I caught an interview of a Spanish nurse on the news yesterday saying they had no PPE too

Yes. It is a very mixed picture depending on where you live. Also, there is some confusion over tests they bought from China. The first batch did not appear to work properly. There has been a debate about whether the doctors did not know how to do the tests properly (RTFM) - that was what the manufacturer was saying. So they are doing further tests with the next batch at the moment I believe.
 
Numbers still increasing a lot in Spain. The good news is that the rate of increase continues to drop daily...

This is why everyone must obey the lock down as tightly as possible.CoronavirusSpainStats1April2020.jpg

Not sure where The Olive Press sources it's info (I notice it says it's an Expat paper) but these stories don't fit at all with what's being reported in the Spanish media here in Malaga city - exactly the opposite in fact

I honestly do not know. It looks like they are national figures that they have looked at. Then put a focus on your area as I believe that is where their main offices are. If you have evidence from other papers saying they are wrong then we should send it to them.

I know that my missus saw a similar story about Murcia. I will try to find it.

# I will resist 2020, the hymn recorded by more than 30 artists to beat the coronavirus together.

Participating in the hymn: Alex Ubago, Andrés Suárez, Álvaro Soler, Blas Cantó, Carlos Baute, Conchita, David Bisbal, David Otero, David Summers, Despistaos, Diana Navarro, Dvicio, Mariposa Effect, Hall Effect, Ele, Georgina, India, Jose Mercé, Josemi Carmona, Manuel Carrasco, Melendi, Mikel Erentxun, Nil Moliner, Pastora Soler, Pedro Guerra, Pitingo, Rosana, Rozalén, Rulo, Sofía Ellar and Vanesa Martín

Promoted by Cadena 100, all these musicians and artists come together under the production of Pablo Cebrián to get this Resistiré, with which all funds will be for the benefit of Cáritas.


I will now be buying a copy of this. So it can replace the original version when I play it loud from our terrace at 20:00. As a thanks to everyone who is working on our behalf.

Beyond the headline figure, there is some good news - "despite another day of tragic figures, the statistics provided by the Ministry of Health confirm that Spain reached the peak of infection last week and that the pandemic, after a few days of apparently contradictory figures, is now beginning to slow down"

This though .... "..... this means that one in every 450 Spaniards has tested positive for Covid-19, though the real number of infections is undoubtedly much higher"

:oops:
 
Just received this from Linea Directa. Our car is insured with them....

Dear Customer,

We know that things are difficult right now. For some, working remotely from home, but without being able to hug loved ones. For others, the situation is far worse.

Línea Directa would like to show its support for customers, employees and the general public by making this situation a little bit easier to cope with. These are the latest measures we have put into action:
​
  • We have offered our fleet of 80 replacement vehicles to the Health Authorities, at the Community of Madrid and Catalonia for the sole use of public health personnel
​

  • Our Customer Service Centre is now available to the Health Authorities, manned by Línea Directa employees with years of expertise, to help communicate with patient’s families and answer queries from the general public about the coronavirus.
​

  • For policyholders that are Self-employed and have been forced to cease activity, we are providing a flexible payment package so that their insurance premium won’t be an extra burden.
​

  • For all customers, we are paying upfront for the cost of any repairs to their vehicle or home, and any claims for damage will be quantified using video or photo, thereby ensuring that everyone remains at home.

Finally, we would like to state that our 2,400 employees are at your service, working remotely as imposed by the state of emergency on March 14th.

Even though sometimes this situation may appear never-ending, we are now one day nearer its finish. And as with your car, your motorcycle and your home, that is something we can also assure.

There’s one day less.


Thank you,
Miguel Ángel Merino

It is very strange to be thinking things are improving when so many people are still dying.
 
Over 100,000 infections and over 9000 deaths now, but "The fact that the pandemic is now heading towards the control phase is also demonstrated by the volume of daily hospital discharges, which is breaking all records. In just 24 hours a total of 3,388 people have been declared healthy. This is a daily increase of 17 per cent, higher than on previous days, bringing the total number of discharges to 22,647"
