The Army in Spain found a care home abandoned. It was just before the shit really hit the fan there. So what I've found is once that happens for some reason news stops being reported on in the country.

Anyway.

They found a care home with no staff working at it. They had just left it and let the old people inside die. Think there was an outbreak of a couple of residents and then the workers left. Some died of the virus and some died of starvation.

It's a MASSIVE scandal in the western world. Some of the stories coming out are pretty bad.

I don't like to go into theories too much in the subject as its a very real subject for a lot of people. But if I was trying to spread a virus I would target care homes. Its something I thought about 2 months ago as a method for Trump haters to target America. Just a thought.

Our elders are our greatest treasures. Their collective wisdom gathered in their lifetimes is priceless. The anecdote from Spain is unfathomably tragic.

Hug your parents if you still have them! Just wash your hands and face first!

Don't get me started on Spain.

Aside from the scandal in the residencía, the lockdown order has totally disrupted Spanish culture.

Spanish social life takes place outside of the home. They have social and athletic clubs, neighborhood bars, church. All that has been taken from them.

They applaud for health care workers from their balconies at 8pm and beat pots and pans in protest at 9pm.

The children haven't been outside for 40 days. On Monday, they're supppsed to be allowed out for a kilometer walk as long as a parent is with them. But the rest of us can go hang until the government decides we can take a walk.

Yes, sorry. I've mentioned it many times but forget there's always fresh eyes.
