The journalist Helena Resano is one of the more than 600,000 people infected with coronavirus that has been registered since the pandemic began in our country. This Wednesday, the presenter of the news of The sixth was in a program of that chain to tell in the first person how bad it can be to go through this disease and denounce the mismanagement of the Community of Madrid.
Their 18-year-old daughter had symptoms that they thought “it was a cold or sore throat” but the whole family had a PCR. Resano, who was asymptomatic, was tested at the company and 24 hours later he already knew the result: it was positive. Her daughter, who was tested at the health center, had the same diagnosis but did not know it until 5 days later and her husband and son had to wait 8 days to find out that they were also infected. She knows she is lucky to have had the opportunity to do the PCR at the company quickly. But he criticizes that the deadlines are so slow in public health and the situation in which health professionals find themselves again: “In the health center they are collapsed. They do not give enough, they are doing thousands of hours. All that work and deployment of personnel and resources is not working for anything. “
Resano also explains that during this time no tracker has contacted them and the risk that this entails, added to the delay in results: “We could have continued to spread, but fortunately in my case there was a PCR in my company that helped us to confine ourselves and then to notify our own contacts “.
“My 18-year-old daughter was ill, a healthy girl, with no previous pathologies”
The journalist has also shared the moments of anguish she has experienced due to the health of her 18-year-old daughter, the only one in the family who did have symptoms of the disease. A healthy girl, without previous pathologies: “There have been three days that were worrying. Emma has just turned 18 and was really bad, with a very high fever, she could hardly move, we had to do it between my husband and I, bathe her … constantly falling asleep, with a lot of pain and never going back, “she said.
Resano confesses that he came to fear the worst: “Fortunately I have a doctor brother and friends who were guiding us, but there was a moment that we thought was not going to go back “. They told him that the fever would begin to go down and, from the third day, it did.
