2020, when the coronavirus was causing hundreds of deaths per day in Spain, Cristina, our K2.0 colleague from Spain, was discussing troubles with her mother in Ibiza over the phone.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThousands of people have died, most of them elderly, and nobody cares just because they are old!? Imagine if thousands of children died instead, within only two months! This is a massacre,\u201d she told her daughter from their family home on the Mediterranean island.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was already clear that the elderly were most vulnerable to the virus,while the pandemic was rapidly making the rounds in some EU countries like Italy, Spain and France.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Hans Henri P. Kluge, Regional Director for Europe of the World Health Organization <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.euro.who.int\/en\/health-topics\/health-emergencies\/coronavirus-covid-19\/statements\/statement-older-people-are-at-highest-risk-from-covid-19,-but-all-must-act-to-prevent-community-spread\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">said<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in April that observations in Europe show that the elderly are much more prone to the severe illness caused by COVID-19. He says that the overwhelming majority of coronavirus victims were older than 60, with the risk increasing for individuals who have at least one pre-existing condition \u2014 cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes in particular \u2014 that primarily ail older people.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With these statistics in mind, Cristina\u2019s mother\u2019s words further intensified the fear of indifference for older generations. After the confirmation of the initial COVID-19 cases in Kosovo, lockdown and quarantined municipalities during spring, K2.0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kosovotwopointzero.com\/en\/i-was-young-then-i-could-run-away\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wrote about the experiences of the elderly in the country<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 who were advised to shelter in place except in case of emergency.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The economy gradually reopened in June, and what seemed to be a calm start to the summer turned into the accelerated transmission of the virus all over the country during July and August. The public health system experienced a crisis when confirmed COVID-19 deaths increased daily.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the new measures that eased certain restrictions were introduced during the summer, a curfew that targeted older people was always in place, meaning that they were only allowed to move freely in the early morning and in the late afternoon.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

already been a few months since people began coexisting with the virus, there was no social discussion about how the continuous changes of measures were affecting the elderly in communities and families alike. Thus, we decided to once again direct our attention to the elderly, this time by spending more time with them to explore the feelings of stigmatization, exclusion, discrimination, isolation and loneliness during the pandemic.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, we ended up exploring old age itself.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a whole month, we spoke to women and men over the age of 65 in the parks and public gardens of Prishtina\u2019s neighborhoods, places that are traditionally frequented by the elderly of the capital, and then went to other smaller villages and towns in the country.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We were acquainted with the irritation of patriarchal men in their struggle to protect their damaged authority following their noninvolvement in the economy, and the vivacity of women who need not worry about the preservation of a power they never had. We were acquainted with the feeling of being useless and a burden when pensions do not even suffice for birthday presents for nephews and nieces, when sons and daughters choose to challenge the old custom of living in a large family and the state does not intervene for more dignified care.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We were closely familiarized with yearning and melancholy, fear and loneliness. We learned about stories of progress and stories of failure, with those who dread addiction and being passed over, and with those who anticipate old age as an important part of life.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But regardless, we only managed to scratch the surface of what it means to grow old in Kosovo. But one thing seems clear: \u201cNo one should be alone in their old age,\u201d as Ernest Hemingway\u2019s Santiago in \u201cThe Old Man and the Sea\u201d pondered.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This adage is confirmed by the protagonists of our story: Drita and Mustaf\u00eb.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5666b1b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5666b1b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d275fbd\" data-id=\"d275fbd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18c9a21 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"18c9a21\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.kosovotwopointzero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/FLIM5184-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-56827\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">73-year-old Mustaf\u00eb Krasniqi lives alone in Llukar village near Prishtina. <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-247c2cf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"247c2cf\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5b7050c\" data-id=\"5b7050c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8ed074 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d8ed074\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Mustaf\u00eb\u2019s story<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exactly a few minutes before the clock hits 5 p.m., Mustaf\u00eb Krasniqi queues in front of the Social Center for the Elderly in Prishtina, on the road named after the widely known Llapi Mosque, a few hundred meters away from the old municipality building.
