                                        Thank you for the doom and gloom update! Hope you’re keeping your head down and well out of the way of infection.

                                        As far as I know, there have been no infections in Mojacar, although Vera, about 6 miles away, has had some.
My head is so low I can smell my socks, an unpleasant situation I can assure you!
@Petter I didn’t mean that low!
Yes, yes, and if Trumps "Chinese virus" makes it to Europe too, things could get much worse for us, Jackass!

                                        I had planned on going to Italy and Greece this Spring. The airlines have canceled the flights, and now I will remain here in Tennessee. Darn this pandemic!

                                        I was actually packing suitcases before driving from Spain to Italy when Northern Italy went into quarantine.
@Petter I see that you live in Spain. If the pandemic ends by next year, my spouse and I will go to Italy in the spring of 2021. Perhaps you could come visit, and we can see some great Italian sites together. Además, yo hablo Español. Viví dos años en Buenos Aires. (Sometimes I get my Italian and Spanish mixed up. )
@BestWithoutGods My house is a 1,750km drive from Como, where my sister lives. However, I usually drive there, via England, every summer. This March trip was in order to watch a Six Nations rugby match in Rome, that was cancelled. Still, let me know nearer the time.
@BestWithoutGods I often tangle Spanish and Italian, sometimes I tangle them both with Swahili as well.
Annnd, here ya go, dumbass doubter posters on here!
