it seems that it's impossible to get through to some Spanish what this is. today we watched several young women arrive in our communal pool and greet the lifeguard with hugs and kisses (no masks over faces) and we have seen others elbow bump and then follow it up with air kisses!! it seems that the mandatory wearing of a mask has removed the thought of keeping distance from others as everyone walks straight at you and as for the numbers who have to smoke a cigarette or use their mobile phones so remove the mask to do so well there are many! The virus seems to be greater in the younger generation now and they are the ones who are the worst at social distancing.

Indeed. This so across Spain where younger people use the mask as a neck warmer and men and women slap hands and hug. This is why there are spikes of infection but ... young people are often asymptomatic and when they have been unwell it’s generally just for a short period and they are fine again. The message for oldies (like me) is to stay safe and away from them - until there is a vaccine. And remember - just 0.04% of the 700.000 that live in Almeria have died.

I will never understand why nightclubs were opened up! " 2 clubs in Mojacar found staff members had it and so shut them for a deep lean....then what did they do yesterday????? Re-opened them!
