This year’s Donauinselfest XXXS is over. The bathing season there from tomorrow at the latest. From today the area will be revitalized. Gargling on another test street in Corona.
What kind of times are these? No opera dance! Foreign authorities warn against traveling to Austria / Vienna / Innsbruck / Tyrol, perhaps to Schrems too soon. (But please keep it to ourselves. We don’t want to give anyone silly ideas.) Has Austria deserved such behavior from its dear neighbors and so-called friends of the EU? Do you really have that? Yes. The numbers say yes. Unfortunately.
The recent increases in the number of people infected with Covid-19 were not unexpected. Unless one is generally blind and deaf to everything that comes from the media, which is denigrated as the “lying press.” During the months of this completely atypical summer 2020, however, a lot was played in Austria. Reminders were not lacking, but it turned out that there were preparatory measures.
Probably the longest phone line in the world
Now, the review is done quickly, quickly, not always without the first signs of panic. Suddenly, especially in Vienna, people are hired as trainers for what is probably the longest phone line in the world and as mini-Sherlock Holmes to track the contacts of infected people. Wonderful. Solo: They should have been recruited and trained weeks in advance.
And on Vienna’s Danube Island, in the parking lot next to the Floridsdorfer Bridge, diagonally across from the square, on which the largest stage of the Danube Island Festival swings once a year, Councilor Peter Hacker opens today a second Corona test road. The former has proven its effectiveness in the Ernst Happel Stadium as the used gurgling test method, incidentally, developed in Vienna.
People who live in Vienna and who have not been abroad or in another federal state for more than four days are now allowed entry (for some there is hardly any difference), but “only” have suspicious symptoms without being seriously ill. They arrive late, measures whose effectiveness is beyond doubt, but they arrive. Wonderful. Gargle instead of bread and games from now on in Vienna.
