Quick money

The state-forced flourishing of so-called test centers of all kinds, whether out of the window of a private house, in a garage, an empty shop, a non-empty shop of any kind, in doctor's surgeries, pharmacies, gas stations, tents or shacks - I wouldn't be surprised if mobile sausage vendors are now also involved – has opened up a whole new market that is symptomatic of our government behavior.

The taxpayers' money has to be distributed among the people no matter what the hell (!), the main thing is that people start scrambling for alms or quick money. There is hardly a better way to distract from the failure of our own politics and that of our administrative apparatus. Because as long as most people think they can somehow secure advantages for themselves, they are fully and precisely occupied with it.

And so you can now find a test center every 10 meters in downtown Heilbronn. The shops are already doing so well that they advertise with free drinks and gifts of all kinds — even cash is to be offered to volunteer testers.

The business practices of “our entrepreneurs” make the California gold rush look really old, and as you can read again and again in the media, this also opened the floodgates to criminal activities — meanwhile, some fellow citizens are becoming millionaires faster than Carsten Maschmeyer.

Incidentally, the whole thing runs under the pretext of state welfare and is intended to serve public health. That's why hardly anyone checks whether these tests are even carried out according to the current minimum standards. Which also explains statements such as “it’s better to go to XY because testing there is so pleasant and doesn’t hurt at all” — as a well-trained layman, for me a clear sign that these tests then only bring negative results will.

And if, as a citizen, you now think about what this German Eldorado is actually costing us — not to mention the negligently caused deaths — then you should urgently look for changes that can be made quickly.

Therefore, I propose that the following minimum standards be introduced immediately:

• All testers must provide evidence of at least one annual first aid course,
• there must be a distance of at least 100 meters between the respective test stations,
• no test station may offer money or non-cash benefits to the fellow citizens to be tested,
• each test station must be checked once a week,
• the number of tests must be reported to the health department every day, where they are collected, evaluated and made public (if the number of tests in the city district alone exceeds 200 per day, those responsible may even start to ponder).

However, it would be better for us citizens to pay for the tests out of our own pockets, because then this nightmare will be over very quickly.

One more keep it up! doesn't really help our city, our country and our society.
