The Catalonian Government do not want to lift the lockdown and believe it to be a crazy decision, however they have no powers to prevent it and the Central Gov in Madrid have overruled them.

Rather similar to what New York governer Andrew Cuomo is saying, in response to Trumps moronic musings about removing the lockdowns....

".......    And on reopening correctly, which New York is seeking to do in concert with six other north-eastern states: “It has to be phased.

          It has to be balanced. It’s a public health strategy and an economic reactivation strategy. The key to me is testing.

         People have to know that they are safe and the testing actually works to make people feel safe,..".

wtf. Shocking.

In fairness they took good care of him the second time, however when he was admitted originally it was A & E and they were literally snowed under with folk lying on trolleys throughout the corridor. No excuse of course but their rationale was that he'd be "better off at home", of course that ended up far from the case.

I mentioned this previously but all his symptoms and experiences were identical to Coronavirus and the hospital at that time was crammed with similar cases, so either there was a really bad flu virus kicking about Ayrshire at that time or it was indeed the early cases of the dreaded corona.

Yes, I've been quite impressed with Cuomo he comes across very well and I like the way he does much of his press conferences off the cuff as it were.

The thing about reopening economies and suchlike is that if people don't feel safe, or the number of cases dramatically rise, people will voluntarily shut themselves back home. The govt can't force people to go down the shops, go to football matches etc and spend money if the public don't think its safe to do so 

Not if they've no money they won't. If the government says it's safe to go to work, they're not going to be paying the 80% support/grant/loan thing and employers are hardly likely to pay you to stay at home if you're fit for work.
