Each the morgue and the hospital have closed up to now 10 days, however Madrid, like the remainder of the nation, has an extended solution to go as the four-phase transition to what the federal government calls “the brand new normality” begins.

On a standard 2 Might, the town could be marking the anniversary of the 1808 revolt against French occupation. As we speak, the occupier is a virus greatest resisted by staying off the streets reasonably than taking to them.

The bodily, social and financial uncertainty drags on, and there’s a poignancy to the signal on the shuttered neighbourhood bar the place mother and father used to cease for a postprandial G&T whereas handing their youngsters cash to purchase sweets on the Chinese language nook store.

“Se necesita camarero,” it says: waiter required.

The cafe not far away pronounces its persevering with closure with a observe that ends with a easy exhortation: “Chin up, Spain. Chin up, Madrid.”
