I love satire!
The rougher, the more fun, the more the makes the nas, the better it functions – and totally awesome it gets when it hits there, where you are in doubt, whether it actually is reality or a joke. I experienced this this week.
It came to pass, when I saw the health authorities ‘ absurd and amusing flowchart that could have been the wildest satiretegning – if not it was deeply meant seriously.
It looked like this:
Start here: Are there cases of covid-19 in the school?
If yes: Is it a from the class, which is found to be contaminated?
If yes: Is anyone in your household particularly at risk?
If yes: Go to school.
no matter what you respond, or what route you take in the service products, the result is the same: Go to school!
the Whole game is under section 2.4, where the recommendation is that if a person in the child’s household is infected with covid-19, it is still in school!?
It is very possible that no officials will acknowledge that the strategy is herd immunity, but it is just total indifference?
Regardless, I’m sitting with more questions than answers:
1) How can one open a kindergarten with f.ex. 130 cubs that neither can wipe their own ass or wash your hands just fairly thoroughly, as the smudge-resistant boogers in each other and in the sofas and sucking on toys with snotnæser.
2) How can you have confidence in the project, when one does not have confidence that a hairdresser can observe at least as sound hygiene to a single customer? Evs. with the gloves?
3), Søren Brostrøm says to have taken into account that the rules for daginstitutionernes opening is realistic.
But the children of the f.ex. sit two feet away at a table!? How big think Soren or our politicians really that the tables are in a kindergarten? How big do they think they are?
Children must only play in groups of three to five. How many educators or assistants, think they really, are employed in a living room with 23 children?
But no journalist on the TV, the Newspaper asked questions to the minister for education, when they made a feature. All her answer hung in the air as finished, done deal, move on!
And it directs me to:
4) Can the journalists not to ask anymore ask follow-up questions? Is it the new normal, to TV 2 orkestrerer børnehyldester for the prime minister, “prime time”?
And on Wednesday sat Mette Frederiksen in ‘the Studio’ in order to explain the Kristian Ring-Hansen, if she is ‘worried’ over the children in the front line?
I’m sure that the ‘Studio’ is just the right place to interview the prime minister in 45 minutes – at least for Mette.
I’m still on… Is this satire?
