#9  Spain, the UK, Italy and the USA all have problems caused by medical personnel who contracted the virus.

I think I read that this was especially bad in Italy. Maybe it was in Spain also.

#8  I can't tell from the article whether the toll is from controlled, observed environments, or includes the abandoned old folks home where they may of died from Wuhan Flu or of neglect.

#7  Spain is a winter resort destination.
Spain is a gateway from Africa for drugs and trafficing, perhaps of asians.
Lots of foreign visitors.

#3  Spain has a National Health Care System

#2  Spain has a National Health Care System. It is close to a medicare for all but does not cover everything, it has co-pays and is administered by the various provinces.

#1  That's that I was saying. Spain has exactly the same profile as Italy - without being a suburb of Wuhan.
