Had this from my Dad who lives in Barcelona today Covid returns. We have a major outbreak at Hospitalatet de Llobregat which is only 7.5 km away. Locals are expecting a return to lockdown. |

Covered above Dave. I don’t think these new rules are about limiting risk per se but about limiting risk where it has minimum economic impact Can’t open a restaurant with masks. So instead take numbers of one person per booking and have a 1m gap between tables Can have shoppers with masks. Can’t track who else they meet. Can’t guarantee internet shopping for vulnerable. So mandate masks |

Because when you try and drink a beer with a mask on, most of it goes down your front. Unless you get something like this thepatent.news Also, you will (it is expected) be pretty much in one place in a pub, thus mingling with far fewer people. The pub I usually visit is reopening tomorrow, I wish them well, but don't think I'll be visiting for a bit yet, even though I'm pretty sure that Donna, mein host, will be going above and beyond what's required. I am lucky enough to have access to a really nice beer garden, handily located, and a bit cheaper. |

Sorry S, must have missed it. So, it's not being led by science now. But economics. I can sympathise with these decisions somewhat, but I do think that a lot of this is political posturing. Oh, and it's another U-turn. As is the Huawei decision. Good job we've got our sovereignty back, otherwise people may think that they've bowed to pressure from the good old U S of A. Are these lot credible in any way shape or form? |

Sorry, wrong thread. Strayed into Politics a bit (a lot). My bad. |

Is that outbreak a rise in positive tests (as more tests done) or actually a rise in people getting ill - clearly two very different scenarios. Are we forever more going to be locking people down until a vaccine which may or may not work is found so people feel ‘safe’ Welcome to mass unemployment, poverty, worldwide depression, suicide, mass unemployment. The treatment for CV19 is increasingly looking worse than the actual disease. |

Than must never be another generalised lockdown. It would be catastrophic
