I was in Murcia City this morning. I was parked across the road from the main entrance of the Hospital Quiron Salud. My wife was inside having scans, but I stayed outside (social distancing - no need for me to go inside as well).

I was really impressed. Outside the main entrance, and for around 100 metres in each direction, there were workers spraying disinfectant and then then using a high pressure hose from a large water tanker lorry to get everything clean.

They finished and left.

As they were driving away, a dog walker wandered up and let her big dog take a dump outside of the main entrance.

Dog people .... you have to be kidding

Not at all surprised but disgusted.  
Do not wish to imagine the hygiene in that particular home.   Gross.

If this heath crisis and subsequent education regarding disease control in any language doesn’t register with people, I despair 😩

Hi Kelvin,

As someone who also has a dog, I hope the owner picked up their dog's business in a bag and sprayed the area with a disinfectant solution from a spray bottle?  The first part is certainly a legal requirement and I believe the second may now be as well.  If not, it should be.  Unfortunately, there will always be people that don't think the rules apply to them, or simply don't care.

Hope Vivienne is OK, please pass on my best wishes.

Kind regards,

Kim

Hi Kimmy

Today's tests went well, thanks.

No ... the dog walker behaved like the worst of dog walkers - outside the hospital main entrance as well.

I couldn't make this stuff up
