"We live in a divided world, we all feel it…now’s the time for solidarity.” Idris Elba
These past few weeks and days, news about the coronavirus pandemic has come so thick and fast it’s almost impossible to keep up – and although it is certainly important to be informed about the situation and how to avoid being infected and passing on the infection, you might agree that it is not altogether healthy for our minds to be exposed to every worrying turn of events. Filtering the information flood is key to coping with the crisis.
We at Affordable Mallorca are no news channel, and day-by-day reporting is something we normally leave to the daily papers, whether in print or online. This said, we all find ourselves in a situation where everybody has a lot of practical questions of the how- and where-to kind – and to answer those is exactly what we’re here for and what you, our readers, have come to expect from us.
