Sorry, need to vent.
This is Tamariu, in Spain.
We're suposed to be locked locally by town or city, we cannot leave our town if it's not necessary for work/health issues.
We have elections in exactly 2 weeks, and everybody is complaining about the possible spread of the new British Covid.
And then, this is what happens.
All of this people are coming here from Barcelona, to their secondary residences.
Which is strictly forbidden.
They have everything they need in their big city, yet still come here, where we don't even have a McDonald's, or cinema (or anything FFS!!)
With 0 repercussion for them, yet if i go outside my town just to see familiars, the police stop me, every, single, time.
I'm REALLY tired of being the good guy...
FP edit: WHOAAAAA guys!!! You're the MVP!!!
Made this just for venting and this support is amazing!!!
Still reading comments and upvoting you, wish y'all be safe wherever you are!!!
lucidity4all
Oh I thought it was just us Americans
hellie
Here on mallorca the same.
Piccolini
I hear you! Spain is totally mishandling the problem at the moment. This whole regional shit is starting to bother me. Lock us all down ya!!
smellingfartsmakesyoulivelonger
The same thing happens in the UK. When London had tighter rules, lots of people flocked up North, the region punished most by Boris.
smellingfartsmakesyoulivelonger
And now North's vaccines are getting halved so they have enough for people in the South. c*ntservatives are Morons

America here - oregon specifically. Thats what our coast looks like. Its currently 38-62 degrees outside. They dont want the water.
Patxinco
Pretty much the same here then, 42-62

Tamariu FTW! Been there for like 5 summers, big fan!

I love that it's called the British COVID. Our press will have a hernia about that.
SoapyMammaryMasturbation
Our press won't mention it. It would imply that the we're responsible, and they won't go for that, not even to be indignant about it.
CoarseAndSalty
Dude, take a look at people fighting against vaccinations in California. You guys are fucking Nobel Laureates.
NeoHelios
Y'all get second residences?
Kingdomonsterdeath
Start buying rotting produce and plaster them and that building in it! Make it unpleasant for them. What are they gonna do? Call the cops?

gooberthehat
The Spanish are shit too? I thought it was just us Brits and Americans.
ezmicken
Each one of those cunts exist because someone like you stopped being the good guy.
xyrax
It wont be us that eats the rich. It'll be the next more deadly disease that they are to arrogant and privileged to respect that kills them.
EZBzzzzzz
I feel you, in AZ we thought covid would keep the snowbirds home this year but nope, buncha old Iowegins came. And some Canadians.
OhIfIMust
Secondary. Residences.

I lied to someone today & told them due to roommates recent oral surgery & pending more no interactions. Per oral surgeon.

It “costly” to be poor. That’s more accurate. The expense is not always monetary.

LA just re-opened (with some light restrictions) but there are new variants on the horizon & anti-vaxxers want to shut down our vax sites.
adamant
It just feels a bit premature considering how bad things got here.
Enterwittyandfunnyandexpletivedeletednamehere
I'm sorry, this sucks, I'm tired of being the bigger person too. I feel your pain

"Amateurs" - Americans

Literally came here to say “ *laughs in American* ”
raisethejollyroger
I work in vegas...its business as usual. People from all over the country flying in and getting wasted. Almost everyone I work with got cv

Unfortunately... 100% correct
Justtoberight
Why is the restaurant even open? And if it has to be open, why is it not take-away only?
Patxinco
They are only open in the morning, up to 10am. For workers getting their coffee/breakfast. But i think this is more like pre-launch.
Justtoberight
ah ok... I thought this gave them grounds to kick these people out
PrettySureNoActuallyImDefinitelySure
How do you think I feel? I live in the butthole of bad decision making in the US. Florida.
Isometimestakethingsliterally
You're not being the good guy, you're being the sane guy. You don't want to catch it or pass it on to someone else and possibly kill them.
Patxinco
Legit only have hugged my grandma once since March, and previous PCR negative done. She's 80, would destroy me infecting her with it...

Heck, in BC Canada, there are people waving anti lockdown banners from bridges above highways. I also saw some dude wearing a MAGA hat lol.

Every country has morons!
MarleafChef
Ours just has different levels. B-class morons don't wear masks, A-class ones wear red hats, S-class wear confederate flags and white hoods

There are dozens of us!

I’ve seen whole families like with the grandmas and newborns eating hotdogs and arepas in the street. Latam says hi

As an American, my first thought was, "oh shit, what'd we do now?"
indrindri
Lol legitimately my first thought as well
CeeSilver
I'll be honest, my first thought was: I bet it's Florida
OvertleyBadpickuplines
Or southern california.
areis30
at this point, if someone has to change their life style bcs of lockdown, then those people are prolly the reason we need a lockdown.
agonarch
nah everyone probably HAS to change lifestyle, the people who still then REFUSE to change it are the reason we need lockdowns.
areis30
what I meant is that by now, after 1 year of this, people should already be doing some of this stuff, without needing the govt to tell them
agonarch
Ah right, yeah that's true, good point.
DesolateMirror
People with privilege screwing things up for everyone else? Who would've guessed.
Patxinco
If having a 2nd residence means privilege, yes, but they are just normal people, being idiots.
ilikecars
With a home being one, if not the largest purchase in your life, then it should be pretty clear a 2nd home is frivolous and hence privileged
Bioman998
My single residence eats 80% of my monthly budget. I'd say 2 residences is probably getting towards privilege
CongratsYouAreHereNow
That’s a dangerous ratio
kingkongkeom
You pay 80% of your monthly money for utilities and rent / mortgage? From the bottom of my heart I wish you a salary increase asap.

Don't get too salty about British Covid, think of it as pay back for Spanish Flu.
axtr77
The Spanish flu originated in America

People are just cunts. Don't stop being the good guy!

Thanks for this. I feel the same way.

Here's what you do. Get your friends together. Get capsules of fake blood. Wander among the non maskers. Cough fake blood.

People = shit (great song btw)

I'm trying, but this is every single weekend. Since June. Was expecting that, having the elections, they would try being serious, but...
planker300
As a portuguese neighbor who's seeing both our people die daily due to stupidity, pls remain strong, we're in this together. Goodluck
cenataur
Here in England, it's very much the same... Hang in there.
Patxinco
Thanks!

I'm in america. I feel your pain. Good luck and keep safe.

Stupidity is not exclusive to any country. 9/10 people on this planet are idiots. Yes, almost 7 billion people. I firmly believe it.
embodymentofgattaca
This virus has the potential to become so much worse. I think we're seeing the first steps of that with the new variantss Sadly ppl continue
faab64
It is the sad selfish pricks who do this everywhere. In Sweden, the bastards brought the sickness from Italy during their ski trip and then
faab64
They are blamed it on the immigrants who were getting sick working in nursing homes, hospitals & public service, while living with families
faab64
One year later, the same people who let the shit go on, act like they are the ones going to save the nation! I really want to SCREAM!
