okay latest numbers for spain and balearics are out. spain still grows 3% in cases (it's been stable in the last few days), but the last 24hrs has seen the lowest death rate in the last two weeks with 510 casualties.

on the balearics we've only had 19 new cases in the last 24hrs which is only 1.3% growth which is really good.

I'll update the ibiza thread later when ibiza specific numbers are out. I'm starting to feel positive for the balearics - not from a tourism point of view, but from a 'getting life back soon' point of view - at least in some form.

Thats quite good … Means that you can go out still in april , maybe.
Is it possible that the measures loosed at the balearics first ,while the mainland stays a bit longer ?

there is a possibility that when the next extension of the state of alarm happens (because it's unlikely it'll all be lifted completely on april 26), the central government treats the islands (both the balearics as well as the canary islands) differently. currently we're pretty much cut off from the mainland and IF the next two weeks continue in the same manner with very low growth in cases, then I'm hopeful that indeed by the end of april or start of may we might be able to go outside again bit by bit.

the one risk is that next week, non-essential businesses (building work etc) can open again, offices too (wherever 'work from home' isn't possible). restaurants etc still stay shut, but there are fears that this step alone will provoke a bigger growth again. the latest numbers really give hope, but we'll have to see in about two weeks time if the complete shutdown was long enough or if we should have kept it on for longer still.
 
ibiza coronavirus thread updated with numbers and some links to news. while it might not be looking great for tourism this year, at least the numbers of cases are looking very promising here now. another day without any new detected case which makes it four days in which we've only had one new case!

If it goes like this in future , Ibiza and Formentera can be the first virus free area in europe. Dont know how long it lasts if the infected people are rid of it , but thats the day ...

What’s the population of Ibiza in the winter? About 10,000?
 
I’m not putting this here to provoke, but it’s something we mentioned a few weeks back about indirect issues. I had to get a recurring prescription over the phone from my doctor (an old knee injury). He’s open over the public holidays and said he has appointments open every day for the next few weeks. Nobody is booking anything, which in itself concerns him.

I've just came back away to work this week, left home Tuesday.

I was home for 3 weeks, literally got home just before the UK lockdown. I can honesty say I think it's been 3 weeks that has changed the UK.

Not sure how long I will be away but I'm confident I've got my little family into a good routine and they can make it through this while I'm away and they are still alone on lockdown. Told them they need to stick together and work together for each other. ?


8 year old daughter - handling it pretty well. Like a bit of an adventure. Was getting up early every day with me and we had tea and toast for brekky. Misses everyone and cries a bit when she remembers we are in lockdown. Writes letters to her Grandparents and we go around and post them and wave through the window as part of our daily exercise. Also loves doing Joe Wicks type workouts in front of the TV with some little mini dumbbells. Hilarious to watch, however I'll be very surprised if my TV screen isn't cracked by the time I get home! ?‍♂️

15 year old daughter - holy shit! Anyone else got a teenage kid? Are we allowed to beat them? Asking for a mate (joking btw). This lockdown hit her hard. Shes a very sociable and popular kid, so has found this harder than the rest of us I think. About 3 days in she went in a bit of a strop and said she was going out with her friend to the shops. Had to sit her down and spell out what this is all about, daily death rates in Italy etc. She burst out crying. Think I went in a bit too hard. Shit. She went into a bit of a quiet moody spell for a week. Critical time for her at school and she enjoys her studies and also her gymnastics. Obviously she's missing having this stuff in her life and its a bit of a nasty shock for her. Happy to report my last week at home she pulled it around and got into a better routine. Stopped being a stroppy teenager and got more involved with us, and has become generally happier. I think the break from her friends is actually doing her good. Teenagers are ars eholes.

Mrs AntonioG - Initially had a massive panic on over the whole thing. Naturally something like this triggers peoples anxieties. If overthinking was an Olympic sport she'd have several Gold medals already. Joking aside, shes actually shown she is very resilient and has adapted really well to the whole thing. She works in a special needs school and had been doing one day a week, but is now working from home as its much safer.

Myself - Well, what can you do? You just have to get on with it I suppose. Its hard to watch your family dealing with something like this, I mean physically its very easy just staying home. But the mental duress and uncertainty is something that has got to them. I found when I was home I had been training a lot harder, putting more into my running. Usually in challenging times its my default setting. Keeps my mind sharp.

A crazy flipside to this is I have spent 3 good weeks with them. Quality time with no distractions. Usually they are at school and work and the hussle and bustle of daily life can get in the way. Suppose you have to enjoy these things while you can, in light of the ongoing situation.


General observations so far:
  • Next time there is any word of a lockdown coming, I need to get a haircut first. Got a massive bouffant ket wig going on here.
  • Home schooling is not my forte. Could maybe scrape by as a PE teacher. Genuinely concerned about this.
  • I hate Facebook. Or mainly the know-it-all bell ends that never stop dripping on.
  • I hate shopping more than I did before.
  • We generally only buy what we need and don't hang about in the supermarket. Literally go, grab what we need then leave (paying obviously)
  • The kids are awesome at doing house chores. Keen as mustard and they are quick learners. What a result. I like this. Massively.
  • We were watching the daily govt corona-virus briefings religiously every night. Volume up, phones down.
  • The garden is looking amazing.
  • I'm banned from the trampoline for life.

Hope you're all keeping well ??

Superb. :lol:

When this is all over need have a beer mate!

I’m in Wallsend and if your family need anything when your away and your stuck give me a shout.

I’ve been watching Star Wars from the start with my four year old which has been magic, watching the films together then an hour of light sabre fights when I come home from work :lol:

Also started doing some 5K runs and challenging myself that way.

Really good for you do this!
I ve made it a priority to spent alot of time with my parents and especially my father the last 15 years. Visiting for dinner, helping out with fixing house, garden, car, shopping and so on. When my father passed away I felt ‘ok’ with it because we shared so much and , he had done it all , and was ‘ready’.
 
The rule for only going out for exercise, I'm sure some people don't get or have zero brains/common sense.

Saw a father with 2 young children sat by the river bank, and then proceed to move and sit *on* thr river bank foot path people use for 20 mins?‍♂️

And then I see a group of 3, 2 men and one woman. The woman was in a full length black evening dress. I mean if you are going out for 'exercise' at least try and look the part ?

Completely get why people want to go out, but still?‍♂️
 
on national TV they say French Lockdown will be extend and confimed next monday
they allow people do go out for a run b4 7am and after 7pm but realised lot of people in Paris after 7 pm and not sticking from safe distance
i guess France will be in lockdown until end april, back to office may 4th?

For holiday, they say frontiers may be shut until sept in all europe...for optimistic people hoping to get to ibz july aug, u may say adios
