German federal law dictates the conditions of 2G.....meaning you enter a place/facility....vaxed-up or recovered from Covid, and it's handed to the states to manage this (or define where it will be used).
So if you are a restaurant or bar....allowed to stay open in these times, you have to manage customers in a blunt/direct way. If you tried to look the other way? Cops and inspectors come around....inspecting. Fines and shutdowns are possible.
So Focus brought up this story out of NW Germany. Older gal (75) shows up at a restaurant for a birthday bash of a friend. She's done her job......she's jabbed-up and meets all conditions.
The restaurant staff has to conclude her entry.
Well....the old German gal asks for their vaccination status and their ID. They say NO, that's not the game.....they don't have to offer the same situation.
Old gal gets bit angry, and they block her way into the restaurant. She is eventually denied entry.
So, here's the thing....the law is written in one certain way.....only the customers are audited and reviewed.....if you were a customer and wanted an assurance that they are immunized? Well....no, it's not written that way.
Could the pub or restaurant have people who are NOT 2G compliant? Yes, but probably with the assurance of a Covid test that they are OK.
Screwed-up? This will be openly discussed for a while but it's the funny way that the law was defined and written. I'm pretty sure as we get deeper into a regulated life....challenges will be mounted, with most likely failing. The problem here....each time some event occurs like this, you'd flip on this logical mind, and ask stupid questions. The regulated world isn't built for someone who asks logical questions.
Can we blame the commercial world for this mess? No. They were handed some regulation to comply with, or get heavily fined. If the government said to check everyone's backpack or handbag for knives.....they'd have to do it.
