Spain's highest court recently ruled the past lockdown "unconstitutional." And though the ruling doesn't guarantee that another lockdown won't happen, I wonder if it's at least less likely now.
I wonder this because I bought myself a ticket to Madrid back in April (long before Delta started kicking up dust) and I'm wondering if I should use it if the country hasn't locked down by the time my September flight rolls around.
If the country does lock down by then, fine. Whatever. I'm out $200. I'll live.
But if it stays open, I fly out, and then it locks down. I could wind up having to pay $2000 to get a flight back to the States. Possibly worse, as I'll be out on Norte or Primitivo and it won't be as easy to dash off to a major city as if I were on Frances.
SO, WITH THAT SAID
How do people feel about the odds of another lockdown? Taking everything into consideration — vaccination rates, mask discipline, social distancing practices, fear of losing tourist income again, etc — how high do you think the odds are of a national lockdown?
Local or regional lockdowns could be navigated around, but a national one would be a huge complication. How likely might one be?
