I am just jumping in here after a longer time (while skimming through the posts from the last several weeks in this thread - to follow everything in detail here is just not possible anymore by the speed this thread is going
), with a bit of update from my area:
Things are becoming more authoritarian / fascist by the month, if not the week. In the concert hall in the large Eastern German city where I work there are now occasional performances being held under the "2G" ("geimpft", "genesen") rule -
meaning that only people categorized as either vaccinated or recovered are getting allowed. It's going on since the start of October (the "2G" nonsense has become allowed by our state parliament in the end of September).
However, for now that only goes for so-called "Mietveranstaltungen" (events where the house is hired by the event agencies of "outside" artists, ensembles and orchestras) where the organisers can decide by themselves if to conduct the event in question under the "2G" rule. Visitors can take the mask off after the check-in, and there are no distance rules "to be" observed in the hall.
At one such event, some people apparently hadn't known this or had tried nonetheless, driving all the way from outside my city to the concert hall, paying for the test -
only to be turned away & back home by my colleagues as they had orders to do so. I hope these guests received a refund at least.
I had to work at a couple of such so-called "2G" events in the concert hall, and for me as one of the few still unvaccinated employees in the visitor's service it hadn't been a problem so far as of yet. The "2G" there was applied to the guests only.
Meanwhile, performances conducted by the regular orchestras, like the in-house-symphonic orchestra and long-term partnered ones, still take place under the "3G" rule where people with tests are still getting allowed. The same goes for the opera house where I occasionally work as well.
However, this weekend the opera house holds its annual Opera Prom under the "2G" rule - last year it had been cancelled due to Covid. It's an event where the so-called "very important people" ("the rich, influential and beautiful") of the region assemble, with renowned celebrities, higher-echelon people from local politics and economy, and where people who generally have the means can participate (a ticket is supposed to cost several hundreds of euros). It's an event my colleagues dread very much, and I have never been assigned to it in all my years in the visitor's service - until this year. Was not too happy about that (this one is a "fixed appointment" - meaning you cannot choose if to be assigned to it or not when filling out the roster request for the next month), but curious nonetheless.
But then my supervisor texted me that this event unfortunately had to be cancelled for me (she seemed to be really sorry) since I am not vaccinated, because it's a "2G" event where the staff also needs to be either vaccinated or recovered. However, they assigned me to another event taking place under the "3G" rule during the afternoon instead. And in the evening I can take part in a meeting with people I cherish very much. That's the positive aspect of this.
At the same time, this Monday a colleague gathering has been taking place - also under the "2G" rule.
This means, unvaccinated colleagues like myself were not to be allowed. But again, this left me the opportunity to join the EE workshop - something negative turned into something positive again.
Also on Monday, my mother had a talk with her family physician who is critical of the official Covid narrative (she works in a holistic physician's office). The physician told her that she has a patient who works as a nurse at an intensive care unit of some local hospital.
According to that nurse the staff in that unit is ordered to document every Covid patient occupying an intensive care bed as "unvaccinated" -
even if those patients are jabbed! That's an outright crime - lying and forgery of documents going on there. And at the same time authorities allowing this are going after people who are faking vaccine documents. Go figure.
As a consequence, quite a few employees in the respective intensive care unit apparently quit their jobs because they couldn't reconcile it with their conscience anymore. And more will probably follow.
In the private family area, my brother-in-law got sick with Covid (but not that bad fortunately) - although he's been jabbed twice in spring, once with AstraZeneca, the other time with BionNTech / Pfizer. He had to be quarantined, and his family had to do so alongside him.
They had wanted to go to the Baltic Sea for holidays, but thanks to this quarantine business that had to be cancelled, leaving my eldest nephew who had been so much looking forward to this trip crying bitterly. This quarantine included my sister, although she had been vaccinated twice as well last spring (with Pfizer). She did a PCR test a few days ago which was showing negative.
