The person in charge of sport and who is (passive) enthusiastic about sport has a little something Werner Kogler already revealed at the press conference on Monday. First up are those Sports facilities allowed to unlock who are outdoors. Sounds logical. And of these, the ones that come first will be those on which you can practice sports from a certain distance. tennis is such a sport with the second largest association Austria. Golf (more than 100,000 active people) can also be played without physical contact. Archery, stick sports and some others too. This is tricky when it comes to football, because even if you do without the cheering scenes known from TV for a goal, it is difficult to imagine a proper tackle or a scramble in a running duel at a distance of 2 meters.
Tens of thousands are now spellbound by the minister’s schedule – and the accompanying measures. From at least before Easter Well-informed circles can be heard that competitive athletes will soon be able to practice physical contact-free sports again from the beginning of May. At the tennis it could look like this: no change of sides, no handshake before or after the game, no doubles, no spitting on the tennis balls. Press conference of the Vice Chancellor, as usual in the live stream today at 11 a.m. on kurier.at.
The run on the markets
I last spoke to a supermarket branch manager. He told me that he would never forget Friday, March 13th. It was the day of the market run toilet paper. Apparently everyone feared that it could go out and then …
Yesterday was the day of Potting soil. From 7 a.m. people lined up in front of the hardware stores and garden centers and left them Potting soil tremble. And that despite the rather cool temperatures. Does anyone worry that Potting soil could go out? in the Ö1-In the evening journal, a buyer was quoted as saying that he needed silicone for the joint in the kitchen. Procurement that cannot be postponed, quasi systemically relevant, not a minute was lost. Of course, everyone has the right to buy whatever. However, psychologically, there seem to be other reasons for accepting hiring at the hardware store. Maybe it was just the feeling of wanting to get out when you were finally allowed to go back, or just being there when the hardware store opened. And every day you look at the kitchen joint, you can think back to that day. So souvenir photo.
Tuesday after Easter is only a foretaste of what will be going on at the hairdressers from May 2nd. My favorite tweet from Stefan Sengl, the former campaign advisor for Christian Kern: “In the past, premiere tickets at the Salzburg Festival were a sign that you had good contacts. Today it is a hairdressing appointment on May 2nd.” Chapeau was voted the tweet of the day in the KURIER Daily podcast.
Quiet in the city
Of course, the author of these lines also had to do something urgent and urgent on the first day. And found on Vienna otherwise the busiest shopping street with almost no buyers. The pictures below at Wiener Graben and Kohlmarkt were taken shortly after 5 p.m. on Tuesday. In the shop that was then visited, one was still satisfied. A few customers are better than none at all. At least there were no problems with the number of customers per square meter.
