They actually use some of same words as you as I've noticed from speaking to a Colombian on whatsapp video calls. I didn't even understand her at first but she's learnt to speak slower . As I said, a lad from around here who I know has a missus over there and has an apartment so when he's out in Medellin, that is someone I know and if that bird stays in touch, she can come along to the coast. As for danger, is a lot not just the news making countries look worse? It's easy to watch the news and see a bunch of kids shooting each other in a street, but then you watch youtuber travel videos and everything looks much different. You can tell watching videos that the streets are edgy at night, but the night-life and general people seem friendly. It's more muggings/pick pockets to watch, but even then, there are loads in Europe so you just need to use your wits. The cost out there is ridiculously cheap. You could spend like £20 a day there, it's only the equivalent of £2 for a meal that would cost more like £14 here. When you're in Europe, spending less than £100 a day is seen as saving, well atleast for me.

Well there are more "safer" spots to go to in Colombia these days I think than Mexico, more options to go to that are nicer. In Mexico you're looking at the likes of Cancun, which is just hotels and beaches if we are honest or Puerto Vallarta, which looks nice, with the whole Mexican feel, but not a whole lot to do. In Colombia you could go to Medellin and then head to the Caribbean coast and get the best of both worlds. But to be fair, they say it's more muggings/pickpockets you need to watch out for nowadays than the likes of kidnappings because the latter's not really been a thing since 2002. I'd actually say Police worry me the most in the majority of Latin American countries(well in the USA as well), they are corrupt cunts who would do what they can to extort a tourist. But still, millions go there every year and are sound(other than the pickpockets and scams that can happen), so fuck it. Let's go!

I'm gona just head straight to Colombia instead of Mexico or USA aswell. USA isn't appealing enough Mexico is too fucked up and you're limited in where you can go. Cancun looks shit and Puerto Vallarta looks nice but not as nice as Colombia. Besides, the Colombian coast looks mint(Cartagena, Santa Marta..), a lad I used to work has a missus from there and is heading back to Medellín when he can and I've actually been video calling and texting a Colombian woman on whatsapp for the past month(don't ask...) and if I'm still in touch with her by then, I'd take her with me...that's not the reason for going though, as I've been thinking of it for a while and especially during the lock down. I just wanna go to the Americas and that seems the best suited country these days as Mexico and Brazil are too fucked. My savings have taken a blow as well so I need to be realistic and focus on 1 country. For 3 weeks probably. A mix of Latin and Carribbean culture. Got to have your wits about you over there but I'll just dress down and buy 2 mobiles for if I get mugged, which is just a what if, and to be fair could happen anywhere. And money there goes along way so I'll make sure to not carry too much at a time. The Spanish will help aswell of course. Depending on the covid, next year is the aim. March maybe? Feb? also if I do get robbed at some point do you reckon they will be reasonable and let me keep the sim? on a serious note, it should be alright. @Mpache @Berserker As for this year, I'm still thinking of Andalucía, barring the covid shit, and will probably go in Oct as it'll be too busy now. Spring and Autumn in Spain anyday.

What is it like in Canada for riots also? It's just a big mess to be honest.
-
Here comes the "rebrote" in China @Inti Brian, it was always going to happen. But aren't they saying in Italy that this new strain isn't as strong or have I misinterpreted them?

The best part in terms of panic buying throughout all this would still have to be the scenes from the Netherlands at the start of their outbreak Thousands queuing up outside coffee shops for weed, then the day after, the government said that coffee shops could remain open .

Do you watch it mate? It's a great series to be honest. Palermo is easily the best actor in season 3 from where I'm at up to now. A refreshing character as well with being from Buenos Aires. All the characters have something about them though apart from Estocolmo(Stockholm) and la inspectora/lisboa(Lisbon) as they are fucking shit.

They are now going to be removing a lot of sugar and salt from foods and drinks in the country according to a nutritionist on tele. So like Lucozade, the likes of Coke will now no longer be drinkable as it'll taste like shit, and the likes of Mcdonalds burgers and other foods you may want to treat yourself to will also start turning shite due to all new changes in ingredients, etc? It'll probably also lead to various foods being banned entirely. Why should, what people regard as a bit of a luxury, be taken away because of a minority of obese people who are usually that way more because of the amount they eat and lack of exercise rather than the actual foods or drinks themselves? May not sound a big deal, but this is all principle. People are within their right to eat what they want. Let's just fucking ban everything.They will probably ban meat altogether soon, no more alcohol, can't walk down the street in case you fall off a 6 inch curb....Everything's offensive or a big health and safety risk in this country and it's genuinely embarrassing. "It's a risk to health" and how much shite do we breath in in terms of co2 gasses? How many people die due to car accidents everyday? How many people die at work on farms and in construction jobs every year and how many injuries? Let's just literally ban everything in life. It's a very patronising country this. Whenever you turn on the tv screens, some stuck up posh gimp is telling us how to live, how to eat, how to drink, how to do this, or that. Just fuck off is all I can say. It's pathetic. They are using covid as an excuse, what aload of nonsense. Letting a virus into your country in the first place is the problem. If a virus starts out in a country, then you take it far more seriously. Not allow it to kill loads of people then use the foods people consume as an excuse, track everyone's phones, or whatever other nonsense they are going to invent and use Covid as an excuse for.

It's Blake. @Berserker and @El Profesor

China and Korea weren't affected anywhere near as bad in the end. China is the size of England, Spain, Italy, France and Germany combined and they only had 80,000 cases, while these countries combined have had over a million. These countries between them have had more deaths than China had cases. It's also already mutated quite alot of times as all viruses do. It just seems too contagious for it to just disappear. You'd expect someone to always have it.
-
In terms of world wide, there have been more cases than ever reported today. Europe obviously improving but world wide, it's still far from over. It's inevitable that there will also be a second wave here in England aswell due to recent antics across the country from people having raves and parties, to beach goers, to protesters and rioters. It has all the makings for a second wave that could be even bigger than the first. Let's just hope the virus doesn't mutate into a deadlier form. In fact let's hope it mutates into a much milder form. All we need now is a world war at the end of it. We'll all be living underground by as early as 2022!!

It doesn't matter in the UK mate, it's all under control and as long as we keep washing our hands while singing happy birthday, use hand sanitizer, wear masks(but only as of the 20th June) and stay alert, it'll be fine. The protests are fine, everyone is stood 2 meters from each other. It doesn't matter that there are 1,000s of them in a small area, hand sanitizer is being handed out. I don't know what you're worried about mate...

He was already in heaven. Nah but on a serious note, it's shit news to hear to be honest and we shouldn't joke really
-
A man has just died in a cannabis factory fire in Dudley. Awful news....just think of all that wasted weed that has gone up in smoke
-
The beaches are back open in Italy then. The scenery around there looks very nice in the background, it has to be said..... @Bluewolf
-
Literally the WHOLE of the town centre around here has huge traffic jams simply because McDonald's drive through has just opened .
-
Are you still on lockdown now mate?
-
18,319 cases 570 deaths in Argentina. They have shown people how it's done! @Berserker
-
Greece are open as well @Fusion we are coming to create(or "Crete"?) a second wave... On a serious note, it's not wise to open up to us yet as we are still having too many cases and deaths, also it doesn't seem fair that we can go there quarantine free but they have to endure a 2 week quarantine if they come here.
-
Nah, there isn't anything about at the moment mate. Something will come up though.
-
Todays total deaths............................ Zero! Only 71 cases as well, so it's dropped significantly just in a week. I'm guessing we'll be showing similar stats soon ourselves as we were simply behind Spain by a few weeks, that's all. The problem is, our lockdown measures could mean we suffer for a longer period of time. The biggest worry now seems to be for our brothers in the Americas as it is fucked there now. Peru getting it quite bad as well now unfortunately. Same with Chile in fact and obviously Brazil themselves. @Inti Brian

600-900 deaths a day for a period and then it was 4 the other day and 2 yesterday. They haven't confirmed today's though. The drop in cases to 96 is a big one as well. Catalunya only had 10, after being one of the worst affected areas and Madrid 30 I think. Some regions like Valencia, Galicia and Pais Vasco are now reporting no cases at all. Hopefully we can start seeing this before long here, but I get the impression that we are far from over as we haven't been behaving here and the measures have been relaxed too quickly. Many people are just doing their normal thing now and have been for weeks if we are honest.

2 deaths in Spain yesterday and just 90 cases in the whole country, which includes the Canaries, Balearics, Ceuta and Melilla. That's a big improvement. Looks like it's almost dead there now, whether it comes back is to be seen though.
