"Totengedenken"... do they mean reading from MacBride's book with that name or commemorating deceased persons?

Off topic: after ten years of norwegian victories, we finally got a swedish winner of Vasaloppet today! Made good time too, 03:37:42. 90 kilometers on skis in under four hours. The record is 03:28:18, Tord Asle Gjerdalen in 2021.

Also, no Covid/mRNA-collapses this year either. Seems the hypothesis that the jabs causes this among athletes in Britain, US etcetera is scare-mongering and the Streisand-effect in action.

Nope, they meant a commemoration of the Covid dead. Caritas president Landau (he of pro-mandate infamy), head of Austria's larges charitable association (it derives from socially responsible Catholicism, is roughly comparable to the Salvation Army in Protestant countries, and is largely a zombie-fied thing by now: the Catholic Church opened its temples for pop-up injection sites and the archbishop and cardinal of Vienna, one Christoph Schönborn, called 'getting the shot' an 'act of charity') had organised nightly protests to commemorate those dead.

Its main aim, of course, was to shame and ostracise those who failed to fall in line.

It's actually a little sad...

.... that normal people didn't take them up on the offer to meet them, in person.
