So you can extend a hard lockdown right before it starts.

The inner city of Munich was stormed by real masses on Monday.

Munich - It came as it had to.

After

Markus Söder and Angela Merkel

announced

the tough corona lockdown *

on

Sunday

(December 13th), the inner city in Munich * experienced another rush.

Long queues formed in front of various shops in the city center.

Shortly before Corona lockdown: downtown Munich is literally overrun

In between, passers-by, packed with bags, pushed through

Munich's shopping streets.

Even if most

last-minute shoppers

behaved decently and the shops mostly strictly controlled the number of customers - keeping your distance was not possible everywhere.

Not to mention the location in the subway * and S-Bahn * in Munich.

In any case, the pictures disturbed many in view of the current Corona * infection numbers in

Munich

.

A customer at

br24.de

said on Monday that she had been in line for an hour

.

There is a certain irritation in the air, the BR continues.

Who is surprised?

City of Munich overrun before Corona lockdown: Statisticians also notice the rush

The statisticians also confirm that the approaching shop closings in city centers resulted in unusually full shopping streets.

Data from the company Hystreet, which specializes in measuring customer frequencies, showed on Monday lunchtime that an above-average number of consumers were on the move in many inner cities.

The city's hairdressing salons were also literally overrun. *

Before Corona lockdown: Ikea photo shows disturbing scene

On

Tuesday

the rush will probably be similar before

the

lockdown

takes

effect

on

Wednesday

.

One can only hope that the

shopping orgy

will

not push

the number of

infections up

again.

This will become apparent in two weeks at the earliest, i.e. a few days after

Christmas Eve

- although the measures of the hard lockdown will hopefully prevent many new infections in parallel.

A Facebook photo

posted by

the

Augsburger Allgemeine

shows the rush particularly impressively

.

It shows the queue in front of the

Ikea in Augsburg.

In the picture, hundreds of Ikea fans are waiting for admission on Monday morning around 10 a.m.

"Is anyone still wondering about the high number of cases," someone comments below.

Another adds: "Maybe we deserved Corona."
