Hi, Mr. Deplorable recollector.
I would like to inform you that you are becoming wildly popular in one of the most important Spanish forums. People are eagerly waiting for your next update and also want to know if you have any particular forecast for Spain.
I think Spain is a unique case in Europe, because it was hit most severely than any other European country and it is also the only country to have suffered a second wave during summer. Mild temperatures and a higher grade of pre-existing immunity can somehow stall this autumn/winter wave, methinks.
This is the particular thread in which Spanish forum users are discussing and sharing your updates:

In case you're interested you might register and drop there and say a few words. We will be following your updates from GodlikeProductions in any case (which is also becoming popular in that forum).
Take care,

Quoting: Spanish_guy i think DR needs to make a counsulting company. im sure a lot of governments, companies, etc would gladly pay for his services.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78458551 Did any government or company ask DR a single question by now... even while they could have done so for free, they didn't.
Or did they?
Their experts know the numbers, graphs and statistics better than most of us here do. Yet they are letting it happen. What does this tell you?
Yesterday, on Dutch TV... they are going to close bars and restaurants for a month. The night before, vast numbers of customers in bars, negating and ignoring any and all pandemic regulation. Bar owner interviewed, says he's sorry, says he feels ashamed blabla.... but no one was fined! Not a single person!
In Belgium, virologist Steven Van Gucht on TV after some comments was ending with "I have full confidence (we will pull this through/we will succeed if we follow the regulations" (something of the sort) while avoiding looking directly at the camera - looking sideways at the floor in fact - and looking very bad, almost sick!
Many groups of people have been making sure for months the Coronavirus got spread as effectively as possible by behaving like what we here would call "retards" - organizing parties at home, attending super spreader events and doing everything without wearing facemasks or respecting any social distancing. I would not be surprised if there are people going around in much visited public areas (shops etc.), intentionally touching surfaces with hands and fingers.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79465269 The governments have the numbers, the projections and the set of measures that if implemented, will control the pandemic and will ensure the survival of the economy.
They KNOW what have to be done.
But, here is the issue. Or better, the issues.
The government have a ton of plans for a pandemic. But those plans are OLD, over 30 years old, and have never been updated.
The world changed dramatically in the last 30 years. The economy in 2020 and the economy in 1990 are different like day and night.
We are at the point where the full lock-downs plan is gathering dust on governments tables.
They have already decided to do anything else, but full lock-down...unless the situation changes to the point where full lock-downs are the last option.
No full lock-downs this month, I am 100% sure of that.
I am also almost 100% sure that there won't be any full lock-down in the first week of November.
But the way I see things unfolding, I am 50/50 on full lock-downs after first week of November, because it will be BAD.
Bad enough to scare the governments, and will get worse enough by mid-November, when there is going to be enough reasoning to activate the full lock-downs plans, all over Northern Hemisphere.
Will they actually do it?
I have no idea.
Will it matter if they wait until mid-November?
Not even a little bit.
