Given the covid surge in Europe it's time to isolate the balearics if we want to maintain our current freedoms. Don't wait until it's too late. We cannot do another lockdown and loss of our rights. BE PROACTIVE, It's not like there's a raft of open hotels to complain, I'm sure they'd rather now than in peak season. Let the rest of Europe lockdown and let us Carry on as we are.
