Mask Fetish, Lockstep Conformity, and Testing Mania – Reminiscing with District Administrator Götz Ulrich (CDU)Ah, what a glorious hour of German administrative craftsmanship! Today, on May 26, 2026, we look back with the utmost admiration on the digital press conference held by the highly esteemed District Administrator Götz Ulrich on November 4, 2021. A true masterpiece of prudence. A lesson in responsible leadership. Chapeau! The district administrator, seated beside his department head Dr. Ariane Körner, radiated pure caution and foresight. Particularly touching: although the two sat only about 1.5 meters apart, they dutifully put on their FFP2 masks whenever they were not speaking. What disciplined role-model behavior! “Look at us, we take this seriously” – a masterpiece of nonverbal communication. The sacred lockstep – “acting uniformly” as the highest virtueWith truly admirable consistency, Ulrich emphasized his philosophy of unity. He stated verbatim:“My goal is actually not to deviate too much from the statewide regulations and to make decisions as uniformly as possible together with colleagues in neighboring districts.”Magnificent! Why should a district administrator in a district with well over 176,000 inhabitants think independently when one can instead seamlessly join the grand German march in lockstep? Proportionality? Local responsibility? Mere trivialities. The dramatic numbers – and the wise conclusions drawn from themIt was proudly announced:“Today we have a 7-day incidence rate of 233 [...] Regarding the hospitalization rate [...] this figure currently stands at 10.14 [...] in Burgenlandkreis.”And further regarding the hospital situation: “33 persons in regular wards and three persons in intensive care [...], who are infected with Corona.”“Infected,” yes – but were they actually hospitalized solely because of this virus? For a district of this size, a hospitalization rate of 10.14 per 100,000 was apparently a state of emergency that could only be combated with one measure: blanket mandatory testing. The brilliant contradiction regarding the vaccinated and the comparison to rare diseasesThings became even more masterful when it came to schools and nursing homes. Ulrich and Dr. Körner once again required vaccinated and recovered individuals to undergo testing. The justification given was that they wanted above all to protect teaching staff and identify “breakthrough infections” at an early stage. In schools, staff members (including vaccinated teachers) were expected to test themselves twice weekly – just like the students. In nursing homes, staff were even required to test daily.What wonderfully refined logic! Vaccination was supposedly a reliable form of protection – and yet precisely the “protected” were once again ordered back to the testing swabs. For comparison with rare diseases (according to the WHO): The World Health Organization typically defines rare diseases as those affecting fewer than 50 persons per 100,000 inhabitants. The hospitalization rate of 10.14 per 100,000 therefore lay far below this threshold – and yet District Administrator Götz Ulrich (CDU) imposed widespread testing mandates, controls, and symbolic measures throughout Burgenlandkreis. What impressive generosity in defining “urgent need for action”! One might almost think COVID hospitalizations were judged according to entirely different, vastly more sensitive standards than genuine rare diseases. Vaccination rates at the time – the perfect backdrop for even more testingIn Burgenlandkreis itself, Dr. Körner stated during the press conference a vaccination rate of 60.64%. This corresponded roughly with the situation in Saxony-Anhalt at the time (with the nationwide figure somewhat higher). Across Germany, the vaccination rate in October/November 2021 stood at around 65–70% for those vaccinated at least once or considered fully “basic immunized” (depending on the exact date and source; official RKI figures fluctuated within this range, with regional differences).Despite this already respectable vaccination coverage, mandatory testing for vaccinated individuals was reactivated. A stroke of genius in preventive policy! The overlooked truth attempted to come to lightParticularly delightful was Dr. Treu’s explanation regarding the situation in the affected nursing home in Weißenfels: it was openly admitted that during the outbreak, 7 out of 8 infected staff members were vaccinated, and 11 out of 14 infected residents were vaccinated as well. Vaccination coverage – including booster shots – within the facility was therefore exemplary high.And then came this wonderfully disarming clarification: “And as a side note, vaccination does not directly protect against becoming ill, but rather against the severity of the course of illness. [...] However, the illness, the severity of the illness, is of course more severe among the unvaccinated.”What impeccable timing! At precisely the moment when only three people in the entire Burgenland district were in intensive care, a public health official openly admitted what months earlier had still been branded a malicious “conspiracy theory” and “anti-vaxxer propaganda”: that the vaccine does not prevent infection itself, but at best may reduce severe outcomes. Despite this open admission and the high vaccination rate within the facility, the logical consequence drawn was… to introduce even stricter testing mandates for vaccinated individuals as well. A true masterpiece of intellectual consistency and political hygiene. One might almost think the narrative of a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” had begun to show quiet yet unmistakable cracks here. But of course only almost. After all, everything was under control – with three ICU patients and masses of new tests. Chapeau, Dr. Treu. That was one of the most honest and simultaneously most revealing moments of the entire conference. Symbolic politics at its finestAir filters, CO₂ traffic-light monitors, letters sent to everyone over 70 encouraging booster vaccinations – the full program was rolled out. And naturally there were inspections of testing centers as well, because authorities wanted to ensure “that the test results are reliable.” All carried out with the steady hand of the experienced administrator.Conclusion from May 2026 – with a wistful, ironic smileDear District Administrator Götz Ulrich, you were a true hero of your era. A man who took test-generated incidence figures seriously, placed unity above all else, and, in the face of a hospitalization rate below the WHO threshold for rare diseases, did exactly what had to be done: test, test, and test again – including the population that was already more than 60% vaccinated.The RKI files and parliamentary inquiry commissions later cast some aspects in a somewhat different light: uncertain data foundations, politically motivated decisions, overestimated measures, and limited effects on transmission. But none of this diminishes your accomplishments of 2021 in the slightest. You participated exemplary well. You acted uniformly. You did exactly what was expected of a good German district administrator. You masterfully harassed the entire population of Burgenlandkreis. And for that, years later, you deserve our most ironic and deepest respect. An equally heartfelt thank-you naturally also goes to the dutiful employees of the administration and large parts of the population of Burgenlandkreis. You submitted yourselves obediently and with discipline, wore your masks without significant complaint, dutifully fulfilled testing obligations, and heroically participated as guinea pigs in the largest medical field experiment of the postwar era – always loyal and without bothersome questioning. Except, of course, for those intolerable conspiracy theorists, lateral thinkers, critics of the measures, and vaccine refusers who kept disrupting the beautiful unity with their constant skepticism. You, the compliant citizens, were the true heroes of this era: silent, obedient, and always ready to surrender your freedom and your reason for the greater good. Thank you for your exemplary blind obedience. The much-admired District Administrator Götz Ulrich (CDU) can truly be proud of you. What a time. What a theater. What a memory. One could almost grow nostalgic. Almost. Author: AI-Translation - АИИ | |
