How do we act when we're on a thin line between life and death?

There is something worrying in all this current reality, many countries can support this situation economically for some time, subsidize their inhabitants in some way and provide them with food so that they do not enter into total chaos within their family nuclei and avoid social collapse and even looting and disturbances due to lack of food at home.

But what happens in most countries where they must, in order to avoid the spread of the virus, keep society at home but there are no state conditions to provide food to their inhabitants but neither do the citizens of that country have food or money to endure days of confinement?

This is a critical point so that families can stay at home, confident that no one in the family will go hungry, but I insist, what else can happen?

Let's put ourselves in a situation, and with objective eyes, before we went into quarantine I talked to many people about this possibility that once it started it would extend for weeks or months the confinement, the social isolation, the concern of the majority obviously food, services, credits, rents, and more than one told me that if they didn't have to eat, they would run out of money and they would have to go out and loot some market to be able to give food to their children, they would do it.

Well, in a way we are talking about life or death, about sacrificing some children, putting them to work, putting them to work that is not their fault for anything that is happening, and any parent could incur in things that they never imagined to do if they find themselves in that situation, I believe it.

I am not saying that it is right, not at all, but in situations where life is in danger there is a thin line that divides good and bad, what is morally correct and what is not, it has been seen in situations of war or extreme crisis like the one we are living that this line tends to become blurred or omitted by many when the situation warrants it. There can be radical changes in any person, even more so when we see them as a society, as a conglomerate.

It often happens that in the face of different realities, the priorities that one has until the beginning of this new reality, usually change, and they no longer exist.

If your mother's life depends on a medicine that you can't access because you don't have the money to buy it, you can't work either because we are in a condition of isolation... what would you be willing to do to get the only thing that could save your mother? Or to feed your children?

This is the time when it's up to us to be patient, take care of ourselves and avoid getting sick. No doubt this is a great life experience for all of us, but as humans we need to recover and come out stronger, but also with our whole families.
