So Who's Leaving?

OK, another new topic.
On the UK news tonight they were at a Spanish airport (didn't catch which one) and stating that expats are trying to leave Spain in droves.
Is that actually true? Weren't they just those who visit here and are trying to get home rather than those who live here and trying to escape?
How many permanent residents do we have that are desperate to leave? I know it's awkward to get out and ask people as we can't socialise at the moment but I haven't seen anyone around here who is desperate to get out of Spain apart from those who just come over to their second homes and want to go back to their jobs or main homes.
On the contrary, 2 couples I have spoken to who are visitors said they would rather stay here in the sunshine (bit ironic at the moment) and stick it out.
Are you, or any ones you know, actually upping sticks and leaving if you or they live here on a permanent or even semi-permanent basis?
I know the news programmes try to big these things up but just wondering if it is leaving the sinking ship time for some or just a bit of no news is good news.
