Should I come dilemma - Page 11

Just read through all 10 pages here .... I’ll start by saying I have a business, so yes, I very much have a vested interest.

With regards a future lockdown - not from central government as Pedro Sanchez has devolved authority to request state of alarm to the individual autonomous regions.

To that end, please stop blaming “the government” - authority to manage response is devolved now almost entirely to the individual regions.

I’m in Vera.  We had 9 infections here, all linked to a family group - all traced and managed.  I will be VERY happy when September rolls around and the madrileños all go home!

Now the contentious part - future outlook.  How to manage? as a business owner, I have to make the place safe for clients or I will shut down, so we observe all protocols regarding masks, etc - but also hot wash and disinfect the place every night; plus other more esoteric methods :-D

As a business owner, I want to encourage people in and there is definitely a prevailing sense of “I’ll return ‘when I feel comfortable’” ... this is a dangerous attitude because like influenza, SARS, HIRS etc etc this is not going away anytime soon; by waiting until “I feel comfortable” you risk becoming as I’ve said before, like our caveman ancestors who would not venture from their caves in fear the sky would fall upon their heads.

We have to take care, take proper precautions, minimize risk - but we can’t live for the foreseeable future in fear, because the fear becomes established and entrenched and all of a sudden we find our lives irrevocably changed as we become too scared to venture out of our caves.

We have to beat Covid-19, we WILL beat Covid-19 - but we have to live as well.

Hi

I think that if you follow closely the news and information channels that infections are going up. And maybe in your region or place are just a few, you must think about the big picture.

Myself i would like to go and see my family spread over 3 countries. So no family bubble.

If i would go need to do al least 14 days of quarantine in one country. Do i take the risk to hold a family reunion in one place w people from 3 countries and a mother living in a home? I know that i am neither infected or asymptomatic. My gut-feeling says yes.

My logic says no! So i won't go this year, decision taken!

Thanks again for that it's very helpful. I'm edging personally to cut the trip to 2 weeks. The real issue is that whilst the UK FCO rules out all but essential travel all travel insurance is void so that side of the risk is elevated. This leaves only the fall back is the EHIC system which is good...

My husband and I are here in Mojacar again after nine months.  We dithered for ages about whether to risk flying, Ryanair.  We really are so glad we did. 

Flying experience was great at both airports, and onboard.  Car hire was slick for the first time ever.  Mojacar is wonderful.  Same friendly businesses and service, clean and appears very safe....

We are now booked in for more flights, hope to get back on with our lives, safely of course.  Maybe Mathew if you see people not observing rules, try gently educating.  In my experience it often works.  Let's get Mojacar, the place we all love get back on its feet.
