“La sabiduría de la vida consiste en la eliminación de lo no esencial. En reducir los problemas de la filosofía a unos pocos solamente: el goce del hogar, de la vida, de la naturaleza, de la cultura”.
Lin Yutang
Cervantes
Hoy es el día más hermoso de nuestra vida, querido Sancho; los obstáculos más grandes, nuestras propias indecisiones; nuestro enemigo más fuerte, el miedo al poderoso y a nosotros mismos; la cosa más fácil, equivocarnos; la más destructiva, la mentira y el egoísmo; la peor derrota, el desaliento; los defectos más peligrosos, la soberbia y el rencor; las sensaciones más gratas, la buena conciencia, el esfuerzo para ser mejores sin ser perfectos, y sobretodo, la disposición para hacer el bien y combatir la injusticia dondequiera que esté.
MIGUEL DE CERVANTES Don Quijote de la Mancha.

Field hospitals are being set up across the United States to deal
with a health care system that appears to be already bursting at the
seams due to the surge of patients infected with the novel coronavirus.
Event centers like the Javits Center in New York City and CenturyLink in
Seattle are being converted into hospitals; Field tents are being set
up in Central Park in New York City; and a fairground in Miami-Dade
county is being turned into a makeshift hospital. Here's a look at how
organizations and the U.S. military are coming together to try to ensure
those infected with SARS-CoV-2 can get necessary treatment.
