    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Galicia compulsory use of masks in all public areas

    I agree with the message of this thread. To personalize it, as I have said previously small villages have a lot of old people, including me, we have not been vaccinated yet. Pilgrims see me outside my home tending to my pot plants, and when I ask them to put on a mask, they challenge me, why not...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD COVID-19: Corona virus discussion (ROUND 8)

    More on what it's like living on the Camino. After spending 6 years offering a donativo table and a place to rest for pilgrims, I am afraid I have lost my compassion and have developed a serious anger problem, such that I don't like myself very much these days. And the cause you may well ask...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD COVID-19: Corona virus discussion (ROUND 8)

    Quarantine is not only for positive cases of Covid, but also for people with symptoms awaiting tests and results, and also for contacts of positive cases.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD COVID-19: Corona virus discussion (ROUND 8)

    All I can tell you is my knowledge of the Galician health service protocol, from a friend who is a doctor in an after hours health service. As explained to me, a suspected case of Covid is only transported to hospital if seriously ill (not just a fever, as was the case in Baamonde). Otherwise...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD COVID-19: Corona virus discussion (ROUND 8)

    The health service and local councils only take responsibility for the transportation of people for a test who have some form of disability which means they are not independent. The European health card does not qualify a person from another European country to anything more than a Galician...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD COVID-19: Corona virus discussion (ROUND 8)

    A Recent case of a pilgrim in Baamonde on the Primitivo, with a fever, highlights the problems to be faced if a pilgrim develops symptoms, and is walking completely independently with no support. In Galicia if you are unwell the protocol is to call 061 and they arrange a test. In this case the...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Galicia compulsory use of masks in all public areas

    ...replied but it is raining, also in Spanish. My reply was in very angry, loud English: - I don't know how to swear in Spanish - I DON'T GIVE A F*** GO NOW. THERE IS A BAR IN 50 METRES, GO THERE. They got the message. The sense of entitlement of pilgrims is not diminishing, I'm afraid. But more...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Galicia compulsory use of masks in all public areas

    It is a part of my frustration, the local police, Guardia Civil, are sitting safe in their offices, and ignoring the problem of non mask wearers in Portomarin, let alone venturing out to Vilacha. In other years, they can be seen on the streets, and come up the Camino several times a day. Now I...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid positive pilgrims arriving in SDC. (if any)

    The contact tracing service of Spain is under staffed and under resourced. I certainly know that the family who brought the Virus to the small village of Fonfria, finished the Camino in Santiago and returned to Madrid before they developed symptoms. So "how many are there arriving in Santiago...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Galicia compulsory use of masks in all public areas

    The problem is that the pilgrim who brought the virus to the little village of Fonfria has long gone. It took 2 weeks for the locals to start becoming ill. How many others has that person infected along the way. I hope who ever it is is asymptomatic, and so is unknowingly passing the virus on...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Galicia compulsory use of masks in all public areas

    ...no entry. When I asked pilgrims to leave, I pilgrim, not even wearing a mask, argued with me, but it is raining. My response was: I DON'T GIVE A F*"*" In these Corona times pilgrims must give up their sense of entitlement, or sense of privilege, because they are doing a pilgrimage, and start...

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Galicia compulsory use of masks in all public areas

    Yes I am sorry to say on my observations that it is not only English speaking pilgrims ignoring the law about the compulsory use of masks, it is Spaniards as well

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Galicia compulsory use of masks in all public areas

    I want to sit outside in my private space, that borders the Camino and feel safe. It is too hot to be upstairs. Please pilgrims let me be safe in my own home
