more freedom, but even so, we must respect the curfew, the number of people we go out with, avoid crowds ...
ResponderEliminarThis wave is affecting more young people and it is easier to get it because if we have a mask but we do not comply with the safety distance it is contagious.
Now if you get sick, the first thing they tell you is to take the test and trust yourself for safety, but apart from the covid there are more diseases that are not getting the necessary attention.
Negative PCR is essential to travel and a just cause is needed, so a vacation is not valid, there are airline companies that do not request proof and from my point of view it is dangerous since the plane does not keep the safety distance and there are many passengers.

ResponderEliminarThe main issue during these two years have been the Coronavirus and the importance of being safe and taking care of ourselves and others. It is a very repetitive topic, yes, but it is a very serious one. It may seem that it is none of our business, but the truth is that if we don’t all do a little bit of our part, the world will die, the people we love will get sick, or even we could, and therefore it is a dangerous situation, and staying safe and secure is essential.
EliminarOn the one hand, it is crucial to be relaxed, calm and enjoy, but this doesn’t entail putting our health at risk. We can enjoy and relax by being responsible and keeping our health as a priority. All we have to do is follow the rules and avoid as much as possible facing situations that put our well-being at risk.
On the other hand, we should take advantage of this terrible situation to be more aware of our future, and take advantage of all this time in which we are in quarantine. For example, there are many people who are dedicating this time to having parties and playing video games , and although this is not wrong, they should be aware of the situation and seek the best for them.
As a conclusion, we can deduce that staying safe and complying with the imposed rules is essential in this situation, although personal life shouldn’t be put aside, we must prioritize our health and be aware that we are in the middle of a global pandemic.
Susana P. Bosch 1º BACH
In my opinion I think people have relaxed a lot, especially In Christmas. I think people do not think well because this is a very serious thing.
ResponderEliminarThere are many people who do not take it seriously and do not take the necessary precautions not to get infected and to be able to help everyone.
We should all put ourselves in the position of others and take more precautions.

Nowadays many people is so scared because Covid-19. When many people feel any symptom (fever, loss of taste and smell, body aches ...) you go to the hospital and you have to do the Covid test, if you positive you have in your bethroom in cuarentine 10 or 15 days, when past the 10 or 15 days in cuarentine you go to the hospital and youu have to do the covid test, too. Many people who had ccontactive with a person that is positive you have to do de covid test, if you negative you have to stays in cuarentine 10 or 15 days in his house with any conatc to other people.
ResponderEliminarYou have to be carrefull with covid-19 it is serius.
Carolina García Bautista 2ºA
This is an issue that has already been talked about a lot but we have to continue talking about it, since it is necessary to make people aware that it is a very important and serious issue, due to the situation we are experiencing. For this to change, people need to have a conscience and to reason and think about things and above all about the consequences that these acts can have, since it can affect both your friends and your family or people you know very little.
ResponderEliminarThe issue of being ill is now a somewhat forbidden subject, since if you only catch a cold, people look at you badly when you sneeze or turn you away since they think it may be COVID-19. In addition, with any symptom, no matter how small, they will test you to see whether or not you are positive for COVID-19. I think that all this is becoming normalized, since the pcr is already mandatory for almost everything, before you have surgery, when traveling, even for some jobs.
I think we should raise awareness and help people who are not, because we are in a very difficult situation that should already be solved and here it is, after a year.
After all that we have been through, it is not the time to relax as we are still in a pandemic and with each passing day the situation worsens.
ResponderEliminarMany people seem to not care about the situation we are in and completely forget about the virus, disobeying the orders of our rulers, on the other hand there are many other people who do care about their health and that of other people in the world, then of a year and 3 months they will remove the alarm state which means that there will no longer be a curfew so it will cause a lot of problems so many people, especially young people, will go out without control and have parties with a lot of people, then we will return to the state of alarm so that they can lower the infections.
Getting sick or getting sick from any other disease other than COVID, people look at you badly and it is somewhat uncomfortable that people look at you as if you are scary and it is simply a normal cold, in addition to the vaccination there are many people who have been vaccinated and the virus no longer affects in the same way as before.
In my opinion, I think that we should all educate others, whether they are our friends, brothers, that not respecting the rules that they impose on us is wrong and we must obey them so that everything goes as well as possible.
Now getting sick with a fever or a cough or with symptoms that before you said a cold now may already be the covid it is very difficult not to catch it since it is like a cold but for many people it is more than that because it is capable of ending life Of many for all this we had the so famous quarantine for a lot it was good but for me it was one of the worst times of my life and above all the return to the routine that if it was a very bad moment that is why I would not take a quarantine again myself I would put more restrictions.
ResponderEliminarCovid-19 has been one of the most extreme pandemics. More than 120,000 people have suffered the loss only in Spain because of Covi-19. A lot of families have suffered the lost of a family member, friend or acquaintance. Also, a lot of people have been in hospital in a serious condition, but with the vaccine the body the body prepares to receive the virus and now it is just like a cold. The Covid-19 arrived in Spain on 1st March 2020, and the quarantine began on 14th March and finished on 21st June in Spain.
