[QUOTE="Mark in Spain, post: 2307058, member: 530339"] I have just read your post and think you have serious grounds to stand your ground. people just dont get it. I am an estate agent in Spain and so not looking forward to going back to work at the start of next month. since lockdown I havent really headed out to much as I have done my best to avoid meeting others. I live in the middle of the mountains in a cherry farming valley with no neighbours (true self isolation which I love)Yet from that I will be going back to meeting clients which I so do not want to do. My clients will be English over in Spain who I am sorry to say do not seem to follow the rules while on their holidays. To be honest with you I could stay in the mountains at home forever but Money is money and without it, and without a spanish benefit I wont be able to live. Personally I will refuse to deal with anyone who do not wear a mask or use gloves. I will be pointing out to all clients that I am a type 1 and would appreciate their understanding. if any do not take kindly to this I will refuse to deal with then and if the boss of the company doesnt like it, well quite frankly I wont give a monkies to what he will think as I am scared of the virus. I know the statistics for Belgium and how many of us lost their lifes during their first spike. Its a frightening time for us all in our special club and honestly I think as we are high risk we should all be kept safe and not have to return to work yet. I have always thought I have one shot at the title with my life and want to be on this earth for many a year yet. why should we have to be forced back into working is really not on. Maybe a stand is needed and a movement started by us all. I want to return to work and I need to return to work. BUT ON OUR TERMS and to be kept as safe as we can be.
