Singer Ricky Martin is with his children in the United States, being held at home and advocating the global protocol to prevent the COVID-19 virus from continuing to spread, which more cases of infected people recorded every day.
There – as in various regions of the world – the situation is critical according to the recent Johns Hopkins University account used as a national reference, the country registers 10,000 positive cases, and adds 154 deaths from the pathogen. In this context, within the one that governs the emergency protocols of the various countries in order to slow the progress of the virus. This is how the Puerto Rican artist felt the need to express himself, to highlight the work of health workers and to make visible his outrage towards those who do not comply with preventive isolation.
“How crazy all this, it looks like a sci-fi movie,” he began reflecting, dressed in a diver reading the phrase: “More love, less hate,” and showed his change of look that didn’t turn out as his son expected; the share of humor for the severe moment the world is going through.” Worst of all, we’re short.” We only have 11 weeks of data. Add to that a little denial from a lot of people who have no idea the magnitude of this problem. I heard a lot of people saying, ‘It only affects seniors. I have no problem, I’m young,'” he remarked visibly offended. That’s how he shared a personal experience and mentioned that many of his friends have been contaminated and “live in a horrible situation.” “I just got out of a study by the U.S. Federal Government that says 20% of patients who have been hospitalized range from the age of 20 to 44. So the theory that’s going to affect our parents and grandparents is behind us,” he said.

“What we do know is that the only way you stop a virus is with severe and radical quarantine, because this virus has no compassion for us. Our only protection is social isolation. Unfortunately there are people who are on the streets, beaches, who are going to restature,” Ricky repudiated and labeled those people “brutes,” “ignorant,” “no empathy” and “criminals.” He also highlighted the role of health workers. “I speak on behalf of those doctors, doctors, paramedics, nurses who are there exposing their lives and their families simply for the love of their careers and humanity. Take care,” he solided.” Let’s stay calm and patient, but let’s not be naive. The only control we have is our decision (…). You stay home, don’t be irresponsible. My luck depends on you, and your luck depends on me,” he closed. It should be noted that this is not the first time that the artist – always committed to social causes – expresses himself in favour of combating the pandemic. Days ago he used his arrival to dozens of people with messages of awareness. In this note:
