Around two days ago, crap hit the fan down in Berchtesgaden, Bavaria. With the Covid-19 numbers reaching serious levels....the authorities stepped in and basically said...if you are a visitor to the city, you need to pack and leave (ASAP).
BR (Bavarian public TV) reports the basic facts to the whole story.
No tests....no exceptions, just pack and leave.
Affecting numbers? The hotel folks in town say in the range of 2,500 folks were on vacation in the city.
Pissed off the hotel managers? To a massive degree. There wasn't even a 24-hour warning attached to the ban rule.
How long will this ban rule be in effect? Roughly two weeks. Course, if you think about it....they can repeat the ban rule.....any time.
If you think about the way that hotels run in Germany.....they all provide a standard breakfast, with bulk goods purchased during the week. So the larger operations probably have 1k to 5k Euro of food stashed in the kitchen.....which will spoil in two weeks, as this ban goes into effect. Help from the government? None.
So there on Tuesday afternoon....this curfew business started up. The rest of the ban rules affect the locals....like schools being closed, and you should remain at home unless it's medical appointments or essential work required.
The odds of this repeating? I'd give it a 50-50 odds. Just another reason why skeptical views exist.
