Whilst sat in my office at home procrastinating this afternoon I researched the different ferry and road routes to ibiza. Think the cancellation confirmation of our May flights this week has got to me???

I'm curious to see how many places will remain closed even as restrictions loosen. I have to imagine for many places that running at 33% or 50% cannot make the economics make sense. Remaining totally closed might be a slower cash bleed than operating with minimal income.

I used to really enjoy nerding out over maps. I actually wanted to take the car on the train but never happened sadly

I bet ya if things do go to plan and cases start to rise a lot again they will have to draw some back
They will be monitoring things very closely
I agree they are doing the right thing

Yeah, rightControversial.
Airlines and oil giants are on the brink. No government should offer them a lifeline | George Monbiot
This crisis is a chance to rebuild our economy for the good of humanity. Let’s bail out the living world, not its destroyers, says Guardian columnist George Monbiotwww.theguardian.com
Airlines produce only 2% of the total human-induced CO2 emissions. Seems the author is missing the bigger picture.Quite strange, George Monbiot used to be quite reasonable and even supported nuclear energy in the past.

I can imagine a big foam party with scuba equipment
Should be safe in terms of the coronavirus.
I personally wouldn’t have minded a quick note or live set or a mix.....really anything to let people know he’s still alive after starting his vacation in January.
Enjoyed a bunch of the pandemic live sets from other artists.

First time I went to Ibiza in 2002, went from UK to Ibiza with no planes and just ferries and trains. Took a leisurely couple of weeks through France and then the ferry from Barcelona. Still one of the best trips I’ve done and would jump at the chance to do it again.

If it works it'll shorten recovery times for those affected, apparently does not affect an individual's overall chance for death however.

No, GM complains about everything. That's why I like him. ?
That's great news. Hopefully this is the first domino and we can knock this virus out!

(Off topic.) That time George Monbiot appeared on Newsnight to talk about eating roadkill squirrel.
Reduced death by 30% as well.
Where are you seeing that? This article and another I read say the statistical significance between the placebo and remdisivir groups was negligible. Be great if true

This CNN article: FDA reportedly will approve Covid-19 treatment remdesivir
quotes the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases saying "Results also suggested a survival benefit, with a mortality rate of 8.0% for the group receiving remdesivir versus 11.6% for the placebo group." That works out to about a 30% reduction in the mortality rate.
Looks like the reduction in mortality hasn't been correlated. Hopefully it does account for a reduction. From the Reuters article "The study showed a trend toward better survival for remdesivir - 8% of patients given the drug died compared with 11.6% in the placebo group - but the difference was not statistically significant so may not be due to Gilead’s drug."
There was a Chinese study announced recently where the results were inconclusive, but that trial ended early and there are some concerns around the validity of that study.
The one that showed a 30% improvement against a placebo was an American study that was announced today.
Not a slam dunk treatment, has to be done by IV, but better than nothing.

some early news today
www.periodicodeibiza.es
the balearic government has made a request to the central government, claiming that not only formentera, but also menorca and ibiza meet the criteria and should be going straight into phase 1 this coming monday 4th may rather than only a week later as originally proposed by the central government.
that request was only made last night, see what the central government says to that. if they accept the request it would mean that we'd see shops opening as early as monday and the only balearic island still being in phase 0 would be mallorca (which is also the island that had most coronavirus cases out of all of them).
