Early this morning on N-TV news (commercial network here in Germany), they came up with the new story over the Coronavirus.
There are two active cases of Coronavirus now, from the NRW region (northwest Germany).
What the authorities have figured out from these two NRW folks...is that they attended some type of carnival 'fest' in Gangelt (a big village of 6,000 roughly). On this particular evening.....roughly 300 folks were there....drinking up beer and having a pretty good time.
The local authorities of Gangelt are discussing this idea....getting all the names of the 300 folks, and imposing a two-week home-quarantine deal on them (to include their kids, spouses, etc).
The first of dozens of event like this? One might go and imagine this being a fairly common thing over the next two months. In fact, you might exit out of home-quarantine episode number one....being on a train to work on the first day out of a two-week home-quarantine.....where some guy with a fever and vomiting....falls over in the midst of the train-car. Then some police take your name, and by 8 AM of the next day......you get this guy at the frontdoor to tell you that you've entered a second two-week quarantine period.
One could imagine a guy suffering through two or three of these home-quarantine episodes. You better stock up on paint and wallpaper....to do a bunch of home improvement projects for 2020.
