    The day will come when even SL will have to end up closing because there will no longer be anything to report.

    About time! How many more Catalananians have to die before people start listening to the rules. Mask it or casket!

      EVERYBODY is wearing a mask inside and outside in Barcelona. You see people walking their dogs wearing a mask. Stop this nonsense. The problem is: public transportation, schools and families…
      The increase in case has exploded since schools reopened…

      I wouldn’t bet on those primitives to start following the rules. Maybe they need another dose of Franco’s authority to really get them in line.

        Either you’re being humorous or you’re a totally despicably racist human being.

        That is an appalling and insensitive thing to say.

        What a terrible thing to say! Do your homework and learn of the atrocities that Franco perpetrated on Catalunya, trying to stamp out their language and culture. Hundreds of thousands died at his orders.
        You make me sick. It’s no wonder the world is a mess.

      Lipper: Catalonians? What about Spaniards? Do you also believe in about Narnians?

    I think the elderly realize how important it is for young people to get together. Open everything up NOW. Its time we realize that sacrifices are required, and it shouldn’t be the young people sacrificing their very important social obligations. They need to be at bars learning proper social skills. Lets make the sacrifice of some people worth it…for the future. Let’s be reasonable here.
