Today in Rhein-Main: Vaccination for schnitzel, hope for carnivalists

Good evening,

it can go that fast. Offenbach has been a "hotspot" since Sunday according to the stricter Corona rules for Hesse. Among other things, there is a ban on alcohol in busy places and a mask requirement in pedestrian zones. Dance halls, clubs, discos and brothels have to close. When visiting a restaurant, the 2-G-plus rule applies to the interior, which not only requires proof of vaccination or recovery, but also a daily negative test. In the open air, for example on restaurant terraces, the 2-G rule still applies (visitors who have been completely vaccinated or have recovered).

As soon as the incidence in a rural district or in an independent city is higher than 350 on three consecutive days, "hotspot regulations" apply there from the next day. In Offenbach, the incidence on Sunday was 372.8.

It is well known what can prevent such values.

It is prudent behavior and, most importantly, vaccination.

There are many ways to get vaccinated, in the Rheingau, for example, it goes through gastronomy: At the Rußler winery in Rauenthal, guests could order schnitzel at the weekend and the offers from Moderna and BioNTech.

Oliver Bock was there.

In Frankfurt, the Ahmadiyya community opened its community hall for those willing to vaccinate at the weekend.

Thousands came, reports Monika Ganster.     

Hope dies last, luckily, even with fastnights and carnivalists. The big moves in Mainz, Frankfurt and Seligenstadt have been canceled. But the fools don't want to give up completely yet. Many continue to plan. In Flörsheim, for example, where, in consultation with the authorities, a semi-subversive night-and-fog action took place last February, with four floats and a dozen active members of the local jester club who briefly showed up on the streets. How that created a good mood, how the mood is in foolish circles at the moment: Daniel Meuren and Markus Schug wrote it down.

When game consoles are in short supply and golden bracelets that could be nicely wrapped up under the tree on Christmas Eve, when luxury goods and plastic toys have longer delivery times than usual: That can be annoying, but on the whole it is at most a problem. Or not? Where does the choice taken for granted end in a consumer society, and where does the anger begin? In the Rhein-Main-Zeitung, editors report on their experiences with the current delivery problems. It's not about gifts.

And in addition, in a collision on the federal highway 26 near Groß -zimmer on Sunday morning, several wild boars were hit by two cars, at least seven animals died +++ almost 29 million parcels will have been distributed to private households in Hesse from November to the end of December, the Federal Association of Parcel and Express Logistics +++ estimates that 81 prisoners in Hesse are allowed to leave prison early by pardon at Christmas.

Kind regards, stay with us
