I suspect that the President of the Balearic government Francina Armengol got a rather nasty wake-up call yesterday morning. The protest by bar and restaurant staff, furious with her lockdown measures, had been banned by the Central Government Delegate in Palma but it still went ahead.

@Mark Badoer it is more than a flu. Maybe the death rate (of what we know so far) is similar, but the spread is different. It's one thing to have 2% of dead people out of 10k, and another thing to have it out of 10 million. And this in the conditions of having restrictions and taking precautions and people being treated in the hospitals. If it would be treated as a flu, like 'let's all get it and that's it', the 2% would become 20%. As there is not gonna be a possibility to treat anybody. *all the numbers are purely fictional, just meant to prove a concept. And no animals were harmed in the process.
What I don't get, is that people still keep accepting this, like sheep being led to be slaughtered. I now know a scary amount of people that are nearing desparation and are willing to go criminal and violent, to just live and protect their loved ones. Now that is more scary than this whole covid flu.
Most of the so called "measures" are improvisation which logically do not result in any measurable improvements. You can compare the numbers with many countries in East Europe where schools are closed, but there are few other limitations and the numbers are falling on a daily basis. The politic career of Armengol finished when she was caught breaking her own rules and not resigned. None could respect a person like that which explains why so many people asked for her resignation ent on the first, but surely not the last justified protest against a political class which is driving Spain to economical collapse.
