Adios, mask! ? by husband

Hello! GW is coming soon! I still don't feel like I can easily travel abroad, but if you have a plan to come to Barcelona, ​​please DM me! We will treat you to dinner at a recommended place for one person on a first-come, first-served basis. I'm serious. smile

Well, if there is an encounter, there is also a farewell to that extent. Spring is the season that reminds me of that. I am sure that you have all had wonderful encounters and painful farewells. I have also experienced meeting and parting, but for some reason I only remember painful partings. . . tears

However, this time I had the most painless parting I have ever had. Oh my God!

In Spain, from today, there will be no obligation to wear a mask indoors! (Excluding hospitals and public transportation)

Mask, Adios! And Adew! (Goodbye in Catalan)

And at children's schools, not only masks, but even if they get coronavirus, they can come to school without any symptoms, rather than isolating them. Isn't this treated like a common cold?

It was just about two years ago that the 43-day curfew was lifted due to the lockdown due to Corona. But then there were all sorts of restrictions for the last two years. You can't leave the area where you live, you can only take out at restaurants, you can't get together with more than 10 people, you can't participate in team sports, you can't go out after 1 a.m., and so on. The regulations are gradually being relaxed, and the only remaining obligation to wear a mask indoors is lifted from today! Does this mean the end of Corona is near? ?

I'm happy, but honestly, I'm scared because I have a normal Japanese feeling. In Spain, compared to the locals who don't wash their hands before eating or take off their shoes when they get home, I must be in the category of germophobia.

Until recently, if a person without a mask walked by on the street, he would move to the opposite side and avoid approaching him. My opponent might have thought that I was the reincarnation of a crab as I stepped on the side step slowly.

Never press elevator buttons with your fingers. Hit the elbow for sure. Mr. Mitsuharu Misawa in heaven must be smiling.

I digressed, but after all, Spain still has a large number of new infections. so it's a little scary. There are probably more than 10,000 people every day, so if you compare it to the population, it may be more than Japan. However, the reason I say "probably" is that the number of infected people announced in the first place has become vague. Until about a month ago, Ministerio de Sanidad, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in Spain, was announcing every day details such as new infections by region and age group, changes in hospital bed occupancy rates, etc., but suddenly I lost my motivation. Did you know, since about a month ago, the numbers have been updated once every two days, and the various categories have disappeared.

So I don't know the exact numbers. However, what is certain is that the bed occupancy rate is currently less than 5%. Surely this might be a good time to get back to normal life.

Spain, along with Portugal, is a country with a very high vaccination rate in Europe, and it is probably working. Most of the major European countries are in the 70% range, but in Spain, 86% of the population has completed two vaccinations (92% over the age of 12). Considering that there are people under the age of 5 who can't get it, and people who haven't got it because they got it, it seems to be pretty close to 100%. Although the booster vaccination rate seems to be only 52%, a total of 11.66 million people (a quarter of the population) have already been infected on a reported basis, so consider that those people and children have not received it. Well, it might be something like that. The booster vaccination rate for those aged 60 and over is 92%, and for those aged 40 and over is 79%. It's a Latin nori, so there are a lot of rough things, but I think I've followed the rules about corona more tightly than many other European countries.

I'm afraid, but I want to say goodbye to masks and get back to normal life. It's still a little scary to even go out in the crowd, but after being careful, it would be nice to enjoy the summer in Spain this year.

From my 2-year-old daughter, I only know the world of wearing masks. I think it's the same feeling as wearing pants. When I'm going to kindergarten again this morning, huh? I forgot my mask and told me something like that. That's why I told you that you don't have to wear a mask from today.

However, my daughter can't speak properly yet, so she may have actually said, "What's that hairstyle? Einstein?"
