Sadly, 85-year-old teacher Armando Manzanero was infected with COVID-19 and things got so complicated that he had to be admitted to a hospital west of the CDMX on December 17.
Until the closing of this edition, the composer was stable, although due to the nature of the virus, the relatives of the Yucatecan are at the bottom of the vessel.
In this regard, a friend of Don Armando told us:
Tell me, how is teacher Armando Manzanero after his COVID infection?
“Thank goodness he’s stable; he’s isolated in the hospital and responds very well to treatment.”
-Do you know how it got infected?
“We think it was in Mérida, where he traveled days before his hospitalization because they paid him a tribute.”
– Did it get bad there?
“Yes, but he returned to the CDMX and they had to put an oxygen tank on him until it was necessary to take him in.”
-What a concern he must have caused his family! …
“Apart from the fact that Don Armando is already 85 years old, he obviously suffers from diabetes, which is very advanced, and that complicates the cases of the coronavirus.”
– With every reason they were concerned! …
“That’s right, and so is the teacher, because because he couldn’t breathe properly and had to use an oxygen tank, he got so nervous that he decided to say goodbye to his wife and children through a video call.”
-So, did you feel like you could die?
“Yeah, that’s why, although he’s always shown them, he didn’t hesitate to talk to them quickly and tell them how much he loves them … and he made them a very special request.”
-What do you mean?
“He asked them that if his health deteriorated, he wouldn’t intubate him because he wouldn’t like to go through that situation.”
-But it would be the way they could save his life …
“Yes, but he is aware that the majority of people who undergo intubation do not survive or have many consequences.”
-And what did your family tell you?
If it was necessary, please don’t rule out that option. They wanted to convince him, but thank God it wasn’t necessary to make a decision on that until now. ‘
-But they’re still pending …
“Of course everyone prays, confident that he will overcome the disease.”
Apparently they are still very concerned …
“Certainly, since they know that you feel good with this virus in the blink of an eye and suddenly become very bad.”
– We saw your daughter María Elena in the hospital …
“Yes, she is accompanying him, as is his wife Laura; although he is isolated, they are both going to check his health. His other children are informed of this by phone as they do not live in CDMX, some of them are in the United States and others in the Republic, ”he concluded.
