Corona-Parties

In the past week, this social 'gimmick' has started up in Germany.

Basically, a bunch of young people will stage a backyard bar-b-q with plenty of booze and beer.  The parties go from a couple of folks, to well over a hundred. 

In the real sense of the word, they are violating the general guidelines of the isolation or non-social contact being preached by German politicians.

So cops are getting called out.  One story appeared this morning in the press....talking about a couple of parties from last night in Freiburg, where cops were called and frustrated party-goers refused to leave or halt the party.

Here's the thing....with the university operations and local schools shut-down.....what exactly do young Germans have to do, especially with warm temperatures occurring?  Drink and party.

Against the law?  There's not exactly any laws written for this.  If your village or town does a curfew, then that law would be effective, and the police could bust up the party very easily.

This weekend?  Well, regionally here where I live...it's cooling off big-time (some areas will be below freezing at night).  That might help for a few days, to screw up the party atmosphere.
