Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez announced on March 14 that in order to curb the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, he decided to implement a 15-day blockade control nationwide. Except for specific situations such as work, medical treatment or purchase of daily necessities, people across the country are forbidden to leave their homes. The last time Spain entered a state of emergency was 10 years ago when air traffic controllers across Spain went on strike.
According to media reports, the Spanish public health system has 3508 intensive care units (ICU) , plus 896 private wards (4404 total) . According to data from Eurostat (Eurostat) , for the number of beds per 100,000 inhabitants, the number of beds available in Spain and other affected areas The affected European countries are similar in (such as Italy or the United Kingdom) , but much lower than Germany or France.
Adita is an overseas Chinese who lives in the Balearic Islands off the coast of Spain. This island claims to be the back garden of a Spanish holiday, with an area of only 46.00 square kilometers, the population is less than 800,000, but there are currently more than 50 confirmed patients on the island. After the outbreak, a large number of Madridans poured into the island, which made the scarce medical and material resources even more scarce.
A few days ago, Adita told her 8 o’clock Jianwen about her local experience.
Spanish people do n’t take it seriously when hoarding Chinese goods
On February 9th, a case of neo-coronary pneumonia was confirmed on the island. He was an Englishman who went to France to ski and became infected. This is the second case reported in Spain. Here the media reports that his symptoms are very mild, but I am still very worried. The first case appeared earlier. On January 31, a German patient was diagnosed on the island of La Gomera, which is also a resort, 2,000 kilometers from the capital Madrid.
Since the closure of Wuhan at the end of January, I have been following the domestic situation.
At home in Spain, I immediately posted a lot of methods about China’s defense against the new crown virus, such as washing hands frequently, wearing face masks, keeping a distance from people, and so on. As a result, my husband’s hesitation replied, this is an ordinary flu, don’t worry too much. They thought I was exaggerating.
I started to stockpile. When I went to the supermarket, no one snapped up. My neighbors didn’t think so. My husband is Spanish and he thinks my reaction is a bit overdone. They have the same mentality as before. As early as the outbreak in Wuhan, family members in China kept reminding me to stock up some food. But there were no cases on the island at the time, and I didn’t care too much.
The TV report on the domestic epidemic is a bit like watching the fire across the shore. Everyone occasionally takes a look at the situation in China, and they are not so enthusiastic. At that time, the tone of the news was that everyone should be calm and not nervous. The health minister appeared on TV with ease. Until about a month after the outbreak in Italy, no media dared to say such things.
Spain has more immigrants, plus it is a tourist country. Many graduate from high school and can find a job related to tourism. Many people have never left Spain in this life, never to Asia, and never to China. It is difficult for them to associate an island with the Mediterranean sun all year round with the city of Wuhan because of a strange virus. In their impression, China is just a symbol and the medical level is backward.
In contrast, the Chinese community remains vigilant from start to finish. Many Chinese return to Spain after the year and take the initiative to isolate themselves for 14 days. It was broadcast in the news that after the Chinese returned from Madrid, he
