> Everyone who warned about the upcoming situation was ridiculed and/or insulted in a coordinated effort between government and media By media? Does it mean the Spanish government owns the majority of newspapers and TV stations? That's not the idea I had from Spain. > I mean, my regional government which is corrupt, and sometimes hilariously inept has done a better job. What the *@^- man. I wonder how a regional government with no power, as the central government took it from them, could have done a better job at anything.

> By media? Does it mean the Spanish government owns the majority of newspapers and TV stations? That's not the idea I had from Spain. Well, that's what happend, IDK if that has anything to do with ownership or not, but I mean, the message of the government was followed by media to the inch, with very few exceptions here and there. > I wonder how a regional government with no power, as the central government took it from them, could have done a better job at anything. Because before the central government took control they already buyed masks, gloves, respirators and put some protocols in place. In fact later on some of this stuff was sent to Madrid. Not to mention that there was a lot of arguments between the central government and some regions on how to manage the situation, and some disobedience too.
