Jost Schlegtendal was in a coma.

He almost died of Covid-19.

He is particularly critical of the demonstrations in his home town of Murnau.

But he also says: Corona deniers are in the minority.

  • Jost Schlegtendal from Murnau is sporty, healthy - and still fell seriously ill with the corona virus.

  • He barely survived the virus.

    All the more he lacks an understanding of the corona demos.

  • But he is certain: The corona deniers are in the minority.

  • Everything from the region is available in the GAP newsletter.

Murnau

- Jost Schlegtendal happened to be cycling past the

Volksfestplatz

on Tuesday

.

What kind of casserole is that? He asked himself.

By now he knows: the

“Corona Info Tour”

stopped in

Murnau.

About 300 people came.

Including mask refusers, distance rule ignors,

corona deniers

.

Murnauer fell ill with Covid-19 - and barely survived

It is precisely this group that "really pisses me off," says Schlegtendal.

He wants to call out to them: keep your

distance

!

Wear your

masks!

Limit your contacts!

"What is so bad about it?" If you can save lives with it.

The 66-year-old almost died.

The lawyer was

infected

with the

corona virus in

March

.

He was in the

Murnau trauma clinic for

28 days

, twelve of them in a

coma

.

In the Tagblatt interview at the end of May, he described his experiences, his hallucinations, his happiness.

Even then he was annoyed by the nationwide

demonstrations

against restrictions - freedom of expression in all honor.

Murnau: Covid-19 survivor has no understanding of corona demos

In Murnau, too,

citizens took

to the streets for “a life in freedom”.

A rather local event.

Now the

lateral thinker activists

known in Germany,

Dr.

Bodo Schiffmann and preacher Samuel Eckert Murnau as a station, the market which, according to the police chief, has developed "into a small center" of the anti-corona movement.

Schlegtendal's home to rail against the government, corona measures and restrictions.

This point leaves Schlegtendal at a loss.

“What restriction?” For himself he only says: “I'm just more at home, I don't care.” The

younger generation is

worse off

.

He talked about it with his three children, all in their mid-twenties.

Sure: you would like to party, meet friends.

Not possible - and they

accept the situation

.

Corona in Bavaria: Schlegtendal does not understand demonstrators: "What restriction?"

Schlegtendal also thinks of the people who work in the

hotel

and

catering

industry or

retailers

who are suffering massively.

"The

situation sucks

" - he says how it is.

But: “We have to go through that now.” With a mask, with a distance, with contact restrictions.

He emphasizes that again and again.

Schlegtendal is not concerned with himself. He feels good, only his legs lack strength.

“I couldn't ski yet.” Otherwise: healthy.

Even if there is no guarantee, he is

not afraid

that he will be infected again.

But what about other people who might fare just like him?

Of course, its course was an exception,

no doctor could

find an

explanation for it

.

Lockdown for hospitality and retailers: “The situation is shitty.

We have to go through now "

He, the

athletic

,

healthy

man whom the

virus almost killed

.

But his example shows: “It can affect anyone.” Schlegtendal wants to spread this message.

In the private sphere he does

educational work

.

Tell his story.

For a moment he thought about showing up at a demonstration.

With a sign: "I had Corona."

After corona illness: Murnauer does educational work

That doesn't work in the lateral thinker camp, he knows that.

At the end of May he got into a conversation with a few of them in the pedestrian zone.

To find out after five minutes: "You talk to each other, but you can't find a common denominator."

He stays calm.

He

sees the

deniers,

conspiracy theorists

and mask refusers in the

minority.

He believes that 95 percent support the rules.

The other five, “they are unfortunately very loud”.

Murnauer convinced: conspiracy theorists and mask refusers in the minority

After Corona meetings in Murnau, the mayor continues to believe in his citizens.

“That wasn't a Murnau event.

I don't think the Murnau people want to be system critics. "
