Disco Story

 If you were a successful owner of a German dance-hall or disco in 2019.....you've been looking at business operations over the past 18 months, and probably in a serious amount of depression.  The Covid business has pretty much destroyed your 'plan'.  

This morning, I was watching a piece off N-TV (commercial news in Germany), and they got to a chat over a politician in Rhineland Pfalz (a state in the SW of Germany)....where he wants to force everyone into the line of vaccination (including the skeptics).  So he brings up discos/dance-halls.  

The chief discussion he draws upon (this is the state health minister)....you shouldn't be allowed into a dance establishment without a vaccination slip.

Acceptance of this suggestion?  It's hard to predict.  

While the national numbers say currently.....they've accomplished around 50-to-55 percent, some indicators exist to say it's starting to reach a peak, and it may peak at 65-to-70 percent.  

For the dance-hall/disco folks....they might look at this idea and get worried that half of their 'clients' will be skeptics.  If you return to business, and see only 50-to-60 percent of the 2019 profits.....for some, it'll be a hard reality that they can't accept.

What's likely to start up?  If you made a rule like this....I'd expect a number of no-name start-up guys to find a wooded area....bring in a catering truck and speak-set-up, and just run an illegal dance situation.  

A national policy?  Don't go expecting the impossible.  This will turn into a state-by-state mess.
