RE: Life and Mallorca, 1 of ?

Hard to imagine that part of Palma virtually deserted!

Our numbers have also gone sky high and we're back in a semi-lockdown. No alcohol sales and a 9pm to 6am curfew. It's a disaster.

Stay well and hope it all comes together for you, Asher and I look forward to more photos.

Yeah it was very strange, but quite enjoyable to walk around pretty much alone.

Your curfew is very similar, but at least we can buy booze - I'm not sure what the logic in stopping sales is?

Thank you!

The alcohol ban is directly linked to trauma cases taking medical resources. We have huge problem here and the alcohol ban meant not one New Year's eve trauma case at the Chris Hani Baragwanath hospital in Joburg. It's the largest hospital in Africa. Overall, There is a more than 60% reduction in trauma cases when alcohol is not legally sold.

I don't agree with it given that only about 30% of the population drinks. However, among those that do, binge drinking is a huge issue. We will hear this week if things will ease. I am not confident as we have had between 17 and 21k+ new daily cases in the last week. And those are the testes cases. I know of at least one positive cases where he's not been tested. He definitely has it because he has the same symptoms as his wife who did test positive.

A bit of a long-assed answer...🤦🏼‍♀️
