Today in Rhein-Main: Paper is patient

Good evening,

let's start with the warning of the day: If you plan to travel by plane from Frankfurt on Tuesday, you can forget it.

Even in these tense times, the Verdi union, which is becoming increasingly difficult to call the service union, does not shy away from warning strikes for the purpose of wage increases.

And on Tuesday it's the turn of the aviation security department in Frankfurt, from 2 a.m. to 11 p.m. all security checks outside the transit area are closed.

The fact that nobody will start a trip from Frankfurt Airport on Tuesday

is more than just annoying, it is also symbolic, as the airport operator Fraport will present the business figures for 2021 in the morning, and there will also be a lot of talk about flights that have not been taken on this occasion , if not because of warning strikes, but because of the pandemic.

The number of passengers is still about half as high as before Corona, watching the course of the Fraport share is no fun.

More on that tomorrow at this point.

The stock markets

have already done something that the state government still has to do.

Okay, a somewhat artificial transition: shareholdings have been paperless for a long time, only collectors deal in actual pieces, but in the Hessian government, despite all the appeals to only handle the bureaucracy online, tons of paper are still needed.

The sheets, which were needed within two and a half years, would make Mount Everest ten times if laid one on top of the other.

On the other hand: Aren't we quite, quite sure that all these arcs contained nothing but very clever things, thanks to which Hessen is such a wisely governed country?

Then the use of the paper mountain was not in vain.

To the many properties

of paper, as the saying goes, patience counts.

Which brings us to another topic: compulsory vaccination in the healthcare sector, which is said to apply from Wednesday.

After the resolution was recorded on the handmade paper of the Bundestag, one thinks that from this day on nobody who is not vaccinated will be allowed to work in hospitals or nursing homes.

Not even close.

First of all, unvaccinated staff must be reported to the health authorities.

Then these offices have to approach the unvaccinated and ask them to send any proof of vaccination.

Then, if there is still no such proof, the authorities offer vaccination advice.

It takes three months until then.

And even then there is still no threat of a ban on entering the workplace for unvaccinated people:

The health authorities must also take into account the security of care for patients when making their assessment.

Forecast: paper is patient, so

And

there is also a lack of assisted living options for older people in the Rhine-Main area +++ the Museum Ernst in Wiesbaden will not open until 2023 +++ follows Frank Dievernich, previously President of the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, which has given itself a very English-sounding name has, on October 1st Roland Kaehlbrandt at the head of the Polytechnic Society Foundation.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours, Manfred Koehler
