Hi
I posted over the last few weeks about Spain in various threads, but it might be time to open a specific thread. One can reflect on the costs of the lockdown.
It's been quite strict here, non essential businesses largely closed, kids weren't allowed in the street for 6 weeks - a bit more for most kids who were locked in as soon as the schools closed - and adults will be allowed to go out alone for a jog or a stroll from this week end, after 7 weeks quarantine.
A deescalation plan was just introduced by the government. A beauty for the enemies of freedom.
Mostly copying and pasting what I posted in the Sweden thread
Sorry something wrong on my keyboard and I can't find question marks anymore, they show as _
Spain, a EU and Shenghen member, came up with a lockdown deescalation plan
Borders to be closed until at least end of October, Spanish folks locked in the country and foreigners can't visit. A measure already considered nonsensical by swedish authorities, as the virus is widespread.
People will be allowed to go out by themselves to stroll or jog from this sunday, possibly having to obey to a government imposed schedule, like 6am -8am to stroll or jog, 8to 10 to go to work, 10am to 1pm for kids under 5 y o, 1 to 4pm to allow municipal employees to clean the streets etc... Not clear when one will be able to go and meet a friend, hopefully it will follow shortly
It seems here in Spain, the government still has hope, or claims to have, to make the virus disappear. Today a study came up with november 28th as the date of the last infection in Spain. How more absurd can one get _ And what would they plan to do in that case _ Keep the country like a large jail as any contact with overseas could bring back the virus _
Schools not to reopen before September
Most shops to reopen in various steps and degrees of restrictions if all go well over the next couple of months.
Some sports are to reopen slowly, within 2 months there might be sporting events with public, as long as each spectator enjoys 20sqm to themselves. They seriously wrote this.
There's no plan yet to reopen contact sports - which sucks big time for us.
In case infection numbers increase, those stunning relaxations in rules could be cancelled and a strict lockdown reinstated
It all looks like hell. A virus with 99.5% survival rate was enough for a whole country to give up its cultural traits and freedom.
Not clear to me how Spain did fuck up so much, or what it plans to achieve with locking the country indefinitely but I really can't fathom how this lockdown would be worth the cost.
