we are behind time wise though ,a good three weeks,we should be behind with opening up
You're correct about the recording method. It seems the last few weeks they didn't give daily death tolls, as they wanted to do a thorough audit which yesterday resulted in over a thousand being added to the total. The number of new cases is consistently low although creeping up.I read somewhere a week or two ago that Spain have an unusual method of reporting cases/deaths which probably makes the figures look lower than they really are. They are in a better place with it than us but perhaps not as much as it appears just looking at the stats.
I expect they need to get their economy going and tourism is a fair chunk of that. British people probably make up quite a significant proportion of tourism. I think France, Greece, Portugal, Italy etc are doing the same thing for the same reasons. Cyprus seems to be holding out though.
Give it time. It will happen unless the eeconomy bounces back quickly.I have been very surprised to read that economic depression might not actually lead to a surge in mortality rates.
I had concluded like Trump that must be the outcome. How disappointed I am not only to share a trumpism but to realise donald and I are way off track.
