In mehreren Städten gibt es am Samstag Proteste gegen die Coronabeschränkungen. Ein Überblick.
https://taz.de/Proteste-gegen-
" Auf der Theresienwiese in München, dort, wo sonst das Oktoberfest ist, steht am Samstag eine heikle „Grundrechte“-Demo gegen die Coronaschutzpolitik an. Die einzige in der Bayern-Metropole mittlerweile bekannte Gegnerin der Coronaschutzgesetze ist die 62 Jahre alte Petra Kotthoff, eine Beraterin für vegane Ernährung und Yogalehrerin. In einem Gespräch mit Bild-TV sagte sie, sie sei besorgt „über die Einschränkung der Grundrechte“ und würde sich fragen, ob diese „tatsächlich aufgrund der Datenlage legitimiert sind“. Dazu, dass die Demonstranten immer wieder mit Verschwörungstheoretikern und Rechtsradikalen in Zusammenhang gebracht werden, meinte sie: „Es empört mich, es macht mich wütend.“
Allerdings hat Kotthoff laut Süddeutscher Zeitung noch bis vor Kurzem auf ihrer Facebook-Seite Videos des Verschwörungstheoretikers Ken Jebsen geteilt und Bill Gates als Hassfigur gepostet, der, so die SZ, „einem schreienden Kind von hinten eine Spritze in den Hals jagt“. Mittlerweile ist diese Facebook-Seite gelöscht. "

Health experts: Reopening businesses in Minnesota will spread COVID-19, but how much?

Epidemiologists broadly agree that reopening “nonessential” businesses and public spaces will lead to increased transmission of the virus that causes COVID-19, though the uptick won’t be visible immediately.
It’s already happening in some states that reopened nonessential businesses, like Alabama, South Dakota and Texas, former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb has said. Minnesota is gradually allowing nonessential businesses and public spaces to reopen, based on judgments about how well each kind of setting can prevent transmission and monitor for new cases.
