Chinese folk wisdom has a saying that has been repeated ad nauseam: every crisis is an opportunity. This is not to say that crises are to be welcomed, as they are, whether we like it or not, a time of social, economic and even personal heartbreak. But it is true that every period of crisis leaves behind innumerable changes that in some cases represent progress in many areas and progress for the world.
¿Puede ser este el caso que nos ocupa con la crisis del denominado «coronavirus» COVID-19, que nos ha puesto en jaque a escala mundial en unos niveles sin precedentes en la gestión de un desafío sanitario? Es pronto para saberlo, pero son cada vez más voces, y muchas de ellas autorizadas, las que avanzan que esta crisis tan inesperada como fortuita puede tener como consecuencia una aceleración en el cambio de modelo económico y social que se viene apuntando desde hace años: la Transformación Digital de la sociedad, de la economía y de las relaciones personales con un grado de profundidad inédito.

In all cases, they talk about the reasons for a comprehensive digital transformation, however long it takes to happen: more efficiency, greater convenience and a better customer experience.
These are some of the digital 'facts' of this unprecedented health, logistical and economic crisis:
Data: multiple origins.
Infographics: own elaboration.
