Mark, if you can't do simple percentage calculations, why should anyone take anything else you say on this subject seriously?
@Mark Badoer: a disgraceful comment. 17,000 deaths are 17,000 too many. Maybe you would think differently if any of your family or friends succumb to this virus. I hope they don’t. How can you put the economy before life?
17.000 deaths, represents 0,00035% of the Spanish population. A tiny drop on a glowing plate. The draconian measures taken by this government however, will affect hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people. Spain has just about the worst government in history.
