First it was the lateral thinkers, then the mulled wine drinkers, now it's people who want to take their children out into the fresh air.
But that is a funny distortion of "lateral thinking." Truly thinking laterally, i.e., open-endedly, is something great in itself, unfortunately it is equated with "idiotic pub table slogans shouted loudly," a pity for the originally beautiful term. The same goes for "mulled wine drinking," which I also sometimes enjoy. I look out of my window directly at a small excursion destination. Last year it was mostly empty there, since Corona people have been standing on each other's feet there. When the doctor recommends more hiking, nobody moves; as soon as there is a regulation, people run around hectically, especially in groups, because then it seems even more revolutionary; we'll really show them. Strictly according to the motto: I'll just do the opposite all the time.
"Children out in the fresh air" is, of course, understood by everyone, although strangely enough it often seems less important in non-corona times, but then it is boring because it is allowed.
Just accept that you can't control everything, make less fuss
I know hardly any countries where as little is controlled as with us. Maybe you should get out of the Odenwald to recognize that :D .... and I am glad that it is like that here. So please don't "think laterally" here and portray it as if everything were controlled here.....
You say "make less fuss"... so wait for or endure that some idiot infects me with a disease or that I unconsciously pass it on to a beloved person? You call being sick or the worry about it "making fuss," children or families who are not allowed to go everywhere for a limited time are oppressed or over-controlled? Sorry, but "making fuss" sounds unpleasantly inappropriate.
The problem is that people who normally spend their free time washing cars, indoor playgrounds, coffee parties at Aunt Erna’s, etc., are now also compelled to go out into nature.
"Compelled to go out into nature"... I like that one.
And I thought they now take advantage of their beloved right to nature, but that is also compulsive. Most grandmas complain about too little visits even BEFORE Corona. Help – it's Corona, and I have to compulsively go to the forest... Help Google, I can’t find it... and who washes my car actually?
Oh dear, that’s twisted, or do you call that "lateral"? What were "indoor playgrounds" called back then? Oh, there were only unhappy children anyway....
They simply don't know their way around, they enter 'excursion destination blablabla' in Google or just remember something from their childhood. Then they all end up at the same parking lots.
Stop—error in logic: If these families have ALWAYS been so often in their oh-so beloved forest and nature BEFORE corona bans, then they are currently benefiting from their knowledge of it; Google would rather disturb that. So, they hadn't been in forest and nature since childhood? Really—and now it's Google's or corona regulations' fault? Hm... maybe they were never or only rarely in nature before and are now just acting hectically in a lateral thinking manner? If they had always been in nature, they would know it, PERIOD!
By the way, I come from the middle of the Odenwald, was practically born in the forest, and have lived in various places in Germany. Mostly, I would even have to make a real effort not to find a forest or open space. Still, people meet at "hotspots," and there’s surely prosecco there too. Sorry, I couldn’t find the forest because Google didn’t tell me, so I ended up at the hotspot. o_O If people were as creative in searching for hiking trails as in finding strange explanations, there would be no so-called hotspots.
In the fresh air, even a full parking lot has enough space to avoid each other; nobody gets infected just passing by.
True, it is so simple... I forgot. Without regulations, everything would run perfectly, and without checks even more so. Yep.
Just post a few marshals, properly sign it
Oh yes... those are "just those little plastic men"... I know them, you can simply put them there and they do exactly what I like best. Practical. They have no life or family anyway. Are you actually aware of how many people have to work unnecessarily every day and expose themselves to stupid risks because idiots behave like idiots and call it their right (even without corona already)? Every one of these marshals would rather be home with their children on a Sunday, but because others have to enforce their "right to always and everything" against valid regulations, these people have to do such nonsense. Sorry... one just puts some silly little men there... swish... and suddenly my own important life is just as I want it; that's enough.
But that doesn’t require comments about 'irresponsible recklessness' and other crap. It is the good right of already massively restricted people to drive to a nice spot of their choice.
Oh... so it is somewhat restricted after all; in this case, the right to comment on it... now that's what I call "lateral thinking." You call commenting on illegal behavior "crap" and say "no comments needed," while unlawful behavior is "my right." Where exactly is this above-mentioned "good right to always drive to a nice spot of their choice" written? If you refer to the Basic Law, please also read about the possibilities of restrictions. By the way, there are also restrictions at the dentist, or do all go into the treatment room at the same time? Even in line at the mulled wine stand people voluntarily follow rules... strange... maybe society just needs more mulled wine; that could also be a solution approach... preferably in the forest but after corona then immediately back in the warm shopping mall because the forest is actually crap and I just get lost without Google or missing "childhood memories." o_O
No nursing home resident dies anymore because people somewhere in the Black Forest are stuck in traffic; that has other causes.
This comparison is downright cynical, but at the same time reassuring that you apparently know the solution sought worldwide. You should urgently report yourself there so that your solution model can finally be implemented. Always these amateur scientists...
There is now no measure left and only blind activism reigns without even pursuing the original goal of minimizing infections. It is desperately forbidden and accused; nothing helps at all.
"Measure" is always your own measure. I myself am also annoyed, see measures critically, and would prefer politicians had listened better to our excellent science. Almost all scenarios were feared in one way or another; some could even be mathematically detected. Still, it’s no use to throw everything away now. I always ask chronic complainers, "Where in the world is the right solution?" Everyone stumbles, fails, improves, makes mistakes... I am extremely critical of politics but WHERE do you want to go right now, where it’s done right? People often told me: Sweden: Haha... I call Sweden weekly, they would like to come to Germany... or just ask the Swedish king's opinion.
Nobody currently likes it; many things have simply fallen away for me too. But there is no easy solution, so I follow the rules disciplined and meet hardly anyone or only carefully with my own children, and that is painful. And meanwhile, I watch people who do not stop whining and selfishly stamp through life and I get annoyed... but who cares?
