"I am very sorry and helpless, because my father was well, in a residence in Albacete, and it was very fast. My sister gave her time to say goodbye, because the doctor told her at lunchtime. I arrived two hours later, shouting 'Chapi', which is what they called him, and he no longer answered, "he summarized.

The technician looked for all the possible options to save his father, but neither the calls nor the ideas changed the situation: "I looked for a respirator in Albacete, I asked the doctor, friends there, friends in Madrid ... But Spain He has a complicated situation . I also looked for how to take him to Madrid, but the doctor did not advise me to transfer. There were no respirators anywhere . The system is overwhelmed and I am nothing more or less than anyone. Only a citizen who was looking to give him a opportunity to my father. "

The next morning, doctors notified his family that the man had died. "Inside the bad we were lucky, we were lucky to be able to fire him. We went to the wake for four people, without hugging each other and wearing masks. Very hard ."

Her father was 85 years old, and Denia assures that "he would still be alive if not for the coronavirus ." "The government must make an effort to do the maximum number of tests possible."
