Benidorm Curfew/Spanish Lockdown.


Some people are having trouble buying masks. Here is a video of how to make them. Here is some info I picked up from the video:

- From the University of Hong Kong Shenzen Hospital

- Claimed to achieve 90% of the filtering functions of surgical masks

- Surgical masks are preferable in hospitals or clinics

Materials

Kitchen paper; tissues; 4 rubber bands; hole punch; 5cm wide paper masking tape; 2 bulldog clips; scissors;1 plastic coated wire; pair of glasses; plastic file folder.

Method

1. Sanitise your hands and the tools thoroughly.

2. Place one piece of kitchen roll on top of another.

3. Place one tissue on top of the kitchen paper.

4. Cut the pile of paper in half.

5. Tape both side with the masking tape.

6. Punch two holes on each sealed sides.

7. Tape a plastic coated wire onto the kitchen paper side.

8. Tie the 4 rubber bands through the 4 holes.

9. Cut the plastic file folder in half.

10. Clip the plastic sheet onto the glasses with a bulldog clip each side.
 
Spain lock down extended to 26 April 2020

The article here in La Voz de Almería says so.

Here is a Google translation:

It is official: the state of alarm lasts until April 26

RTVE has advanced this Saturday

It is now official: the Government of Spain will extend until next April 26 the state of alarm in Spain. The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has so decided, as stated by RTVE.

This has been announced when they meet, this Saturday, 21 days of confinement with a balance of 11,744 people who died with coronavirus after confirming in the last 24 hours the death of 809 affected by the disease.

In this way, the trend continues downward and is the second consecutive day with a reduction in the number of deaths that reached its peak on Thursday, April 2 with 950 deaths. It is also the lowest figure of the whole week. In total there are 124,736 infected in Spain and there are already 34,219 recovered.

Thanks spanishman

That was always going to be the case

Hopefully, if we see the trend continue (and I think we're still looking at trends rather than absolutes for another week or two) we'll see a gradual and controlled lifting after that

Erimus74 - I agree with what Malaguena says. Only to be expected.

I think when the loosening of the lock down starts I think it may not be a national thing. Perhaps some autonomous regions and/or places may stay in hard lock down longer.
 
Hello guys! I´m back at work now. The Spanish government decided that companies that export are "essential".

I had mixed feelings about going back on Thursday - its good that company is working because it means our jobs are safer but I actually felt vulnerable.

Anyway, its the weekend now and the figures are starting to look a bit better in Spain so maybe the worst is over. I worry about the UK though. They seem so complacent about it and the figures there are heading in only one direction.

I am sort of glad to hear you are back working. Plus sort of not glad. Keep safe is the important thing now.
 
Latest information from the stats man I keep an eye on (google translation):

5 April 2020

Notable falls in cases and daily deaths. Today it is time to apply caution with the reading of the results due to the possible weekend effect, which leads to the delay in accounting and reporting of information. That could mainly affect data from new cases, whose official data could be somewhat below the real ones (and the correction is seen in the data communication on Tuesday).

Taking these caveats into account, let's go to the data.

6,023 new cases. It is the minimum since March 23. 7,026 cases yesterday. 130,759 cases in total. Strong push down of the multiplication rate, to 1.28.

674 died yesterday compared to 809 yesterday. The data may be influenced by the weekend effect, but hopefully little. We were already saying that the drop in new daily cases was going to carry over into a drop in daily deaths in the following 5-10 days. There are 12,418 deaths in total. Also sharp drop in the multiplication rate, which is already below 1.4, to 1.37

As we announced yesterday, we stopped giving information about the valuable evolution data in hospitalization and in the ICU, because the Autonomous Communities are following different accounting criteria, and it no longer allows comparing with previous data in the series, which is essential to calculate well and with sense the multiplication rates ..
 
Google translation of a daily analysis of Spain stats:

Data from Monday, April 6

Yesterday's good data is confirmed and improved. New fall on all fronts. We may have an upward correction tomorrow by accounting for cases delayed by the weekend, but hopefully that bias will be much less for the registry of deceased.

And now, it seems that we are really entering the phase in which the charts with cases and daily deaths do help us explain and understand the history of what is happening. It is less and less necessary to rely on the evolution of the multiplication rate to see that the epidemic is being controlled.

The number of deceased today, 637, by 674 yesterday and 809 two days ago. 13,055 deaths in total. Notable drop in the multiplication rate, from 1.37 to 1.31.

The cases declared new, at 4,237, compared to 6,023 yesterday and 9,222 last Tuesday. The data from tomorrow and the day after will be essential to see if we confirm the takeover of the epidemic. 135,032 cases in total. Lower the rate a lot, to 1.22.

Just a quick note about exercise. We have recently been doing some exercise on our terrace. Rather than in the apartment. We have just had some good news...

We live on the ground floor and have a shared set of stairs at the front of the apartment. Down to a small garden and the shared swimming pool (closed at the moment - would be closed until 1 June anyway). We share the steps with neighbours who are Irish who are over in Ireland at the moment. With their permission we have been allowed to use these steps in our exercise routine.

Just an example of how we can still exercise without putting others at risk. We only go down to 2 steps from the bottom. So if anyone comes round the side of our apartment block we can keep a minimum 2m distance from them. FrontSteps.jpg
 
A Google translation of the summary of my Spanish stats guy.

Data from Tuesday, April 7

The mystery of the weight of the weekend effect has already been resolved: the trend continues to be very strong, despite the already so many times anticipated upward correction today (and therefore, the data for the last two days).

Where there was more risk was in reported cases. They have gone to 5,478 today from 4,273 yesterday. If we look at the chart of new daily cases, those 5,500 cases have maintained the daily fall rate very well for the past 7 days. Last Tuesday we had 9,222 new cases, 3,700 more than today. The multiplication rate drops to 1.19.

As we repeat so many times, as long as the criteria for applying daily tests do not change much and we do not go through a phase of massive testing, the fall in cases announces the fall of the deceased in 5-10 days.

The deceased also rose, 743 to 637 yesterday. We will see in the next few days what the fall trend is. The rate drops to 1.26 because the situation is much better than it was four days ago.

Good news from Málaga

Good news from Almería

The article here on the La Voz de Almería site has details:

https://www.lavozdealmeria.com/noti...meria-sin-nuevos-casos-ni-muertes-en-24-horas

Here is a Google translation:

The curve collapses in Almería: without new cases or deaths in 24 hours

One more patient has recovered from covid-19 in the province

The curve of those affected by the coronavirus plummets in the province on a day in which Almería has not added any new contagion or new deaths. Some data that must be taken with caution but that are encouraging after checking the progress of the virus in the daily part provided by the Ministry of Health, in which the good news does not stop there, because a new patient with covid-19 is adds to those who have overcome the disease, who are already 50.

As for the number of hospitalized cases, today they are 154, just one more than yesterday, and of which 32 remain in the ICU, the same figure as this Monday.

In Andalucia

For its part, in Andalusia, the 8,767 affected by coronavirus have already been reached, but it continues to reduce the rate of infections after adding only 186 positives in 24 hours, according to data released at 11:30 am on Tuesday by the Ministry of Health, which represents a significant setback compared to yesterday when it totaled 280. However, the deceased amounted to 528, 37 more than one day to another compared to the 21 that were recorded this Monday.
 
Daily info from my preferred Spanish stats guy

Google translation

Today's data on infections and deaths are bad, because they slow down the fantastic trend of the last four days.

The Ministry of Health stops publishing aggregated data on hospitalization and ICUs because the autonomous communities do not agree on how to account for it. It is deeply regrettable. We stopped publishing them 3 days ago.


From now on I will try to remember to publish his daily stats table.
