Today (I) woke up without spirits, (I am) very sad because the situation in panamá is bad. Every day we have more cases of corona virus and more death.

I close my eyes and want that the days pass quickly. I would like that is a only dream. I'm not sure what you meant by this, do you mean "I wish this was only a dream"

I love my family and be time with they. You might have meant to say "I love my family and spend time with them"

My brother is sleeping and the time is 1:48 pm, during the weekend he sleep~~ing~~s all day because in the week he studyies at university and he has homework in the computer at night and for this he sleeps late.

I like to listen music and watch movies or series at Netflix.

Your English is descriptive and easily understandable, and your sentences are very good!

Dear Zuleyma,

These are scary times, and I am sorry that you feel sad and afraid. I hope that you and your family and your friends are OK. We are here for you.

Your writing is very good. I made some changes:

1) 'Today I woke up without spirit' - 'spirits', plural, can be slang, and it means alcohol. But if you do not have 'spirit', singular, it means you are sad.

2) Your brother is 'sleeping' right now, in this moment, so you can use present continuous (-ing). When he has a schedule, he 'sleeps', and you can use the present simple.

3) 'series' is a hard word in English! It looks the same, singular or plural: 'series'. So, 'Netflix has many series' (plural), but also 'I think The Witcher is a great series' (singular).

I do like The Witcher (Saga de Geralt de Rivia), and I think The Good Place is also very good. If you watch them, I hope you like them! :)

Be safe, Zuleyma. If you have questions, I am here.

All the best,

Julie
