Spain - Coronavirus
I often look into the site to see what's happening around the world. It's obviously not got correct data for many countries. However Spain has been producing figures on s regular basis. Suddenly, and since the spike, there is no information. One wonders why?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I recall hearing on More or Less that Spain had changed its way of counting to include only deaths in a very recent period- so Covid deaths that came to light from say a week earlier in perhaps a Care home or at home were not counted. We have been counting deaths that occurred through heart attacks etc where the deceased had previously had a positive Covid test and had recovered several months ago.
International comparisons are fraught with difficulty.
Only excess deaths gives a full picture of the overall situation in each country.
Anyway, hasn't this been done to , er, death on here

I wouldn't make plans to holiday anywhere at the moment. If people everywhere in Europe just stayed on home ground and led a normal life as far as possible then perhaps things would settle. If and when things do settle, we will stick to the UK for our getaways and help our economy. I am not interested in fact that Spain is almost begging tourists to go there and claiming it is safe. It is not safe. And I don't care about their economy suffering. I care about ours. My best friend lives there and is wishing she was here.
We have to ask ourselves whether holidays are really necessary as this crucial time, especially for those who have been furloughed for months or for pensioners like us who are vulnerable. I certainly wouldn't want a holiday where ì had to wear a mask, keep a safe distance and use hand sanitizer before I went on the beach. Pubs and bars would be no fun at all. I would rather stay at home.
// when the numbers came back they had been "re-aligned" (with what, is anybody's guess).//
on a day you will get rsults relevant for a few days past
5000, on the day, 150 the day before and 75 two days ago
so you readjust the figures
I am note sure if they ever go down
people know these figures arent god-given innit?
you know like when X says something on AB - it is always true?
