Katie continued with her daily routine: she woke up, got ready, called her mother (to see how she was doing), and then she went to work. That's how her days were for a month since she had heard the breaking news. So like any other day, Katie drank a coffee and went straight to the hospital, when she arrived there, she noticed that something was wrong. Katie began seeing all the doctors, patients, and secretaries wearing masks. She approached her friend Tyler and asked him why they were all wearing masks. Tyler replied: "didn't you hear?, the coronavirus has already arrived at our country, at this moment there are 13 cases", Katie could not believe that it was all real, and that idea terrified her.
At that moment Katie knew that everything was going to change, she had the feeling that she was going to see many people dying and that was scaring her, especially because she did not want anything to happen to her mother. Regardless of the danger, she remembered how beautiful it was to help other
people, to see how she could change their lives and make them better, to see how she had the ability to heal noble and kind-hearted people, and realized that she was going to be there for whatever could happen in the hospital. She took all that fear that was inside of her and she threw it away; she promised herself that she would get out of that situation and that she would help each person who needed help. Despite everything, Katie didn't want to give up on her dream of finding a cure for diabetes, but that meant that she was going to have a lot more work and that her life was going to change from now on.
From that day on, Katie began getting up earlier than usual, she wanted to take advantage of her mornings to find a cure for diabetes and the rest of the time she would use it to help all the patients she had in the hospital since the coronavirus was going to exacerbate the situation in the hospital.
Those last few weeks had been very difficult for her, she was barely sleeping because she was working most of the time, and the few hours she had left, she spent them looking for that much-desired cure. She was basically sleeping 3 hours a day and that made her mood vary a little because she was always exhausted and very frustrated that she couldn't find the cure. A few days later Katie went to meet her mother, to see how she was doing in the whole situation and to emotionally support her. They met in a cafeteria on Katie's day off. Katie came with dark circles and hunched over, she was very tired, in the previous days she practically had not slept at all. When her mother saw her, she realized that something was wrong, her daughter was looking well at all. Her mother was very worried about her so she decided to ask her if everything was fine, Katie told her that everything was fine; the only thing was that she had not slept for a few days because she had been very busy. Katie's mother knew that she was in
