A couple of days ago, I noted the Spanish four-star hotel in Tenerifle (the isle off the coast of Africa)....had a guest with the Coronavirus, and the government authorities had shut the hotel down....not allowing guests in, or out. Altogether? About a 1,000. Roughly one-quarter of them are Germans.
ARD (public TV here in Germany, Channel One) picked up the subject today.
Yes, there are hostile feelings at the hotel. Some folks have just said fine....let them walk around the hotel or the beach.....they don't believe the advice being given.
Two German doctors as guests? They've given commentary about the situation....avoiding giving their names.
What they say is that this is a marginal quarantine situation, and mental stress is harming some folks.
The Spanish government has reacted....basically detailing out ten mental-health specialists to come in and help people cope. No one says if they will be speaking German or whatever language required by the guests. It's hard to imagine the advice they might give.....other than being vigilant and pray a bit.
All of this has led the two German doctor-guests to ask the German government to 'send' help.
Some commentary suggests that the quarantine might end on the 10th day (instead of 14), and I would imagine every single guest will leave, and anyone who has reservations for the next month or two.....probably will cancel out of this hotel deal. The problem here is that most countries don't have a plan on how to handle an event like this, and you just make up the rules as you go along.
