Back in March of 2020....in the Alpine skiing area of Ischgl, Austria....there was a big week-long ski event. The emphasis was on bigwigs, expensive rooms, and VIP treatment throughout the week.
Toward the conclusion of this week....a lot of people from all over Europe went home, and took Covid with them. In terms of a super-spreader event....this was probably the most dramatic event of 2020.
So, Ischgl leads to some bartender.....that had Covid to some lesser degree and worked through this week (ton of money made).
For months, there's been an investigation brewing. Town officials....the mayor....hotel management, etc.
Today, the state shut down the whole investigation. No charges.
Why the investigation ended? Mostly because no one could find a single person from the tourism industry who influenced the mayor or city council or health authority.
Still a mess going on? Well....various Germans took to court mechanisms and are suing the hotels for not protecting them. It's anyone's guess if a judge can find fault, and even if they do....you could be talking about a sum less than 10,000 Euro (basically what you paid for the hotel, the meals, the ski passes, and VIP treatment for that week).
