The COVID-19 pandemic

[Coke6pk]

Karen Redman was caught Tweeting photos of herself at Oktoberfest, giving no fucks about Covid-19: https://twitter.com/Redman4Region/status...7295612929

Indeed. I have always thought of her as a milquetoast centrist politician, but this gave me a strong negative impression of her, she's not a leader. 

In other news, while Octoberfesters are welcome to come into our city and to shotskiis till they're stumbling, students are again told to stay home for any student event.

As someone who was present for the keg tapping where two of those pictures were taken, this is being blown out of proportion.

Everyone was at a table (where they are allowed to remove masks... like every other restaurant in the region).  The visiting keg tapping group, as well as all the servers and staff were fully masked.  (Even Onkle Hans).  The band were behind a plastic barrier.  There was do dancing and there were young children... the Schwaben Club looked like any other restaurant.  This was not a typical Oktoberfest event.

Does a picture of a shot-ski look bad in context.... maybe.  If all members were part of the same family/bubble, there was no greater harm than those drinking at the same time at The Keg.
