14 de marzo. Las noticias en bucle alternan a Pedro S\u00e1nchez, presidente de Espa\u00f1a, y a Ada Colau, alcaldesa de Barcelona, explicando que es necesario confinarse en casa para protegernos, para evitar el contagio del coronavirus. Otros dirigentes aparecen en escena. En el discurso inicial no hay alusi\u00f3n a las personas que viven en la calle.<\/p>\n

\u00bfD\u00f3nde confinarse, si no hay un techo bajo el que guarecerse en la cuarentena?<\/p>\n

En las calles reina el silencio en la semana cero. Sin tr\u00e1fico, \u00fanicamente el graznido de las gaviotas se escucha en el centro de Barcelona. La batalla se libra en las UCI’s, aunque en Urgencias no dan abasto. Los hospitales colapsados y los sanitarios clamando m\u00e1s material para poder cumplir el protocolo de higiene, el salvavidas ante una enfermedad de la que nada se sabe.<\/p>\n

Todo cerrado hasta nuevo aviso, excepto los comercios reconocidos como esenciales. Controles policiales improvisados. Apenas transeuntes que se dirigen de un lado a otro, cabizbajos con el rostro oculto tras una mascarilla, inspeccionando de reojo el nuevo espacio. Miedo, angustia, recelo, incerteza, rabia, desasosiego y desconcierto. Parados, quietos, solo hay unos pocos. La Barcelona des\u00e9rtica muestra una realidad latente. M\u00e1s all\u00e1 de las colas frente a supermercados, nadie m\u00e1s est\u00e1 quieto. No es posible. El nuevo decreto lo prohibe. \u00ab\u00bfQu\u00e9 hace usted aqu\u00ed?\u00bb interpela un polic\u00eda a un hombre sentado en una plaza.\u00a0\u00abNo tengo a donde ir\u00bb. Algunos se han visto durmiendo al raso por el cierre de fronteras, hoteles y negocios, atrapados en una situaci\u00f3n que no hubieran ni imaginado. Otros, ya viv\u00edan en la calle desde hac\u00eda un tiempo.\u00a0 Inevitablemente los no confinados toman el paisaje urbano.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00bfSabes cuantos muertos van hoy?\u00bb Me pregunta un hombre que pasa las horas bajo un puente, con la mirada fija en una carretera vac\u00eda. \u00abAntes le\u00eda el diario en un bar tomando el caf\u00e9, pero ahora no tengo manera de saber qu\u00e9 sucede\u00bb. A d\u00eda 26 de marzo, eran 4.089. Le pregunto por la caja de cart\u00f3n que se encuentra a pocos metros. \u00abS\u00ed, ah\u00ed duerme un hombre cada noche\u00bb, confirma.<\/p>\n

Cuatro meses despu\u00e9s del inicio de esta nueva era en Espa\u00f1a, en que se decret\u00f3 el estado de alarma, el n\u00famero de v\u00edctimas mortales por el Covid-19 asciende a 28.409. La curva del gr\u00e1fico de positivos hace tiempo que baj\u00f3. Esta cifra no se acerca ni por asomo a las m\u00e1s de 500.000 muertes provocadas durante la Guerra Civil a lo largo de tres a\u00f1os, sin embargo, el n\u00famero de fallecidos ha sido tal en los primeros 40 d\u00edas, desde los 136 el 14 de marzo hasta los 22.524 el 23 de abril, que si perdurase al mismo ritmo a lo largo de tres a\u00f1os, la cifra se igualar\u00eda.<\/p>\n

Mientras se encuentra el ant\u00eddoto para combatir al enemigo invisible que ha cambiado las normas del mundo, las v\u00edctimas sociales por la crisis econ\u00f3mica generada tambi\u00e9n aumentan. Las ayudas gubernamentales no contemplan todos los casos. Cuesta muy poco perder lo que se ha ganado dif\u00edcilmente durante meses o a\u00f1os. Los m\u00e1s vulnerables, personas sin contrato, que se han quedado sin trabajo, sin papeles, o cuyos ingresos no alcanzan los m\u00ednimos necesarios para la supervivencia, poco a poco se van sumando a las personas que ya transitaban en los confines de la sociedad.<\/p>\n

D-Day, hard confinement<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

March 14. The news headlines alternate between Pedro S\u00e1nchez, President of Spain, and Ada Colau, Mayor of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bexplaining that it is necessary to self-isolate at home to protect ourselves, to avoid the spread of the coronavirus. Other leaders appear on the scene. In the opening speech there isn\u2019t a single mention of the homeless.<\/p>\n

But where does one self-isolate, when there is no roof under which to shelter during quarantine?<\/p>\n

Silence reigns in the streets in week zero. No traffic, just the squawking of seagulls can be heard in the centre of Barcelona. The real battle is fought in the ICUs, but ER centres are under-staffed. Hospitals have collapsed and health workers clamour for more material simply to comply with hygiene protocols, the lifesaver in the fight against a disease of which very little is known.<\/p>\n

Everything is closed until further notice, except for businesses recognised as essentials. Impromptu police checks. Hardly any pedestrians, walking from one place to the next, heads down, their faces hidden behind a mask, surveying the new space out of the corner of their eye. Fear, anguish, suspicion, uncertainty, anger, restlessness and bewilderment. Only a very few simply stand still. Deserted Barcelona reveals a latent reality. Beyond the supermarket queues, no one else is standing still. It’s just not possible. The new decree prohibits it. \u00abWhat are you doing here?\u00bb, a police officer questions a man sitting in a square. \u00abI have nowhere to go,\u00bb the man replies. Some have been seen sleeping in the open due to the closing of borders, hotels and businesses, trapped in a situation they could never have imagined. Others had already been living on the street for some time. Inevitably, the unconfined take over the urban landscape.<\/p>\n

\u00abDo you know what the body count is today?\u00bb I am asked by a man who spends hours under a bridge, staring at an empty highway. \u00abI used to read the newspaper in a bar with my coffee, but now I have no way of knowing what’s going on.\u00bb As of 26 March, there were 4,089. I ask him about the cardboard box a few meters away. \u00abYes, a man sleeps there every night,\u00bb he confirms.<\/p>\n

Four months after the start of this new era in Spain, when the state of alarm was decreed, the number of fatalities by COVID-19 totalled 28,409. The curve of positive cases has long gone down. The figure is nowhere near the more than 500,000 deaths caused during the Civil War over a three-year period; however, the acceleration of the number of deaths in the first 40 days, from 136 on 14 March to 22,524 on 23 April, has been so fast that if it lasted at the same rate over three years, the figure would be equivalent.<\/p>\n

While a vaccine is being discovered to combat this unseen enemy that has changed the social rules around the world, the victims of the\u00a0economic crisis also increase. Government aid cannot cover all cases. It becomes all too easy to lose what has been hard earned for months or years. The most vulnerable, those without a work contract, those who have no job, those without regular documentation, or those whose income is below the minimum required for survival, are gradually added to those who were already living on the confines of society, before the crisis.<\/p>\n
