En los primeros meses de 2020, la humanidad comenzó a hacer frente al brote de una nueva forma de virus cuyo nivel de propagación lo convertiría rápidamente en una pandemia. Los esfuerzos para prevenir la transmisión del COVID-19 alteraron la vida diaria, y pronto, frases como 'quedarse en casa', 'distanciamiento social' y 'uso obligatorio de cubrebocas', entre otras, se convirtieron en algo cotidiano. Mientras, cientos de miles de personas comenzaban a sufrir los estragos de esta mortal enfermedad. Los hospitales se saturaron de individuos que habían contraído el virus luego siguieron las morgues. Dos años y medio después, en julio de 2022, el número global estimado de infecciones ascendía a cerca de 550 millones, mientras que la cifra calculada de muertes había sobrepasado los seis millones. La COVID-ja de los veinte es el testimonio de un residente de California, Estados Unidos, que estuvo entre los primeros casos de infección y fue internado en un hospital con COVID-19. Su relato adentra al lector a las experiencias de un paciente que, conectado a un respirador artificial, libra una lucha por sobrevivir en dos frentes: el físico y el mental. El recuento de sus sueños y pesadillas que lo acompañaron mientras permanecía inconsciente, revela un lenguaje simbólico que alude a la línea entre la vida y la muerte, así como a la fuerza de la voluntad humana para influenciar el destino. Al compartir las imágenes y sucesos de sus sueños en La COVID-ja de los veinte, el autor nos asoma a una asombrosa experiencia de sobrevivencia. Su batalla motiva a revalorar la vida y aferrarse a ella. ENGLISH: In the first months of 2020, humankind began to deal with the outbreak of a new form of a virus; its spreading pace would quickly turn it into a pandemic. Efforts to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 disrupted everyday life, and soon, phrases like 'stay-at-home,' 'social distancing,' 'mandatory use of face masks,' and others became routine. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of people began to suffer the ravages of this deadly disease. Hospitals became saturated with individuals who had contracted the virus, then morgues followed. Two and a half years later, in the summer of 2022, the estimated global number of infections stood at nearly 540 million, while the estimated death toll had surpassed six million. The La COVID-ja de los veinte (The COVID-ja of the twenties) is the testimony of a California resident who was among the first cases of infection; he was admitted to a hospital after being diagnosed with COVID-19. His story shares the experiences of a patient connected to a respirator and fighting for survival, physically and mentally. The account of his dreams and nightmares while unconscious reveals a symbolic language that alludes to the line between life and death and the strength of the human will to influence destiny. By sharing the images and events of his dreams, the author shows us a fantastic survival experience. His battle should motivate us to reassess life and cling to it.
