This planet’s history has been a long and sometimes tortuous one. To date, a total of five disappearances of life on Earth have been distinguished: the great oxidation; the Ordovician-Silurian extinction; the Devonian extinction; the Permian-Triassic extinction; the Triassic-Jurassic extinction; and the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction. The causes? Very varied and diverse: anoxia phenomena in the marine environment, competition between species, climate change, volcanology, meteorite collisions, changes in the orbit or magnetic field, or attacks by microorganisms that have managed to consolidate epidemics().
Nobody would have imagined that in 2020 what happened would happen. The world’s nurses were preparing to celebrate the ‘Year of Florence Nightingale’, their year, and everything was interrupted by a pandemic, similar to the ‘1918 Flu’, which stopped the entire planet. “Death” did not stop its work, which was facilitated by the end of a war never seen until today and health conditions considerably different from those we have today(). Despite having much more resources, health professionals working in the network of the Spanish national health system found themselves defending the population with all their might, and professors, who until then worked in university classrooms, had to go to a ‘distance’ environment to continue monitoring and teaching their students.
