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 recognize madrid is the locals on their balconies feel the same. Is that it has been reluctant intro most 50 days yes so. Im hyperactive and i dont know how to do nothing thats you know that man that by the way in this when our son grows up well tell him how it was to be stuck at home for months without seeing the family the you know doesnt seem bad i mean i guess if you start to miss the buzz 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 dad lovingly decorated this street. They went out on their balconies and ate every evening of the lives that others are out there today. I saw the soup to go game board. Bingo the stars how i. Was. 75 to 75 it was yes it was here it was i have said that and i say yes yes yes it was a. Real weakness and today its conscious birthday from number 10. Was. I. Thought i. 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 does the us even though say im so grateful to you all the evidence you receive all this is what im sure that normally we would never have met half of all these people know what maybe the ones in that house but the others our paths would never have crossed im one of the some of the field. To have that we stay friends afterwards its never that its just great that we get along so well its an amenity its a miracle for me when im trying the others rather than. I was watching the way he does Interest Period dad is a ray of hope for us. The weeks all weve been editing in our studio is pictures 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 soldiers find dead bodies that had been lining 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 eleanor feared. The management tells us that it was only alarm the older people if they saw us Wearing Masks struggles and hand that process of a mask that 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 appear. 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 just 840. 00 euros groups and a talks very fondly about the old people that 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. They had to make a bit of a skit arianna a lot of colleagues say that they cant even cry about it yet because were not sure that they just carried our fears around with them at the time she got out why we puff and 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 and i 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 Plaquemine David 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 the most how it and whether she missed her family. Will come 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 much 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 engine 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 on a suit the funeral was so sterile summers 3 people who had to keep their distance from one another to some of them not afterwards all you can do is to write the others or what at message about how it was at 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. A few days later still enjoying the lockdown we had northwest to go. In a monster of a higher caught up needed one to speak only one tasm ship the 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 control they have to work. But as they are so if they like it its one of them we are filming the German Television i learned how many people 33 rows of seats 3 people from north. Mom are good no. Its only cheney we pass through pin your a village in the middle of a huge forest the whole Village Lives in the team to trade a 1000 inhabitants 9 cough and 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. Pace there are those who should be clear some of these cotton suppose for the crisis you have a window on the lid so you can see the deceased one last time maybe earlier. Mentally interior is question and lined with satta. Or a museum or just that will give you the amount we have another model. Here the window is no longer needed and for the mining we use biodegradable paper for you all the lavish you know weeks or a lot of them out i got deceased have to be cremated immediately. These patterns go straight to the crematorium oh about the. Father and son struggled against competition from china a few years on 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 at this suddenly producing 400. 00 coffins per month the Family Business is managing it with just 3 employees whove always worked here or because it was under one of theirs 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 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 out of range to meet up with some old acquaintances. A married couple i know from an earlier film. On the course in mosul still and celia borsa did their best to stay active join the lockdown. Sheedy joga while he we discovered his grown up sons sports equipment. You know that its its its its. Not. Im not allowed into the flash city used to be a nurse and knows all about the dangers of infection but not everyone takes the rule 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. The next morning wholesale and celia are allowed to take their 1st walk for now spaniards are allowed to go out for one hour per day for most 2 months there were only allowed to go out for grocery shopping. In the mean time its spring and everything is a little unusual. You have to move out of juggles way all the time. And jose hasnt quite got the hang of them ask. Yourself when i am not now. What do i know. To 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 flash. Is annoyed their own rules everywhere. We feel remember and i can only talk to my children and grandchildren by video at the moment thats how it is right now. Manner of id love to see them to cuddle them so much of character. The 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 written it off. But i dont know if it was one for our business it means a year of losses total yet for bill and this pilgrimage is not happening this year as. Well and i was. A failed martins and his girlfriend al decided nero wanted to take over this small hostel and 2 others from our parents they worked on the guest rooms all Winter Spending 25000. 00 euros on a bit of asian now they have revenues 0 they need a plan b. You know im a guy 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. Packed our bags 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 say 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 miles away at least you guys have come to visit us. See. 2 months have passed its early july we fly into the Canary Islands 2 lines of utter. Holidaymakers have been allowed back into spain since just a few days youre not many around to share in the beaches would like cause. This isnt cold but its a dream you theres no one else here as you see if you like and you can have 20 meters distance to the next bathers ago its never been this nice here before you believe them and its on the if you ask other holidaymakers how would you have imagined this last year with a few less people that it would have been so bad 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 where to go more in the face. Normally one and a half 1000000 to scum to lunch at all to every year now at the start of the Summer Season just a handful of hotels are open. Now got the army and a century ago cleans hotel rooms and has been unemployed since mid march in the car when now allowed to sit next to one another peabody owner of our pretty surreal nothing rather steer the work of motown is totally dead we live from tourism. Here and now everything is closed without the coronavirus the place would normally be packed trying now to. Get other hand in. And it 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 leaving i can run around like this the whole time where the work is hard enough as it is then 8 hours a day in this thing you can forget it suffocates. For fish you are your master apartment. Along with the beach guests nature is 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 red 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 of visible. More younger some of the oh the wind shifts the fine material and repairs the cracks not only 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 much more doubling the code. Without hurting us or please film that what it was how fast it happens just to people and theyve already left a new trail behind that. 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 this always Building Work going on but the animals came back in the break imposed by the coronavirus. Somewhere you know you mean it was these traces have to be from today or the wind would have swept them away that is unusual that you see traces of desert birds so near to human settlements hardly 100 meters away. From the answer to this affair. A tiny island with just under 700. 00 inhabitants holidaymakers like to drop in for a short trip for a long time like last year also was just too much splash on the net or spain. Miguel 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 coronavirus free. Product yet we always say the island has protected us but i never saw 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 in greece was then the people also believe that the salty water doesnt tax 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 20 charity years ago they had hardly any outside contact. Here want their Research Just theyve built huts with no water or light. Minarik as a they had an incredible will to survive here although the island really has its limits. They wanted this place to become their home. But thats also it 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 onslaught of visitors. Although almost everyone lives from too isnt the full spray of the coronavirus was pleasant almost like it was back in the day when miguel 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 us crasser set us free had the island all to ourselves to hear it be proved out and to be honest we really enjoyed it where no maneuvering could even enter. In madrid to the new normal has arrived in the city worst hit by 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 2 mission 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. Was very. Good for you. And this is our my charger has had no work for 2 months. I i when the lockdown 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 but i reckon i can go there because im a single parent and im also taking care of my mother in the modem got a full. Hour 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 us 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. Has been distributing food to the needy fields but now there are twice as many people as usual most of them are my clients 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 part of an effort they come from latin america refugees from venezuela for example in another they dont have papers they have nothing to get 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 in it 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 particle unsaddle has promised her that. It was up. To being go climb 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 role and clara are staying at home. But yet it is what we have risk patients and 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 so they. Can. Get it out. 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 youve only ever seen you from the balcony thats how i didnt know you close up the 2nd must always am. The masks can be taken off 18 and drinking in the social distancing tends to be forgotten was.

No. I got that they asked me how we managed to keep the infection rates so low in germany the shock is deep that spain was hit so badly. In the meantime smaller coronavirus outbreaks of flared up again and. I basically i say you got it do you think there will be a real knowledge here again not just this new normal you know you cant quite shake off this fear that. We have. There is one good thing about the coronavirus the neighbors from prosperity id 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 weekend. I. Did. Not. Read the book but i still wanted to get in on. A. Bit of fun to. Play a bit about. The bust up of.
