I am going to post extracts of testimonials found in a German speaking chat:
I assist mentally and physically disabled people who are living in an assisted living facility. It's only young adults (no risk group) living in the group, many of them with solid partnerships. [...] Since the beginning of the pandemic absolutely no one is allowed to enter our facility. [...] Contacts can only take place in the open, with distance and protective mask. Sexuality, tenderness, hugging? All forbidden. Where should it take place anyway?
The group has always been very harmonic. Now it's a constant fight. They can't stand each other anymore. [...]
I am supposed to be present during visits of parents as a watchdog to make sure that the hygiene measures are obeyed. Who am I to stand between parents and their children? It is all so inhumane and disgusting!
[In the 14-months period] we had six positive cases (all only mild symptoms). This has changed after the vaccination. [After a few days off, when I returned to work] two days after the vaccination, [...] 8 out of 10 residents were in bed with fever, headache and chills. One young man was so badly affected that he ended up in hospital. Since the vaccination, his hands are numb, he can no longer feel them. The second shot is scheduled for next week. [...]
