QUARANTINE - QUARANTINE
Quarantine, in medicine, is a term to describe the isolation of people due to illness for a non-specific period of time to avoid or limit the risk of spread the aforementioned disease.

On this occasion, the quarantine that we suffer throughout the planet is unknown to date because we have never been so globalized. The Covid19 will certainly make us stronger and hopefully wiser too. Perhaps it is time for humanity to consider a revision of the value scale that has led us to outrageous consumption that depletes the planet and its resources.
