They were scarce at first. We can get them now. The first we got were 4 euros. The next ones were 3 euros.
So we are lucky in two ways now. 1 - we can get them. 2 - they are now going to be reasonably priced.

I guess I´m really lucky here then! Where I work we use them anyway because we have a clean room for production of electronic parts. They are not freely available now though - you have to ask for one. Before there were boxes and you just helped yourself. Which I did at the start of the crisis so we have a handful at home.

Data from Friday, April 24
First the important thing: the advance that was needed appears, with the drop in deaths below the bar of 400, at 367. They are 73 fewer than yesterday. That new lower echelon that was sought, to avoid entering stability as is happening to Italy. 22,524 in total. The multiplication rate is maintained at 1.08.
The dance comes, one more day, and they go ... from the accounting of the positive cases. New change of criteria with respect to yesterday, which in turn is different from the day before yesterday. They now take as a reference a total number of infected people including people with "positive antibodies without symptoms at the time of diagnosis." The difference between figures is not very relevant (1,700 more cases). But it is seen that the important thing is to try new things.
Now they are 219,764 infected in total. With respect to the official figure given yesterday, of 213,074, the difference and today's new cases would be 6,740. But since they change their criteria and compare it with their new total figure, the difference is 4,229. The multiplication rate with all this goes up to 1.10.
By the way, miracles exist. Today, for the first time in its daily report, the Ministry of Health gives a number of data not in absolute terms, but in relative terms. The percentage of daily increase in cases. How nice it would have been if instead of publishing it on April 24 they had done it a month earlier. Is this:

All joking aside, it'll be weird for her because it will be the first time she's been out of the house for 6 weeks - that's 42 days ! - and I mean literally has not left the house at all. We haven't even got a garden, just a small terrace. At least Dona Malaguena and I have been out to the Pharmacy and/or Supermarket once or twice a week - she hasn't even been allowed to do that.
Of course what she actually wants to do is meet up with her mates, which she still can't do yet, but at least she has light at the end of that particular tunnel as well

Data for Saturday, April 25
It survived as well as it could yesterday's grief of the Ministry of Health, in which it applied a new change of criteria, maintained the two criteria in the official document, reported appearing aggregated data to later rectify them. As it was soon seen that it was a day of occurrences, I gave up following his logic and adjusting the information to his misinformation.
Once the trance has been overcome, what the Ministry communicates today is that at least today it is committed to continuing with the latest version it gave yesterday. I don't spend time explaining what his criteria changes consist of because we don't know how long the changes will take now. Explaining what can change again tomorrow has become an exercise that instead of helping the population, what it does is confuse them more. So I do not collaborate in this dynamic. I show the results without explaining why they are better or worse than the previous ones. (Note: you have not published the official document on the web and on networks, so I am afraid there may be new changes).
The new criterion is not more realistic than yesterday's. Both the number of declared infections and the total deaths are far from reality, which is more serious in both cases (in total numbers). I have already commented on this in shared analyzes on Twitter.
But it is also important to insist on why I give and analyze the official data and I do not dedicate myself to making estimates of more real data, and sharing those "real" data. First, because I am not an epidemiologist. Second, and much more important, because what we need to know now is not the exact number of infected and deceased to know what stage of the epidemic we are in, if we are controlling it and if we can get out of confinement. For this, what is needed is to see the trend with a sample that, even if it is biased, is representative of reality not in its situation, but in its trend. And that basically if we have it with the official figures, as long as their accounting criteria do not change disproportionately. And third, because what I intend to do is to provide complementary visualization, information and analysis to the official data published by the Ministry because it is those data with which the television news and the covers of the newspapers and its website are opened.
That said, the consequence of the changes is that they reduce the number of total infected people by about 18,000 with respect to the series followed until the first statement yesterday. With the new count there are 205,905 total cases compared to 223,795. So far, when they have made these changes, they have not updated the series data from the previous days applying the new criteria. It is therefore a “dirty” series, with data with mixed criteria. As long as Ministry does not make a new official calculation, I have applied a basic adjustment of the series, without any sophistication. I apply the same reduction criteria. In the column "Old cases" are the figures of the official published until yesterday, in "Total cases" are the official figures for the last 3 days and the above corresponds to my own calculation.
The adjustment allows the multiplication rate to be unchanged and altered. As for new daily cases, I do not comment, because it remains to be seen what comes out with a few more days with the same accounting criteria.
In deceased, it is possible to maintain the level reached yesterday: 378 deceased, by 367 yesterday and 440 the day before yesterday. As we said, it allows to settle in a new phase that confirms descent.

Data for Sunday, April 26
Very good data today on the downward trend acceleration. Although it should be borne in mind that we entered the first day of the weekend, with possible underestimation of data registration, especially in relation to cases.
The number of deceased falls surprisingly to 288, from 378 yesterday and 440 from three days ago. Surprising because such a notable drop had not been observed so far in that short period, neither in Spain nor in Italy. They are really hopeful data. It gives a boost to the multiplication rate, which is already down to 1.07. There are already 23,190 deaths registered since the beginning of the epidemic.
The number of registered cases also experiences a notable drop, going from 2,915 yesterday to 1,729 today. Almost 1,200 less. These data are comparable with yesterday's figures when applying the same accounting criteria. The effect also affects the multiplication rate, which goes from 1.09 to 1.07.
The new method of accounting for daily cases of the Ministry of Health continues to generate controversy and cast doubt on whether the data we have now is really comparable to that reported a few days ago. Let us hope that at least they are data that give correct directions to the scientists and experts who are evaluating the next steps to take in managing this crisis.
In any case, the Ministry of Health has cut ties because it has already removed from its official daily document any reference to the figures referring to other cases detected by the serological test system, so it is not possible to recompose the data using the previous criteria. . It will be very interesting to see how the official international data collection centers react, because yesterday they still gave the figure of 219,000 cases, for example in ECDC and therefore in the Johns Hopkins repository, which also gives the figure with old criteria ( 223,000). It will be surprising to see that in the charts with national series of total cases, we will be the only one that suddenly has a drop. Especially since the Ministry of Health has not provided a new series with the data for March and April corrected with the new criteria, but simply the data is reduced from one day to the next.

Data from Monday, April 27
Today's figures confirm the step down data for the past four days. We will see tomorrow if there is any kind of correction to the high after the possible weekend effect.
Of course, new day with news in the daily part of the Ministry of Health. it has finally managed to ensure that all the autonomous communities apply the same criteria to count people hospitalized and in the ICU since the beginning of the epidemic. Well, not all of them, Galicia is missing. He did it on April 27. That information was lost on April 2, which would have been so useful for citizens to see the change of trend in the hospital situation. 25 days.
There are 1,831 new cases in the last 24 hours (+102), and we are still close to minimums. It gives a total of 209,465 infected. The multiplication rate drops noticeably to 1.05.
At the moment, international organizations do not follow the new official data from the Ministry, and publish the data in their series with the previous criteria. The Johns Hopkins University repository assigns 226,629 cases to Spain (data from yesterday). Access here.
331 deaths are reported. They are 43 more than yesterday. What is relevant is that it is now the fifth day in a row that the death toll is below 400. 23,521 deaths in total. The multiplication rate also drops to 1.06.
Progress is made in the exit of the epidemic, each time closer to the multiplication rate of 1.0. But we are not out, and we can go directly into the second wave of the epidemic without leaving the second. Much depends on the measures that are taken. In this thread I argue that we started badly, because the measures for the exit of children to the street have been poorly designed.

GOOD PRACTICE GUIDE FOR DEPARTURES OF THE CHILD POPULATION DURING THE STATE OF ALARM
MEASURE IN FORCE SINCE SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 2020 AT 9:00 AM
INTRODUCTION
Confinement is an extraordinary public health measure adopted by theGovernment of Spain to control the epidemic of COVID-19. At the time current, after five weeks of confinement, given the tendency to improve progressive of the situation and taking into account that the confinement has a impact on the well-being of the general population, some measures of easing.
During this time, the child population has been able to go out for assistance or accompany their caregivers -in the case of having no one to stay with the purchase of essential goods, but has not been able to make exits focused on their own well-being.
Taking a daily walk is beneficial for the health and well-being of the population child since it can improve their emotional health, allows minors to carry a more physically active life and enjoying the outdoors, and prevents some of the problems associated with confinement. In addition, it improves social and family well-being. In turn, it is a measure of equity, since the conditions of the homes and the lifestyles are not the same in every home. Confinement involves uneven impact on the child population living in higher living conditions vulnerability.
Given the benefits associated with the rides, and taking into account the right to protection of the health of the entire population, the right to protection of children and the right of children to leisure and recreational activities, allows for a controlled and voluntary departure from the child population, such as new measure within the Alarm State.
It is important that the departures are made following the indications that are collected in this guide and complying with the preventive measures, in order that in addition to respond to the right to health protection and the improvement of well-being and
development of the child population, be done with the necessary security so that negatively impact the evolution of the epidemic.
INDICATIONS TO MAKE THE DEPARTURES
The exits to the street of the child population must be carried out in a way that, complying with security measures, obtain the greatest possible benefit for the health, well-being and development of the child population. The outputs are
voluntary.
- Children under 14 years old.
Who cannot go out?
- Minors who show symptoms or are in home isolation for
COVID-19 diagnosis.
- Minors in home quarantine for having had close contact with someone with symptoms or diagnosed with COVID-19.
[Consult the decalogue to know how to act in case you have symptoms].
Who can get out?
- Boys and girls will go on their daily walk always accompanied by a person responsible adult (a responsible adult is understood as a person older than age living in the same residence with the boy or girl currently, or who is a person employed in the home by the minor). When the responsible adult be a different person from parents, guardians, conservators, foster carers or
Legal or de facto guardians must have prior authorization from them.
- The departure of a responsible adult with up to three children will be allowed. The accompanying adult will be responsible for compliance with the conditions and proposed limitations.
How long can you go out?
- You can go out for a maximum time of 1 hour, once a day.
Where can you go?
- You can walk up to a maximum distance of 1 kilometer from the residence of the
minor (including natural spaces and authorized green areas).
- Access to children's outdoor recreational spaces will not be allowed (slides, swings), as well as sports facilities.
- It is recommended to avoid crowded areas.
What time can you leave?
- You can leave between 9:00 in the morning and 21:00 at night, in order to Make the departure compatible with the working hours and routines of each family, avoiding well the crowds.
- As far as possible, it is recommended to walk in the hours of sun.
- It is recommended to avoid departures at peak hours of entry and exit of work centers in the area where you live.
What are the necessary preventive measures to control the epidemic?
- It is the responsibility of accompanying adults to comply with the prevention measures during these walks.
- An interpersonal distance with third parties of approximately 2 meters.
- Hands should be washed before leaving and when returning home. It is recommended the hand hygiene (with soap and water or hydroalcoholic solution) when minors cough or sneeze, and also when they touch surfaces that may be contaminated.
[See the video on hand washing aimed at children].
- Children should be taught not to touch their eyes, nose and mouth.
- In the event that you go to places where it is not safe to maintain a distance of approximately two meters between people, it is recommended the use of a hygienic mask (from 3 years) as long as a proper use of it.
For its use, the supervision of the accompanying adult is necessary. Must be Take care not to drop the mask on the floor. If it is not reusable, it must discard at home, in the waste bin or undifferentiated fraction, subsequently ensuring that the bag is tightly closed. [See infographic on the correct use of the mask].
- The exit and entry into the common spaces of the house must be carried out respectfully, following the prevention and hygiene measures, facilitating the living together and trying not to excessively touch the common surfaces.
What to do at the exits?
- Children can run, jump, play and exercise, always respecting the conditions of interpersonal distance with third parties.
- They can go out with their own toys, ride a scooter or bicycle. The responsible adult must be kept at a close distance from the
minors and their toys in order to have control of the situation.
- You cannot stay with friends.
- You cannot do group sports activities.
- Only occasionally you can talk to third parties, but always keeping the distance of approximately two meters. Communication must be brief.
