Usually they backdate up toa few days, Madrid news might look like this :
"900 new cases in Madrid,blahblah, to which Madrid Health department added 3000 cases from former days"
Not sure about the death count you refer to, it seems it spiked 1 day end of last week particularly, it´s been around 30 for a while otherwise. Case numbers much higher than in the UK, u mentioned Birmingham Locked down for around 150 infections/100k people (over 2 weeks ?).- Today´s numbers for Madrid city put that number there at 673, some districts over 1000.
And yes, what they did with healthcare was quite disastrous when lots of hospitals in the country were underused and the emergency rooms empty during the quarantine. Public healthcare in Spain (population below 50million) was already dealing with long waiting list and they cancelled 550k surgeries between March and May (2 months lockdown). some hospitals in Madrid already restarted cancelling non essential surgeries last month.
Another thing that bugs me is Testosterone levels, it is documented they have roughly halved in the male population since the 1950s (one can double check the exact numbers, I´m writing from memory). Dealt with endos in Spain for TRT and they aim for quite low test levels even with treatment (I´m going around with high test levels). Low test and weak, easily scared population probably go hand in hand. Higher life expectancy might come with lower test levels (low test levels by today´s standards, which are quite low already, are considered unhealthy still), but we see this year at what cost (aren´t humans supposed to have a spine ?). Had we had the same test levels the people had when Spanish flu came out, we might have avoided much of the lockdowns.
239 deaths today in Spain, that's hopefully just a blip, they've tested loads like 200K of positive tests last 28days, so that's possibly normal deaths for 200K maybe ?? Fake 2nd wave ??
People are PUSSYS these days, all on medication for there crippling anxiety and mental health issue.
I blame Pollitically Correctness personally for most of it, they brain wash you how to think, this is good, this is bad, nothing inbetween, you can't say Covid isn't a big deal because people are dying, just because most are 90+ and would of died in a week or 2 anyway, is irrelevant to these muppets. Most of it doesn't even make any sense, job losses, extra deaths being caused, cancers going untreated / diagnosed late, that's not PC OMG people are dying of a virus you can't see, only 10 in the UK yesterday compared to 1600 deaths per day, but those aren't PC either, OMG the 10 had families, but the 1600 nope none PC to even mention.
I HATE PC's!!
