My. Lad. Its noon on one of the last days of april in downtown madrid everything goes quiet every day at 12 oclock people remember the victims of the fires pandemic on this day the ministry of health registers almost 24000 deaths so far. When we started filming for this report spain was in total lockdown one of the strictest in the world. As a journalist im allowed to move around freely in the city where ive lived for 3 years a city i know is noisy fast and brash. With it. But now i no longer recognise madrid is the locals on their balconies feel the sign. Is that it has been locked in for almost 50 days its so. Im hyperactive and i dont know how to do nothing as you know that now that i know everything when our son grows up well tell him how it was to be stuck at home for months without seeing the family the isnt it you know does that seem bad of me yes yes if you start to miss the buzz that vibrancy of the city im sure i miss it terribly miss the misses. At the start of the lockdown the neighbors in the district of prosperity dat loving the declaration to st. They went out on their balconies and ate every evening of the links that others are out there too. I saw the soup to go game boards. Being early start how i. Was. 75 being 75 he was it was yesterday i was here it was a house a very nice yes yes yes. Yes. Yes and today its conscious birthday from number 10. Was. I. Was. Almost every jane theres a little surprise for somebody the neighbors say it offers comfort. And also in our culture everyone is close we always need to touch and to see each other every day as the us. Knows im so grateful to you all the evidence you receive all this is why im sure that normally we would never have met half of all these people before that maybe the ones in that house but the others our paths would never have crossed unfortunately the. Time hope that we stay friends afterwards is this never that its just great that we get along so well if its not me its a miracle for me when im trying as the others. I wasnt in the neighbors Interest Period dad is a ray of hope for us. The weeks all weve been it is you know our studio is peaches of catastrophe. Images from a hospital on the brink of collapse with seriously ill patients lying in the corridor was. Ice rinks serving as cooled makeshift mortuaries because there was no room elsewhere. For the military disinfecting old peoples homes in some of them as soldiers find dead bodies that had been lying in their beds for days no one wanted to touch them for fear of contagion. That is an analyst little source is a geriatric nurse in a suburb of madrid shed rather not say how many people died in her home only that it was too many she suspects that staff brought the virus in in the beginning they didnt even have personal protective equipment. In question as you know when i feared. The management tells us that it would only alarm the old people if they saw us Wearing Masks goggles in 10 Minutes Research on muscat is on the after of course it alarms the elderly a lot of my it but what happened next was much much worse that are different others were told which appeared. The more anna tells me the more i hope that someone like her will be able to look after me if i need it in later years. She works almost full time and earns just a 10. 00 to 40. 00 euros groups and it talks very fondly about the old people when 2 or 3 of them suddenly started dying per day she had panic attacks that night and went back to work in the morning filled with fear. Yet another one had died and her colleagues couldnt even hold their hand. Their hand that they can make a bit of a skit a lot of colleagues say that they cant even cry about it yet because were not they just carry their fears around with their mothers house. I weep often when i suddenly remember what one of these elderly people said or did. Yes we talk about it a lot. See a lot of which weve been here. All these people had to die alone anna says we couldnt be with them and neither could their families. David lopez lost his grandmother in early april she told him she had a bit of a cold 2 days later she was dead she loved to play says she was my best friend he knows nothing about her last few hours only that there was no ventilator for the 96 year old the hospital wouldnt let anyone have access to her. We talked about it in the family and its really harrowing for us. You have someone you love and you dont know how they died not how and whether she missed her family. Whether she could have done with all the warmth. Theyll get someone by her side out of the moment but it wasnt allowed. Antonio getting out was the military arc of the family a passionate football fan her grandchildren went to the stadium with her. In normal times they would have been away from her and a funeral with all the family in the end due to the risk of infection only 3 relatives were allowed to have burial david was one of them. But we werent allowed to decide anything unless the funeral was so sterile that summers 3 people who had to keep their distance from one another to some of them out afterwards all you can do is to write the others a what at message about how it was seen you know and such and such a time they pushed the coffin into the flames we couldnt stand together etc for me it was one awful experience after another its been going. A few days later i was still enjoying the lockdown we had northwest to d. C. And in a monster of a higher up we needed one to speak only one passenger per road is allowed. There are signs of the state of emergency and road chinks in freeway the only people allowed to pass a once in can prove they have to work. But as they are so if they like it its one of them and were filming for German Television how many people 33 rows of seats 3 people from north. America no. Its only cheney who pass through opinion or a village in the middle of a huge forest the whole Village Lives in the team to trade a 1000 inhabitants 9 come from build its one of the factories belongs to host a Luis Gonzalez and his son. For the. In recent business. But now they can hardly keep up with production. Fears there are those who should be clear some of these caught parents before the crisis you have a window on the lid so you can see the deceased one last time maybe earlier. Mentally interior is cushioned and lined with satta. Old armies of waters that will give you the now we have another model. Here the window is no longer needed and for the lining we used biodegradable paper you are the lavish you know wakes are allowed to come out i go to see staff to be cremated and immediately be. These patterns go straight to the crematorium. And about the. Further insaan struggled against competition from china. And to take his prefer to buy their coffins cheap from asia. But once they were to make broke out hardly any imports came into the country and instead of producing 200. 00 is suddenly producing 400. 00 coffins per month the Family Business is managing it with the 3 employees whove always worked here over because there are hundreds of others that weve been working overtime to meet the demand. And weve adapted the production to more basic models partly for speed. Because we couldnt have managed it with the old models over again with the row youve got one of the 2 or 3. Tender personalised details and special requests were possible before at the moment its not in keeping with the times. An hours drive away other arrange to meet up with some old acquaintances. A married couple i know from an earlier film. On the course in months or so and celia balsa did their best to stay active join the lockdown. Sheedy joga while he we discovered his grown up sons old sports equipment. So. Im not allowed into the flat silly used to be a nurse and knows all about the dangers of infection but not everyone takes the rules so seriously theyve been observing this from their window and they just received sometimes you see the same dog outside the whole morning and then again in the afternoon and its always someone different taking him for a walk theyre having a joke that they are. The next morning wholesale in celia are allowed to take this 1st walk for now spaniards are allowed to go out for one hour per day almost 2 months there were only allowed to go out for Grocery Shopping in the mean time its spring and if anything is a little unusual. You have to made out a job this way all the time. And jose hasnt quite got the hang of the mask if youre going to be a no no. Wonder why no. You. Get to try to pick up a good pace but they cant really go further than round in a circle theyre only allowed to move a kilometer away from their flat. Posi is annoyed their own rules everywhere. We feel remember that i can only talk to my children and grandchildren by video at the moment thats how it is right now. There are minor and id love to see them to cuddle them so much. Literature. Caminos to james way goes right to the heart and. From april to november hundreds of thousands of pilgrims crowd through these narrow streets. Now early may not only be peak season but the hostels have all written it off. But i dont know if it was one for our business it means a year of losses total yet the pilgrimage is not happening this year it will be well another bar. Refaeli martins and his girlfriend al decide to narrow wanted to take over this small hostel and 2 others from parents they worked on the guest rooms all Winter Spending 25000. 00 euros on the renovation now they have revenues 0 they need a plan b. You know i could go back to the construction site and could go back to work as an occupational therapist i think then we can live for a while from our all jobs that. By founder and ref ala not giving up their dream of st james way yet theyve come too far for that. Because of you that this here is our life my parents life and ours so were not throwing in the tally yet though its so sad were the only ones who can see how pretty it has here right now well so at least you guys have come to visit us. See. 2 months have passed its only july we fly into the Canary Islands to lend support to. Holidaymakers have been allowed back into spain since just a few days or not many around this sharing the beaches would locals. In this isnt cold but its a dream you theres no one else here as you see if you like and you can have 20 metres distance to the next bathers go its never been this nice here before given the moment its on the if you ask other holidaymakers how would you have imagined this last year with a few less people it would have been so bad if it so its not so unpleasant of the sort of friends how ok weve already said were bound to remember this very different holiday in years to come up with that idea its a special moment see so where did it go more in the case. Normally one and a half 1000000 to scum to lunch or to every year now at the start of the Summer Season just a handful of hotels are open. Now you got a car coming up and a century ago cleans hotel rooms it has been unemployed since mid march in the car when now allowed to sit next to one another or do you know who you are about serial now feel rather stare at the work of the town is totally dead we live from tourism. Here and now everything is closed without the coronavirus the place would normally be packed right now. Then other hand the. Kind of prefers not to shows the hotel where she works itll be open again in early august and she has to be ready for work she doesnt want any trouble on the whole she doesnt feel very comfortable. The canaries a try to attract visitors with a low number of coronavirus cases but the question is whether the visitors might bring the virus to the island the i dont see how they are to go i think i can run around like this the whole time with the work is hard enough as it is then 8 hours a day in this thing you can forget it all suffocate. For 50 are your most repugnant. Along with the beach guests nature tourists also come to lands a rotter. Every year the volcanic calendar tracks tens of thousands of hikers cyclists or extreme athletes. To mingle concepcion is a biologist is not opposed to reason but he thinks it will do nature good to have a break from its keen visit is. The rate mountain at the heart of the island looks totally unspoiled usually there are around 200. 00 People Per Day climbing up here and its strewn with trails now just a few lines are visible. More younger some of the oh the wind shifts the fine material and repairs the cracks will not it wont heal it completely but its that there are a lot more tracks left in the mountain before the coronavirus than there are now would you michael doubling the code. Without hurting us at least film that what it was how fast it happens just to people and theyve already left a new trail behind them and. For the 1st time domingo is observing how fast nature is reclaiming its space the birds fascination. In particular. Could drive this usually race through constrain and in the village next door theres always Building Work going on but the animals came back in the break imposed by the coronavirus. Oh you mean it was these traces have to be from today or the wind would have swept them away because that is unusual that you see traces of desert birds so near to human settlements hardly 100 meters away. From land serato theres a fair. A tiny island with just under 700. 00 inhabitants holidaymakers like to drop in for a short trip for a long time he also was just too much splashed on the net of spain. Ties is one of the most active inhabitants of the island for years hes fought for the also to be recognized in its own right since 2018 its now officially the 8th inhabited Canary Island and now a little famous because the island has so far remained to grow new virus free. Product yet we always say the island has protected us and i knew about the february we were going to celebrate our new status as the 8th Canary Island with a big event which would have brought large crowds of people here very much but we had to cancel it because the kalima the sand winds from africa were so strong this was then the people also believe that the salty water disinfects and kills the virus not that if we do not. Get. Any shop miguel also sells a little of the islands history his family is why. Of the 4 or 5 who came to 140 years ago fisherman from land serrata until around 2030 years ago they had hardly any outside contact. If you want there is to just be built huts with no water or light. Said they had an incredible will to survive here although the island really has its limits. They wanted this place to become their home. But not it also is not even 30 kilometers large its a bias fear is if a Conservation Area in the sea. The island has been spared a huge unsorted visit is. Although almost everyone lives from too isnt the full spray of the coronavirus was pleasant almost like it was back in the day when mikhail was still a little boy. And its a message of freedom and thought in the months of the lockdown there was nobody on the island only as crossfire set us free had the island all to ourselves. Here if the truth out and to be honest we really enjoyed it where you know maneuvering 3 rivers. In madrid to the new normal has arrived in the worst heat of the fires people are allowed to move around freely again but masks a mandatory almost everywhere. That. Many businesses have not survived the last 3 months according to a u. Commission is. The economy will shrink by almost 11 percent and theres a new word cornerstone for. Use in madrid alone around 100000 people cannot manage without food donations. Homewrecker. And this and that our machado has had no word for 2 months. I when the lock down came her boss sent her home nash has asked the priest of her parish for help for the 1st time in her life. To quest that its really not easy for me others are a much greater need than me because i reckon i can go there because im a single parent and im also taking care of my mother the mummy mummy got all. Our came here from venezuela a few years ago here in spain she was earning a little over a 1000 euros a month it was enough to live on but not to put anything aside. Our had to queue up for 2 or 3 hours everyone here has the same issues theyve been furloughed or on Social Security or have bills to pay. The consulate has been distributing food to the needy for years but now there are twice as many people as usual most of them are migrants low earners or those working illegally. Shock and theyre going to know when to go into these people dont even have a bank account has got biographer they come from latin america refugees from venezuela for example in another they dont have papers they have nothing good to someone just came to me and i gave them a 100 euros so we can at least find a place to sleep next week of theres really nothing theres nothing less nothing. Syrup. No kisses no hugs the corona warning sounds pretty harsh but the people are so friendly here that im not ashamed anymore says our this feed is enough for 2 weeks and she can return as often as she needs to buy the console has promised her that. It doesnt have. To being go climbed in the district of prosperity dad has now stopped and the neighbors profession meet among themselves today theyve invited me to a picnic in the car the group is not quite complete roll and clara a strange time. But weve got a lot we have risk patients in the family and they want to finally be able to see our little one to give them a hug so we are all a little more careful with our contacts but i. Think its a. Bit of. Theyve decided that they want to meet up more often that way. You know how he and i didnt even know how tall my neighbors are taller or shorter than me ive only ever seen you from the balcony hes thats how i didnt know you close up the sycamore so yes i am. The masks can be taken off 18 and drinking in the social distancing tends to be forgotten was. The question lot of news to tell each other with 3 months to catch up on a noisy information they can get through this time well today buses go. We have squatters around the back theyre growing grass honestly im happy that my daughter wants to go and buy some from the back to see it because they met a lot in our building basement grass the whole day and the stairway that im. No that. Was what they asked me how we managed to keep the infection rates so low in germany the shock was deep that spain was hit so badly. In the meantime small coronavirus outbreaks of flared up again it was great because i say you got it do you think there will be a real mammalogy again not just this new normal you know you cant quite shake off this fear that only. You. There is one good thing about the coronavirus the neighbors from prosperity and say in normal circumstances they would never have become friends now that will remain so. Even if madrid still needs a long time to recover it may never be the same again. You know. That im not. Right now but what i suppose it is and i. Have. Been. Thinking a lot about. About the. Border. Security. Do it yourself. Or your future. Dont miss out. We know that this is a scary time for us the coronavirus is changing the world changing our lives so please take care of yourself keep your distance and wash your hands if you can stay at how we are d.
