Pandemic in the Countryside.

"Pandemic in the Countryside" talks about the consequences of the coronavirus in the countryside in Spain, in a paradigmatic place like is Galicia.

The contact with nature, the silence, the relaxation, the coexistence with animals, the chemical-free food and many etc. are used to describe bucolically the life in the rural. So are, though not so idealized, remoteness and loneliness.

To the isolation of living in a small village we must add the physical separation required by the COVID-19. Especially considering that the vast majority of its inhabitants are elderly people and therefore at risk.

"Pandemic in the Countryside" talks about the consequences of the coronavirus in the countryside in Spain, in a paradigmatic place like is Galicia. It tackles the confusion that the situation we are currently suffering generates in a population used to live in fraternity and of the difficulty in managing it. Let's remember that if this is an unusual scene for the whole society, is overwhelming in these demographic groups.
