Apparently Mojacar beaches were very busy at the weekend.

It has been on Spanish TV that many beaches are segregated by age and there are patrolls enforcing the laws.  I did see last month an article saying the Spanish Government were employing 20,000 extra people to patrol beaches and promenades enforcing the wearing of masks and social distancing

My jaw just dropped open when I saw the photo of Bournemouth.  Are they all mad???  No wonder UK is now predicting a second wave.  Surely no one in their right mind would sit like that, it cannot be enjoyable?

Can't understand everyone going to the main beach, there are plenty of isolated stretches of lovely beach further along the coast from there, suppose everyone want's to be a Lemming.  :shocked:

I know the media bang on about a 2nd wave. But does any normal, sensible person believe this.?

For example.  After the Easter weekend in the UK when thousands flocked to the beaches, did infections rise? No.

Black lives riots, 140,000 people, infections dropped 3 weeks later.

And the UK is doing 30% more testing than a month ago, and still new cases are on the decline.

Time for the fear to end. Enjoy your lives.

My life is far too important to me to take any unnecessary chances, mojacar.  Why risk going somewhere that is a game of Russian roulette that you could catch it and die?  Stupid idea...

Apparently just going shopping is a game if Russian roulette these days.
People forgetting to put a hand brake on shouldn't be driving.

No fear
Live life

That's it No fear, Live life, forget the dead after all most of them were probably old wrinklies anyway. So let's have another wave and kill a few more.

Mojacar you are either quite young or just plain stupid, which is it?

Me, I to like to think of myself as a half sensible old wrinkly, not ready to test out the virus yet!!!  :tiphat:
