There is no need

Una vez más tuve que salir de casa. Ver la ciudad vacía me pone un poco triste. La poca gente que había en el metro usaba guantes y cubrebocas. Y aunque parezca extraño no vi ni una rata, parece que ellas también están en cuarentena. Este día también vencía mi MetroCard mensual, ya no habrá necesidad de comprar otra, al menos no por ahora. Ay, mi corazón.

Once again I had to leave my apartment. The empty city makes me feel a little sad. There were a few people on the subway. They were wearing masks and gloves. And maybe this will sound weird but I didn't see any rats. It seems like they are also in quarantine. Also, my monthly MetroCard expired today. There is no need to buy another one, at least not for the moment.
