The Covid is being very hard for children. It has come to stay, like HIV, many people will be infected all over the world, it not only kills people but the consequences and the disease are also serious. It is not always easy to have a vaccine, there are many viruses with which there is no vaccine, we do not know if children will be the first to be vaccinated or not, it will go to the group that needs it most, but it cannot know if children will be the first from the tail". Children may have the virus but they can pass it on to the environment and in turn they are the least affected but infect others who are more vulnerable, so it is difficult to say which will be the first group to be vaccinated on the day the vaccine appears .all families are unique and different. She receives many letters from parents concerned about bringing the virus home from school. It is a truly complex issue, I cannot offer a different answer, you have to be realistic.We must know who has the Virus, it is the most important thing. PCRs are technically complicated, it is a super-technological machinery, that is why it is immensely difficult all over the world to do so many PCRs, that is why it is so important to develop rapid tests, they are the test antigens, there will be 120 million doses of this test will be ready In the next 6 months He wants billions of these tests for everyone to do to all schools in the world and Non-Invasive for children will be very important.
El Covid está siendo muy duro para los niños. Ha venido para quedarse, como VIH, mucha gente será ingfectada en todo el mundo, no sólo mata a gente sino las secuelas y la enfermedad también son graves. No siempre es fácil tener una vacuna, hay muchos virus con los que no se tiene vacuna, No sabemos si los niños serán los primeros en vacunarse o no, irá al colectivo que más lo necesite, pero no puede saber si los niños serán los primeros de la "cola" . Los niños puede que tengan el virus pero pueden pasarlo al entorno y a su vez son los que menos afectados resultan pero infectan a otros que sí son más vulnerables, por eso es difícil decir cuál será el primer grupo en ser vacunado el día que aparezca la vacuna.todas las familias son únicas y diferentes. Recibe muchas cartas de padres preocupados por si traen el virus de la escuela a casa. Es un tema verdaderamente complejo, no puedo orecer una respuesta diferente, hay que ser realista .Debemos saber quién tiene el Virus, es lo más importante. Los PCR son complicados técnicamente, es una maquinaria supertecnológica, es por esto que es inmensamente difícil en todo el mundo hacer tantos PCR, por eso es tan importante desarrollar test rápidos, son los antígenos test, estarán 120 millones de dosis de este test estarán listas en los próximos 6 meses.El quiere billones de estos test para todo el mundo para hacerlo a todas las escuelas del mundo y No Invasiva para los niños será muy importante.

We must know what proportion of the population of Africa suffers from the virus. We have the problem of asymptomatic infected people. That is why we must have a test. The people most affected have also been the elderly. We must also know if the mobilization of the Virus makes it more virulent or less. Every Tuesday of the week they assess the status of the evolution of the Virus.One reason why in Africa the virus has caused less damage is because they have a lot of experience with other infections in the past, today they have a coordination throughout the African continent that is very positive, also coordination of the continent at the level of Ministries, the community. Engagement is fundamental and is very well established, after Ebola they have learned a lot, cholera, polio, HIV, all of this has prepared them for COVID 19, the role of the private sector is fundamental (it has dedicated an economic part to medical aid), and finally ensure that it is a question of all sectors at the same time, all involved in society and committed.
Children have been affected by Covid 19 for many reasons, not just health (lack of socialization, parents at work, etc.). Now the main preventions are already more incorporated in our routines (hand washing, social distance, mask), it is an opportunity to reinforce confidence in the vaccine (when it is ready). The issue is that we do not know how to act in a situation like this, it is new and puzzles us and at the same time it is essential to share among people what we need, to build a "way of acting", we have time to do it until the appearance of the vaccine .we must "build trust in the authorities, in the future vaccine, we must trust the teacher, the family doctors who care for us", we must discard conspiracies, false news, rumors (for example that 5G technology causes the Covid 19), we must work on resilience, we must take care of nutrition, health, take care of ourselves.
Ahora las principales prevenciones están ya más incorporadas en nuestras rutinas (lavado manos, distancia social, mascarilla), es una oportunidad para reforzar la confianza en la vacuna (cuando esté lista). El tema es que no sabemos cómo actuar ante una situación como esta, es nuevo y nos desconcierta y a la vez es fundamental compartir entre las personas qué necesitamos, para construir una "forma de actuar", tenemos tiempo de hacerlo hasta la aparición de la vacuna.debemos "construir confianza en las autiridades, en la futura vacuna, debemos confiar en el profesor, en los médicos de familia que nos atienden", debemos desechar las conspiraciones, las noticias falsas, los rumores (por ejemplo que la tecnología 5G causa el Covid 19), debemos trabajar la resiliencia, debemos cuidar la nutrición, la salud, cuidarnos.

What is in the shadows will be light, in April we saw that something was broken, in May there was a more straight evolution. In India girls were more affected than boys. We must have a global picture of the world of the moment we are in. Why close all schools if perhaps some can remain open. We must analyze where to apply economic and budgetary resources. We must learn from other countries with transparency to improve.
Lo que hay en las sombras será luz, en abril vimos que se rompía algo, en mayo hubo una evolución más recta. En India las niñas resultaron más afectadas que los niños. Debemos tener una foto global del mundo del momento en qué estamos. Porqué cerrar todas las escuelas si quizás algunas pueden permanecer abiertas.Hay que analizar dónde aplicar los recursos económicos y presupuestarios.Debemos aprender de otros países con transparencia para mejorar.
