'Corona-Parties'

 With spring, come less and less enthusiasm for compliance with the Covid-19 ban rules.

I noticed off N-TV news this morning several episode of non-compliance from the weekend here in Germany.

Dortmund: wild 'Corona party', lot of booze being consumed, police called.  Confrontation started up and at least three policemen were injured in some way.  

Lünen: another 'Corona party', booze involved, several other policemen injured. 

Illerrieden:  another 'Corona party', 11 guests, police called.  In this episode...one guest had consumed enough alcohol...that he required transport to a local hospital.

Vallendar: 'Corona party' held in a parking garage area, with police called.  Everyone took off as the police arrived....but they were all (24 of them) eventually cornered.  In their defense, they'd required everyone to go and take the quickie-test before participating in the party (still illegal though). 

The problem here....spring is in the air, and very shortly....there will be literally thousands of these parties every Saturday evening.  You can write all the ban-rules you desire, but the enthusiasm has been mostly drained away.
