Spain doesn't have 2 trillion dollars to get its economy back on track. It's going to be a rough ride for a long time. We have a small group of condos maybe a 5 minute walk from our house, contemporary styled with a spectacular Mediterranean view that will never be blocked, listing for 375,000 Euros each. They were started in 2007 at 399,000 Euros. Then the recession hit and they sat unfinished for 12 years. They didn't even bother to remove the crane being used to build them. An investor bought and finished them in 2019. I think he sold most of the units but if he didn't it could be another 12 years before anyone can afford to buy them again. Sad.

If we are relatively unscathed by this. Europe may need a “Marshall Plan” type rescue.

If we don’t do it, the Chinese will more than happy to.

I wouldn’t believe any thing about the number of deaths in China or Iran.

"Spain doesn't have 2 trillion dollars to get its economy back on track."

Nor in actuality does the United States. At least we have the Federal Reserve who can make a "good will" asset entry to level its balance sheet.

(Thinking outside the box here)

What if doctors were able to shoot patients, when they look like they’re being drawn towards the light, shoot them in the head. Boom, cause of death is gunshot wound to the head instead of kung-flu.

I think he sold most of the units but if he didn't it could be another 12 years before anyone can afford to buy them again.

And then yet another twelve years before an actual need for them arises - because the Spanish real estate market is suffering a long-term glut in the area of "tony" seaside vacation / weekend homes.

There are people with money - but no one clamoring to purchase such properties, because of oversupply.

There is no "cure" for oversupply - unless you torch 1/3 of the houses.

Regards,

“Spain doesn’t have 2 trillion dollars to get its economy back on track.”

Has Spain’s economy been on track anytime since 1700 or so?

Yeah, soccer players all getting sick. Lot of close order drill in those locker rooms. The locker rooms they show of the teams on TV during game days, those suckers are tiny. Barely enough elbow room to put on their jerseys.

There are only three of the 18 teams in the Spanish premiere league any darn good. Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Athletico Madrid. The other 15 mainly suck year to year. One or two of them will pull an upset over the big 3, but that is about it, those three.

This year mighty little Eibar is doing okay!! English Premier league has six to 8 teams that are good year to year, with usually an upset type team. Paris-St. Germain is far and away the best of the Frog's top league. Then there the other 18. In the German top flight, Bayern Muenchen (Munich for those who do not speak-in-zzz-dejoice), Dortmund, Red Bull Leipzig, Belorussia Gladbach, maybe one or two other battle for that 3rd position.

I hated the coverage's of the leagues this year. Since Direct-stupid-TV dropped BNSports, we lost coverage of the Frog league, Spanish league and Serie A in Italy. ESPN (the stinking bums) got to put on some Italian league games, but it was mostly sorry team vs. a more sorry team. I saw weeks where there were some good games on the schedule and ESPN put on a game with the two worse teams in the league instead.

Fox lost coverage of the Champions league. With FS1 and 2, we got four Champions league games on Tuesday and Wednesday (two games each channel) when they were playing. Now we get one or two games being carried on Turner channel 245 on Direct-stinking-TV. How did Fox get outbid for the Champions League???? Good grief. I have missed watching Messie playing the past two or three years on BNSport since Direct_well you know, was dropped. Direct always said they were working on bringing them back but never did. Bums.

I'm a old codger and don't know all these Internet channels that carry these games on the Internet that Algore invented. And, I am not going, can't afford it, get Internet channels at $45, 55 or 60 bucks a month to go along with the massive stinking Direct-YESSSSSSSS, STINKING-TV bill. Cannot drop it because our local cable and even Dish, do not carry the channels, three I think, that my wife watches all the time, and you know that if Mama ain't happy, life is going to be hell, so I pay for those on Direct-FREAKING STINKING LOW LIFE UTTER SLUG SLIME TRAIL, TV.

Geeze, Thelma and Louise, Maranatha!!! Come quickly LORD Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably Trump's fault in some way or other.

They locked down everything like they did in Italy and locking down doesn’t work, it exasperates the problem... Sick people infecting healthy relatives, and then those relatives infecting others... Italian deaths and Spanish deaths continue to escalate even after being locked down... So lock downs are obviously mistake.

Japans economy is fine... No lock downs, except for schools, they travel in subways packed like sardines as usual, go to restaurants and bars, business as usual.

Japan: 160+ million people and 47 deaths.

Italy: 60 million people and 8,000+ deaths.

Do the math folks... These lock downs are nonsense being preached by the same people who brought you global warming.

The Guardian “can’t understand” how this could have happened to Spain.

Well, the Spanish Socialist Gov’t urged it’s supports out to Women’s marches on March 8 to celebrate abortion, LGBTQ and all the rest of it.

Spain’s main hot spot is in the Madrid area where the biggest marches were.

How does Spain manage to have free health care?

Average MD salary in Spain: $40K
Average MD salary in the US: $218K.

With all the other spending proportional. Yes, the knee surgeons in Spain don’t drive Ferraris.

You heard it here first:

Ambassador Colonel (Ret.) Doctor Deborah Birx will get the Medal of Freedom wearing her Army retiree uniform in the White House after all this is past.

Did Spain have mandatory vaccination efforts in place for all citizens like Italy? I know that there was a Pneumonia and Meningitis Mandatory requirement in Italy this year. It has been noticed that here in the US having had the Flu shot ups your chances of contracting Covid.
