Recommendations & Requests
Review for Moonette: I’ve just celebrated my 70th birthday this year. As my skin is very dry and thin, Moonette products are very soothing. I use the coconut lip balm and face cream first thing in the morning, then I apply the eye cream around the eye contour and the 3 Kings body cream on my arms and legs. After showering I use the body cream again over the whole body to keep my skin moisturized. In the evening I apply the lip balm again and the anti-ageing serum (face oil) before going to bed. I do not use other products as Moonette skincare products are natural, non-irritating and absolutely satisfactory for my skin. I am so pleased that I don’t suffer from dry itchy skin and cracked lips anymore! Lise D., Torrox, lisedeleuran AT hotmail D0t com

How reliable is the coronavirus data coming from Madrid? : After a major standoff over the partial closure of Madrid, Spain’s government is now locked in a numbers fight with regional authorities who are relentlessly demanding the restrictions be lifted. For days now, the leftwing government of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has been casting doubt on Covid-19 figures from the Madrid public health authorities.
But the region, which is run by a rightwing coalition led by the conservative Popular Party, has hit back furiously, with the PP accusing the government of using “false figures” to justify imposing a state of emergency in Madrid.
Moving the goalposts
The restrictions initially went into force on October 2nd and were supposed to apply to any area of Spain with an infection rate of more than 500 cases per 100,000 people over the previous 14 days, which at the time was only Madrid.
Just days beforehand, the regional rate had risen above 780, compared with just 275 in the rest of Spain — itself at the time the highest in the European Union.
Madrid is now pushing for the restrictions to be removed saying its infection rate has dropped to around 460 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
But the government has since moved the goalposts, now saying the aim is to lower the incidence to around 100 cases per 100,000 people. Full story: https://www.thelocal.es/20201015/how-much-can-we-trust-coronavirus-data-from-madrid

The endless legal doubts about electric scooters: Is it a crime to drive them without a license? Do you need insurance? The boom of electric scooters as a means of urban transport is generating some problems of coexistence. Accidents caused by these vehicles have tripled in large cities like Barcelona. But, although it is true that most municipalities have rushed to approve a regulation that regulates its use within the municipality, there are still important and numerous legal doubts about the requirements that their drivers must meet. Depending on the characteristics of the scooter, they can face large administrative fines and even prison sentences.
