1. Let's go. Any value below 50 indicates business pessimism about the future so after 851,400 job losses in March, a fall of almost thirty points in one go in the PMI services index for Spain does not suggest anything good for the economy…
2. Markit: "March’s survey showed that the subsequent decline in overall new business was by far the sharpest recorded in over 20 years of survey history". https://bit.ly/39BTKpR 
3. BREAK: Spain now has 117,710 cases of Coronavirus and 10,935 dead. For the second day in a row, more than 900 people died from Coronavirus in one day in Spain.

Yesterday: 950
Today: 932
4. BREAK: Spain now has more total Coronavirus cases than Italy, if we take yesterday evening's data point as the reference:

Italy, yesterday: 115,242, +4,668
Spain, today: 117,710, +7,472
5. Health Ministry admits Coronavirus information chaos because of Spanish regions: "Data from these regions are prevalent data (people in intensive care today). They do not reflect the total number of persons who have been admitted to the ICU during the reporting period".
6. The Coronavirus intensive care data in Spain is meaningless until the Health Ministry clarifies the daily relationship of the figures published for every Spanish region for every day of the crisis and whether or not each daily regional figure was the total or daily number.
7. Coronavirus in Spain:

Total: 117,710, +7,472
Resolved: 41,448
Active: 76,262

Cured: 30,513, +3,770
Cured rate: 25.92%

Dead: 10,935, +932
Death rate: 9.29%

Not publishing ICU number: meaningless until Health Ministry clarifies regional data.
8. The daily variation of the official Coronavirus total, dead and cured numbers in Spain.
9. The chart of the 10,935 Coronavirus dead in Spain, the daily increases and the cumulative total.
9. The chart of the 30,513 Coronavirus survivors in Spain, the daily increases and the cumulative total.
10. There are even problems with the death figures when we dig into the excess mortality data, regional reporting delays, reduced autopsy or post mortem examination activity and things like the Colleges of Physicians statement on how doctors should fill in the death certificates.
11. In theory, for example, the "total" number of Coronavirus cases in Spain should include, at least:

- PCR confirmed
- Clinical confirmed: admitted
- Clinical confirmed: mild, sent home
- Suspected: phone tracking
12. The daily variation of Coronavirus figures in Spain with 5-day rolling average:
13. In the absence of free questions, there is nothing announced in the daily session of robotic propaganda from the Prime Minister's office, Moncloa, that they could not send out in an email.
