@Stephie I just found out that our local christmas market is happening, maybe you can find some where you are too!
 
@SerenaT we went on Tuesday - explicitly before 2G+ in BW.
 
@Stephie Thats something good :)
 
The quasi-local one is now restricted to “locals only”. Which is kind of super frustrating. We are usually in town twice a week at least. Now we are permitted to walk past the stalls, buy a snack at the bakery, go to the restaurant next to it, but not buy a Bratwurst/Glühwein/whatever literally five meters away from each. There are a few weird exceptions, too.
 
@Stephie How would they even enforce these rules, seems diffcult
 
Like, if you work in town, you count as “local”. So I have the impossible task of explaining to the minors why their teachers may buy the candied almonds they can’t buy. (My kids are fully vaccinated per their own request, since the summer.) I asked and got a response from the mayor (which is kind of cool), but the logical fallacy was immediately exposed by the 12yo.

@Stephie These restrictions sound like someone hastily made them up to sound like they were doing something, when really they had no clue
 
@SerenaT you need a kind of wrist band. To get that, you need the 2G certificate, an id showing your home address and the current test.
 
Oh boy. If everyone is following the 2G why would they also need to be local? The only thing this will do is make people break the rules and reduce profit for the vendors.
Does not sound very thought through
 
@SerenaT They had a very good approach considering the rules up to Tuesday. Place the stalls all over town to avoid clusters of visitors. Now there’s 2G+ (which wouldn’t be a problem), but are worried that with all other markets being canceled, crowds could come and overwhelm everything.
 
@Stephie Ah man. This pandemic really does not make anything simple these days
 
Nah.
 
10:38 AM
My part of Germany is now also doing a "lockdown" on the unvaccinated. They cant go places anymore much. Which might actually help
 
I have already declared that I won’t be able (emotionally) to do the usual farmers market / weekend shopping trip to town.
@SerenaT May I ask which Bundesland you are in?
 
@Stephie RLP
 
”Next door” ;-)
 
Pretty much :)
Thing is, I work at uni which is one of the few places people can still go without being vaccinated. I love it :/
@Stephie :( that's not nice
 
@SerenaT Urgh.
 
10:44 AM
But on the brighter side, I can go to my vacation next week. (To BW hehe)
Since its a hotel and they have 2G it should be fine.
I really need that vacation
 
@SerenaT YAY!
