Hi Stu, when I was a kid in San Francisco we used to use the words flat and apartment but they were two different things for us. Flats were units in a building that encompassed the entire floor from front to back like a townhouse but a single floor. You could have multiple units on a floor but each unit fronted the street and had a back porch with stairs down to a common yard. Apartments were just portions of a large building with no design specificity.
My family and I are on our way to Spain in two weeks so we're hoping the high vaccination rates will allow for things to remain open. We will have had our third shot and the children will be done by then as well. I thought things were okay when we bought the tickets but COVID has made it hard to make any decisions with certainty.
We can see a doctor same day sometimes next day or 2 at most. Salar nr Granada. Xx
That's surely one of the bigger political gaffes, Pablo, old mate. I can only imagine one of his family suddenly realising the fascist symbology, a look of total horror, and a frantic whisper in Pablo's ear. Exit stage left. Rapidly.
Selfcentered selfish individuals screwing up hospital bed availability and operations being cancelled. I have no problem with people refusing vaccination but you have sign a waiver saying you do not jump the line up for treatment.
no country will ever be at 100 percent vaccinated, not with a revolving booster schedule . carry on .
I think that some people think that we are idiots, what a lame excuse
Living in the Uk l am totally ashamed that Boris is our 'leader', it's a joke!
Vaccine passports make absolutely no sense unless you understand it’s not about public health…
Do you remember what they said: "we just ask you to stay at home for 14 days so the hospitals won´t get overloaded. So they can take care of those ill with covid." And here we are now nearly 2 years later.
Personally I don.´t know anyone who been to hospital for covid o died with it. But I know 14 people who had it. The average time was 4 days they were ill then it was better. Now it is an endemic and everyone will face the covid sooner or later. Then you have to choose how you will fight it. Either with chemicals or the natural" bullets and gun powder" the body can absord from nutrients.

Hi Stu,
Ok, I've got it, your pulling my plonker 🥴
I'm not falling for it 🧸
Dr. Nayra Txasko,
Profesora biología en secundaria y Dra. en Genética, has pointed it out quite clearly on TV during a Green passport protest in Tenerife: Spain has NO EVIDENCE of the virus (the Ministry of Health has already had to admit it) and that there will now be a lawsuit based on this.
Spain is going to have to learn to live with Covid. To live with it means allowing people to catch it.
No one expects the Spanish imposition…
Hi stuart, I have a blast reading the comments on your videos. Please don't delete those comments from ingorantees and conspiracy theorists who leave a gem from time to time, you would spoil my fun. Greetings from Valencia (Spain).
Arrived late for church, left early ? Is Spain still a Christian country ?
I’ve read in a couple places than Spanish attitudes towards Franco and his era are complicated, so much so that foreigners should avoid the subject at all costs. Would you agree?
To me, I might live in a flat but rent an apartment for my holiday.
When I lived in San Francisco I lived in a flat. It was an older building, well 1920, and had 3 floors. Each floor had its own front door onto the street, which had a different lock. The higher floors had stairs leading down to their own front door and the stairs were blocked off from the other flats. My ground floor flat was smaller because of the wall blocking of the 2 sets of stairs. The guy at the top had the biggest flat because he didn't have a wall for stairs. Apartments have a common entrance, which you normally need a key for and then another key for your apartment which is off a corridor. Well that's the difference in SF.
Yes we do not have same Covid rules in states either and it is confusing just like it apparently is in Spain. It has become so political that there are several court cases, where several judgements have come down against Government and even the Presidents rules. As far as health care in the USA, there is great and timely care, but the rub you need to be in a Health care plan that is affordable. No problem for myself and wife but not everyone is in our position so they may be in the so called Affordable Health Plan that was suppose to be the answer, but it is not affordable to many that may not have good incomes , so they go for high deductible plans which reduce preventive care. My daughter lives in Ireland and must use private health insurance because the public insurance is very slow and long to get appointments. Sounds like the Health Care in Spain is very supportive of its population.
Thanks Stuart 😊
Lockdown the unvaccinated, they are a menace to the rest of us. Covid passports should be used everywhere. This is pure common sense.
I don't know if people don't want vaccinations because they feel it's forced on them or what. Don't children have to have several vaccinations before they are allowed into school? Are these 'forced injections ' all right?
Appartamento is the Italian…nothing like 'Flat' there…
Thanks as always. What countries including my own, Canada, should do, for starters, is take a leaf out of the Singapore book. As one of the most well run countries in the world.
They do not refuse to treat the patient but if you show up at hospital with Covid unvaccinated, YOU pay for your treatment and not the taxpayer.

Hi Stuart what are you getting Mia the dog for Christmas ? Keep up the great work all the best
Flat is to Piso as Apartment is to Apartamento. All the same. Don’t get into that narrative.
Boris Johnson took his son to Peppa Pig world at the weekend? He is allowed a day off with his son now and again!
Had one studied the Japanese situation (and solution) on time, we were in a quite different situation now.
Muchas gracias desde Cangas de Onis, Asturias.
Living in an era of deeply divided modern beliefs, we can hardly claim popularity for any belief. Adversarial sides, determined to conquer the other’s, are fueled by many micro-segmented media outlets. Most of the media outlets are controlled by the wealthy. And although the rich are out of touch with mainstream life, they push a self-fulfilling agenda of misinformation.
Spain Speaks is an independent media outlet broadcasting a review of wealthy-controlled misinformation from one man’s perspective. His name is Stewart. Stewart is an editor, researcher, developer, and, in short, his videos are a one-person operation. His biased opinions of just one or two sentences are often dropped into video recordings after Stewart reviews a select piece of misinformation. These one-man’s opinion videos have a repetitive and predictable sequence. First, Stewart gives a synopsis of the media story. Second, he shows a text depiction of the media article, and he then reads the displayed text aloud. Often the synapses and the text are a repetition of the other. After reading the text, the video switches away from the displayed text and shows Stewart sitting at his table, poised in a comfortable computer-gamers chair, at the near end of his luxurious home office and studio room. Here, he again repeats the misinformation with a stopgap conclusion where he adds in his punch-lines, or sometimes his rapier wit.
A politician went to church, what sort of religious sect? We were not informed by either the media source or Stewart. Apparently, the media source spread the story because the gathering at the church was a service celebrating the anniversary of a dictator’s death; Francisco Franco. Stewart fans the flames by further suggesting innuendo where the politician claims he didn’t know it was a Franco celebration or did he lie to the media? In my opinion, there’s a fifty-fifty chance none of it ever happened and that the media made up the entire story in a continuing effort to spread politically charged anger and hate through the populace. The sole image accompanying the article provides no evidence to support the report.
Greetings from Germany
Natural immunity is all you need
Franco is the spice af all the sauces here in spain 🇪🇸. A 45 year old spice.
In Valencia Ciudad – made appointment on Monday and got Thursday morning – 3 days for GP. Also 3 days for flu vaccine, 3 weeks for blood tests. Have no idea if that's normal here or if I just got lucky.
As always … all crazy. A time without reading the channel, and when I come back there are more crazy … clickbait of headlines and a lot of misinformation in the comments, peppered by ignorant, chauvinists, imperialists and all kinds of crazy people. The channel is getting bigger. If it were up to me, everyone outside Spain, to cry to your perfect countries. But curiously no one leaves …. hypocrisy to the limit.
Although there are always some exceptions.
Love looking back at Spain speaks, even when the world is burning, Stuart will still follow government agenda.
Do the Spanish authorities accept people who are exempt from wearing a mask with a doctors note.
Hola Stuart muchas gracias por el vídeo I’ve just had my booster.i don’t think it helped Germany when merkal started bad mouthing talking down Astra Zeneca and initially refusing the vaccine.well now look at the results
Hello, I was in a different county last week being Suffolk and got shingles. I managed to book an appointment by the next day and saw a GP for diagnosis and prescription . Very professional service . Well done Martlesham Heath health centre.👍🏻
