Coronavirus - Remain Calm. Do Not Panic - You Boys in Green Forum

This is a good thread about the differences between New York and Madrid, why the former has recovered well while the latter is floundering again.

Among other reasons, indoor dining is still banned in New York, New York has also put a good contact tracing system in place, Madrid hasn't.

10,500 new cases in France today.

Should be a travel ban to places with exponentially high cases

The indoor dining is not the major issue as you would make out and our stats here would support. Spain’s culture is geared toward household dining with friends and extended family anyway

The contact tracing is a major stumbling block. Like it is here. Our capacity for testing has already been found out and this is the 2nd week in September before a long winter.

Indoor dining includes bars

There could barely be a better place to spread the virus than a bar

NY isn't opening them until September 30th and even then only at 25% capacity

Madrid is a city heavily geared towards socialising and nightlife, it really is tremendously social, which is great in normal times but perfect for spreading this virus
