Look about without doubt balance as a society the coronavirus has overwhelmed some of spains medical facilities so quickly in fact that some of those that were most at risk from the virus were left behind in the panic dozens of elderly and sick people were found dead at home a situation made all the more harrowing when the army had to disinfect their resting places the army during certain visits 1000 older people completely abandoned sometimes even dead in their bad Spanish HealthCare Services fighting against collapse this is a significant problem for our Healthcare System this collapse which is being talked about could happen in some places germany seems to have the spread of covert 19 under some semblance of control a quick glance to our neighbors elsewhere in europe like spain shows just how quickly the situation can degenerate and with such tragic consequences peter all of our r.

The backlash against those who ignore social distancing advice is also happening and rule areas of the u. K. Some National Parks have been busier than ever and locals have been telling visitors to go home we spoke to regional authorities who were left stunned by the influx of people they say the confusion is sometimes down to mixed messages coming out of westminster. I dont know whether its a deliberate ignoring or whether its and. The advice at the time just wasnt clear enough people and i think unless you youve had something directly impact on you and last a member of your family has been impacted or unless you specifically into isolation and i think he i dont think he had people at that point the seriousness of the situation you know were very reliant on on people coming to the area for the local economy and i think it just hasnt hit people is my hope that it just happened people and they just didnt stand in the gravity of the situation unfortunately there was an element of the digital until he is and is very pleased to see the mayor of the town of course call come on to the airwaves to put a more rational case forward i think those visitors were misguided i wouldnt call them stupid because those rules are not at all clear weve heard the u.

Economies across the world have ground to a halt kilian measures have been announced. To governments offering to pay full salaries you cannot work there is a scramble to inject amounts of money into the system to counter the economic fallout of the pandemic the costs are expected to exceed germany from economic crisis to natural disasters in recent decades as knock downs are implemented with no clear end in sight the real question perhaps is now how long could the world afford this this pandemic has brought the 3rd and most serious economic financial and social crisis of the 21st century the strict measures applied around the world the essential to control the spread of the virus plunge our economies into an unprecedented paralysis from which they will not come out easily or automatically already we know that some 67000000. 00 us citizens are worried about how they going to pay their credit card bills because of the pandemic other fears about finding money for the more essential basic needs of life accommodation and food while the multitrillion for now will keep things taking a long and over some point that will end governments will have to choose between keeping the economy running or treating populations it is impossible to leave even in self isolation and to cure people if we do not continue the Economic Activity that quite simply allows us to live in this country our daily life so that eating out to restaurants going to the cinema meeting friends perhaps for a drink or even having a haircut these are all activities that contribute to.
