I'm worried about this spreading to Greece, Spain & Portugal at this point.

This is beyond upsetting for the loss of produce (I'd only just discovered the joy of olive leaf tea as well!) and for the huge drop in income all of those farmers are going to feel.

Hopefully it passes more quickly and mercifully than it seems it will.
