District of Munich – You are not even safe from viruses in the forest – District of Munich
There is currently no mask requirement for deer and roe deer. This is perhaps because the forest animals are unlikely to be able to pass on the corona virus, certainly not if they are sizzling towards their destination at 200 degrees in the roasting pan. Every Sars-CoV-2 type throws in the towel at 60 degrees. In the forest, of course, it rarely gets that hot unless there is a fire. And so in North America hundreds of deer and roe deer have been infected with the virus, as reported by the journal Nature. So far, however, they have not shown any serious symptoms. But who knows how strong the defenses of the native game are, nasal swabs for PCR tests on deer have not yet been taken in the Munich district. To endanger any risk, you could put on an FFP2 mask, but dying would only disturb you when you sniff the forest air. No, not in the woods would be ridiculous.
After the recent rain, the scent of resin and pine needles tempts you to take deep breaths in the evening. Unfortunately others too. A group of racing cyclists rushes past a paved forest path, panting heavily. Shoo, and they’re gone. But what remains is her personal scent brand, a mixture of sweat and various deodorants. For a long time you stand in the middle of a cloud of quite sporty vapors and ask yourself: Could it be that you have just inhaled a lot of virus-laden droplets, as if you were sitting in the crossbowmen’s tent at the Oktoberfest in the midst of unleashed coughing drunkards from Ischgl? And was the CSU faction in the Sendling-Westpark district committee not completely wrong when they wanted to ban cycling on the main traffic routes in the Westpark in spring 2021 to protect walkers from viruses?
Anyway, according to a negative corona self-test, the cloud of scent left by the cyclists was not infected with a virus. The realization remains that there are no more places of retreat in this world where you can really be safe from the damn virus. Except perhaps you secretly dive into the Deininger Weiher, where there is only a risk of infestation with faecal bacteria. Only the Chinese, who now also have their sea catches tested, believe that fish can also have Corona. If you also order trout from the Waldhaus am Deininger Weiher, you can do so with a clear conscience.
Unfortunately, there is no opportunity to wash down a roast ox with a mass at Keferloher Montag this year. The folk festival scheduled for this Monday is canceled due to a lack of staff. The district is preparing for the largest folk festival in the world, which was not canceled again, perhaps because this year only five instead of six million visitors will meet in a small space. And because no cyclists are allowed on the Theresienwiese.
