That of Fernando Simón (56) is, without a doubt, the face of the coronavirus crisis in Spain. From him his messages are analyzed every day , in a political and health key, and also other more frivolous issues such as his hair, his clothing or the life that the director of the Coordination Center for Alerts and Sanitary Emergencies of the Ministry of Health led before becoming in someone so popular.

From him we know that he is from Zaragoza , the son of a psychiatrist, who has worked for many years as an epidemiologist in different African countries, who is married and has three children; who is a fan of Eric Clapton and Van Morrison and who among his favorite writers is Saramago. He eats and sleeps little and his hobbies include sports , particularly sailing, basketball and climbing.

And it seems that, according to Marca , Simon, Doc , as his friends call him, is not bad at climbing that vertical wall. "Of the veterans of the group, he is one of the best. He has been coming here for more than 10 years, although occasionally he disappears. When the Ebola thing happened, he was a long time without coming. [...] He even brings his children some time ", tells the sports newspaper a colleague of Simón from the Espacio de Madrid climbing wall.

Joaquín Colorado, his climbing teacher at the aforementioned Madrid center, confirms the skill of the expert who leads the process of the Spanish de-escalation: "He is an impressive student. When you see the first movements of a novice you know where the shots are going to go , and with Fernando I thought something like 'this one is going to climb very well'. [...] He has won titles in the category of more than 50 years, but that is not the most important thing from a sports point of view ".

Colorado also praises the personal facet of SImón, with whom, after so many years shared, he has established a relationship beyond escalation. "When something seems impossible, the first to solve it is Fernando; his climbing abilities are parallel to his personal qualities"
