Hi Ignacio,
Thanks for your comment. Yes, the pandemic has been a terrible time indeed, especially for countries such as Spain who experienced the worst of the first wave. I can remember reading and hearing about the first wave in Spain and I can’t imagine how tough and heartbreaking it must have been. I hope your family was not too badly affected. While we have done very well here in Australia on keeping our death toll low, the long lockdowns have been difficult. Even now we have a third wave of the virus causing deaths and more harsh lockdowns here in Melbourne and Sydney. Luckily, we now have the vaccines which are being rolled out as quickly as possible. We can now see a light at the end of this long tunnel.
Best regards,
Rob

Hi Rob, from Spain

86.527 deaths officially recognised by Spanish government. Many say (numbers picked up from the Public Registration of deaths) that the number could be beyond 110.000.

Australia 1.346 deaths.

What a shame!

Hi Marina. Many thanks for your comment. I appreciate your kind words about my podcast. Yes, the pandemic is extremely stubborn. I am sorry to hear of the ongoing problems in Italy. We too are still having minor outbreaks in Melbourne as we speak, although not as worrying as in Europe. I hope the vaccine roll-out can be accelerated. It really is the solution we all need. In the meantime, stay safe and look after yourself and your family.
Best wishes,
Rob

Hi Rob!
I was wondering how we are going to deal with another wave of Covid 19.
In Italy we have to abide by strict rules again cause the number of infected people is rapidly rising. We too last summer had the impression we had defeated the virus. Many businesses have been suffering from a severe economic crisis since March and the government has planned a further recovery plan. As for the vaccines, here in Italy people have started to get them following a schedule according to which the first ones to be vaccinated are the elderly and all the doctors and nurses who are at the front line.
I like your post as usual. I find it informative and full of new vocabulary.
I wish all of you to have a peaceful year.
I cannot wait to listen to another podcast of yours.
Stay safe and healthy.
Thank you a lot for this great site.
