State Shutdown 'Lite' Being Announced Shortly

 In about two hours, there's supposed to be a big Hessen press conference with the Premier-President (Bouffier), which details out the next batch of state measures.....unrelated to the list that Chancellor intends to talk about tonight.

What's coming?

Kinos (theaters) are to be shut down for a month.

Trade fairs....shut down for a month.

Bars, clubs, discos, and restaurants to be closed.  Pick-up of food to be allowed to stay open.

Entertain venues of any type....closure until 1 December.

All amateur sports facilities....shut-down as well.

Pools....closed until 1 December.

Hotels?  No guests from 4 November, to 1 December.

Only members of your house, and one 'guest' house....may meet and socialize.

Schools oddly enough....stay open.

Gyms and fitness studios.....closed from 4 November to 1 December.

Shops and stores allowed open but with a couple extra 'new' measures (unknown what these will be....maybe severely limiting the number in each shop).  

Gut feeling of public acceptance?  The bar and club thing will be the toughest one for folks to accept.  My guess is that cops will be on the move every evening and citing dozens of violations will be the norm.

The hotel operations?  Serious jolt to their business and profit margin.  

The odds of reaching 1 December and this getting extended?  Well....that's the thing you really don't know.  It would basically collapse Christmas for the entire state if this continued for December as well. 

Update: For the Pfalz state (Mainz).....same list....their effort would start on 2 November and run till 1 December.
