The number of cases are rising not just here in the Balearics, but alarmingly across the rest of Europe in general, not to mention the Far East, Africa and North America and all the fingers are being pointed at young people meeting for raves and illegal street parties. There is evidence to support that this is serving to fuel the spikes but there is more to it than that.

It is true what Humprey writes here. Although I am against this ridiculous mask wearing at all times, in shops, public transport etc, it is necessary. The use of masks are still very debateable, but keeping distance, all experts agree, is essential. So where you cannot, you wear a mask. However, a lot of shops already stop caring. Empty disinfectant dispensers, no plastic gloves for fruit and veg, people not following the indicated "logistics" in the shops and this especially at small, local shop level. "Because we know each and everyone" must be the thought. I do not agree with Yogi that there is no "public messaging". Most spanish radio stations broadcast such messages. But knowing most brits, they only listen to radio 1 or so and watch UK sat TV. So blame yourself for that one.
It is exactly the same here in the uk. People are In denial acting as if the virus has gone away. The attitude is well I haven't caught it yet so it must be safe. Infections are increasing here, rules are being ignored. Towns are now getting locked down, Aberdeen,Leicester and Manchester.
vaccine or herd immunity, until that time it's wave after wave. Eventually herd immunity will be reached. In the meantime lets keep the deaths down, a figure that now takes second place to the number of infections.
Infections are increasing. People are not adhering to the rules. Greece and Turkey do not have Quarantining rules applied to Tourists, who are now visiting those countries. The Baleares are failing badly in controlling the Virus infections, through a lack of responsibility.
The slackness started ages back and has got worse. There’s no public messaging campaign I’m aware of from the govt about wearing masks, social distancing or maintaining sanitisation. There’s also no police around to remind and enforce the rules. It’s as if they’ve all given up and gone on their hols.
