Limitations and restrictions are only enforced and implemented in Palma, Magaluf and Palma Nova. In Puerto Portals the restaurants are packed until 100 % with no limitations whatsoever. Very strange legislation. It feels like the Government want to punish Palma but close their eyes for Puerto Portals. I do not want to damage for the restaurants in Puerto Portals but why can they work with full capacity when other restaurants are forced to close or only work until maximum capacity ??
It's about Armengol etc al had their salaries linked to the balearics GDP. Let them live in the real world and not just collect their fat cheques.
Hold on a moment. I read in this paper just one or two days ago that Armengol had stated that (assured us) the latest measures would do the job. This woman has to go, if she asks central government for total lockdown she is encouraging suicides and alcoholism.
Looks like Clockdown to me!
I hope if it happens it would not be same as before. Severe restriction damages as much Covid as the stats shows. Individuals should be allowed to go out for walks . This said people should act responsibly and not let their guards down, specially now that the vaccination is so close.
And still little updates or news on the vaccine rollout for Mallorca..... So important to fast track the islands, not only for health - but for any chance of an economic recovery. Some people have very little left. Food banks and raising crime rates. Not to mention the damage to mental health. Tough times :(
Why should we do another lockdown? Vaccine is out that what you want so much. Give to the people and let other to work and live their life. Otherwise you destroy this Island and you can scrub off from the map.
And this is why these matters are decided by a national government, as local politicians cannot be trusted or are they capabable of making such heavy weighted decisions.
Checking the larder now. Dry beans, taters, rice, pasta. I'll put my left hand to good use. First run is to Moya; I'll take the truck for that. By the time all this is over, I'll be a certified drunk.
