Today's good news is that in the President's speech he said the government is studying the measures (and conditions) to let children under 12 outside to run around and play for the first time in 6 weeks starting Monday April 27th (in some regions they are allowed to accompany a parent to take our the trash or go grocery shopping or walk the dog if they are too young to be home alone, but that's not running or playing). This topic has become so prominent in the past few days that I've been wondering if we weren't seeing a small rebellion brewing. Tensions do seem on the rise with no clear end in sight. We seem to have passed the peak ten days ago, numbers dropped, but seem to be staying constant at a level that is not low...
In other good news, the field hospital set up in Madrid (here's an interesting Spanish article about it from last month) has announced they're going to close down one of the pavilions because the number of patients has gone down enough to let them to that! 🥳 Clear sign of things improving. Funnily though, the three field hospitals in the Valencia Community (Castellón, Valencia & Alicante) were finally completed a couple of days ago and are now ready to receive patients.

Today's bad news is that the President also announced that he's going to ask Congress to approve another 2-week extension to the State of Alarm, until May 9th. That will make it 8 weeks. *sigh* He also said that hopefully at that point they'll start the gradual opening up process, but we'll have to wait a couple of weeks to find out what that might look like.
So I think it's time to just go wild and dance on the balcony... (my neighbors pumped up the volume after the daily clapping this evening) 😜
Today's smile (in case that video didn't crack you up), comes from all the talented people participating in the live "One World: Together at Home" festival organized by WHO and Global Citizen.
I'm watching and listening in as I write this... Have been enjoying it for the past 4h, but I think I'm going to have to catch the end when I get up in the morning. It's almost midnight and the headliners won't be on until 2am. Mañana más!
