Going to Spain tomorrow

[Dootie]

How stupid am I being??

I'm off on a short break to Spain tomorrow. Not in an affected (or largely affected anyway) area, but I note the situation is getting worse by the day.

Staying near Torrevieja. I'm there tomorrow until Wednesday.

Incredibly.

Like @Butternutbrownie said

I wouldn't go.

Government advises against all but essential travel. Would your health insurance even cover you?!?

Can you even go? Suprised they are still flying

As at right now I can still go and my flight is okay.

No way! Surely your insurance would be valid?!

Irresponsible in the extreme.

I have to say I looked at your title and thought: "What?"

Bonkers.

Not just incredibly stupid but highly irresponsible as you are putting not just yourself but everyone you come in contact with should you become infected at risk in addition to adding an extra burden onto the NHS.

This is one of those very clear cases op.

You CAN do something, but that doesn't mean you SHOULD do something.

I'm really surprised that the government are still allowing flights for holidays and leisure. Surely it should be restricted to essential travel only, especially to affected countries.

Stupid and selfish.

What about travelling in this country? I am supposed to be away for the night 2 hours away - surely that is ok?

Today's official line re Spain.

If you’d have posted this time last week, everyone’s advice would be to go and even that was reckless then.

If anyone needs to ask this question today I really have lost all hope.

We need to resurrect those posters from WW2 - 'Is your journey really necessary?'

Spain has declared a state of national emergency I think
I wouldn’t be going, even if flights aren’t cancelled

I was driving down to Spain, leaving Wednesday. I have just cancelled. My daughter works in Madrid. The whole city is on lockdown. She was in tears talking to us on Skype.
Everything, and I mean everything has shut down. She will be OK but it is a very scary feeling.
Flying will be easier, Torrevieja is not Madrid.
But the whole country is feeling the pain.
You're not going for too long and probably will be fine.
But it's not a happy situation out there at present.

Nope, not a chance

I'm in Madrid - don't do it. Everything is shut except pharmacies and supermarkets. There will be nothing to see and do, and you might not be able to get out again.

A plane with other people on it, when we have 10k cases here?
Do you think it's fair that more than likely you'll expect rescuing by British government when your accommodation or flight has cases?

I wouldn't go. your insurance won't cover you if you get sick from coronavirus or if your flight is cancelled as a result of coronavirus.

I know someone who works for an insurance company and they're literally adding this into all their policies. If you want to be covered, they up your premiums.

Everything will be shut and you may not be allowed back. Utter madness to travel, we have friends and family in the Valencia area. There’s no way we’d be going!

Are you planning to complain when you are sick and stuck there?
