Covid in Quesada

Lots of people are going hungry, they've been laidoff, businesses that they worked at have closed they'd love to go to the supermarket but they aren't all lucky enough to have been furloughed and even some that were entitled to money haven't received a penny. Of course the supermarkets are open, you know that but they just haven't got a pot to piss in so they can't go. Yes, I have heard of some people who don't want to go to hospital as they are affraid they may come out with more than they went in with. Try volunteering at one of the foodbanks, see and hear some of the stories, it would break your heart. Not everybody is as well off as you and I. So that that bizarre really

What a bizarre post
Everyone dying of hunger ? Have the supermarkets closed ?
Livelihoods destroyed by sitting at home on 80% pay
Doctors and nurses taking a well earned break and they’re abused ??
People too scared to go to hospital ?
Today’s craziest post by a long way

I don’t know the details, but Mas y Mas have a scheme, where by, you complete a form and pay 3€ or something similar, then return in the evening and collect a bag of food, you get what you’re given, I think it’s stuff that is usually reduced buy not 100% sure, a friend was telling me about it as her daughter has applied and fecupived a bag, so anyone out there struggling might be worth enquiring

That's good of them
It must be awful for some people trying to survive and feed their families let alone worrying about rent and bills. A right nightmare.

I stand by every word I’ve said
You said everyone going hungry, that’s wrong, many, many on furlough and getting 80% of their wage
How can you say there are some entitled to money but haven’t received a penny ? Urban myth or fact based and if so how many would that be ?
Foodbankd you mentioned, they were there before the pandemic so what’s new ?
Simply, I think you’re being overdramatic
I’ve many many relatives over there and many friends here with relatives over there
I’ve heard no such stories, sure there’s some suffering but, seriously what else can we expect, there’s a pandemic !,
Imagine those during ww2, nightly not knowing if a bomb would take their house, or where they worked or if a sin, father , brother had been killed fighting
I think people just complain much too much nowadays

Regarding folk being paid 80% of wages to stay at home so wheres the hardship...what a lot of folk don't realise is that here in Spain it's common practice to under contract employees due to the prohibitive employer contributions.
Therefore someone working 40hrs are suddenly realising their contract was only for 20 hours and that is what their ERTE is based on so in reality they are only receiving 40 per cent of wages or less.
Everyone I have spoken to on erte has been in this position to a certain extent

This post was about Covid in Quesada which a lot of people are interested in given the rise in the number of cases. Why do people use this forum to stand on their soapboxes.

They're bored...probably frustrated as they have nothing interesting going on in their lives...and the forum is just another social media outlet for them.

Money talks, a so called " tesco", English supermarket style with English manners and non observance of lockdown rules
