Spain’s quarantine eases up… now what?
Spain reopened on Saturday to allow solo sport and some walks for adults. I got a nice 2-hour ride in and it was glorious :). Lindsey took a long walk in the evening, and Calico got to go out in the late afternoon. It was pretty busy as everyone was excited.
I am not sure what the plan is at this point, it seems unclear globally. I realize there are a TON of unknowns about the virus, but I am surprised how unclear the messaging is.
- Do they want to manage ICU capacity while keeping an eye on the exponential growth of the virus?
- Do they really think they can reopen without this thing going above R1?
- Are they just hoping the mortality rate is 0.5% once more studies come out and they aim for herd immunity slowly to keep it below R1?
- Do they want young people to get it while old people stay home to get faster herd immunity?
What is the plan? :)
Keeping it below R1 seems highly unrealistic with “lite” social distancing. We’ve been in 6 weeks of total lockdown in Spain and it is still hovering around R0.7 to R1.1. If you re-open the question isn’t will it go above R1, it is by how much IMO. The minute you open schools this thing is going to start spreading.
Our big decision right now is if we want to get a treadmill before the next lockdown.
And, a new bike I got on May 15th for Zwift usage (my bike won’t fit)…
