This past Monday at ‘El Gordo y la Flaca’ Lili Estefan and Raúl de Molina got into an argument where they both had points of almost opposite views , were they talking about entertainment?, about gossip?, about a celebrity?… No! of COVID, social distance, vaccines and protocol.

While Raúl, defended following the protocols, the vaccine and all the necessary advice to protect ourselves from contagion, Lili surprised by saying: “Whoever wants to go out should go out and have fun.”

Why did La Flaca dare to share such a different thought from the What do the rest of the communicators maintain, especially the Univision network where all kinds of prevention campaigns have been carried out?

It is that they were talking about a festival that took place over the weekend in Los Angeles, with several of our artists, and in the images they shared, it looked like the public, which was a lot, they were without social distance and a large amount without mouth cover.

While De Molina was scared and worried about the images before, Lili invited him to relax a little because, according to his point of view, very different from that of the doctors: “If you He treats it like a common cold, it gets weaker”.

Raúl insisted on asking her if she really agreed that people should go out without following the protocols, and if there were any doubts, she said yes again , that you have to enjoy and not worry so much about COVID infections, well According to Lili, two years locked up was more than enough .

But the topic did not end there, later they talked about it again COVID when Raúl said that his wife wanted to go to a meeting in a house where no one was vaccinated, and that he did not allow it because they risked getting infected.

Lili’s reaction was even more striking: “Rauli I don’t know if you heard that in December all those who were vaccinated also got COVID”.

De Molina continued to defend the importance of being vaccinated, and gave the example of a presenter, who was hospitalized with the virus,

but since he had all three doses he was able to save his life…. What did Lili tell him? “She was saved by the vaccine, she was saved by the vaccine, not by the immune system”, ironically .

The festival that sparked this discussion among the hosts of Univision’s afternoon entertainment show was held in Los Angeles. Yesterday we told you that the increase in said city is taken as alarming.

El Condado of Los Angeles increased by 10 times the cases of daily COVID infections in a month, according to figures from this Monday provided by the Department of Public Health of the region.

The authorities notified 31,576 new cases, about 10 times with respect to the statistic that was reported on 17 December, when the department reported 3,564 infected.

Hospitals have this Monday 4, 564 patients hospitalized due to the disease, which represents 6 times the number that was reported a month ago when they had 772 people hospitalized.

The positivity rate is at 16.5%, more than 8 times the 2% that was registered on 17 December.

The increase in daily cases in the county is due to the presence of the Ómicron variant, which is more transmissible than previous strains of the SARS CoV-2 virus.

And even more so in the case of inviting people to relax and have fun, it must be taken into account that last Saturday the authority reported 66 people who died due to the coronavirus.
