Today I got an e-mail from the promoter. It is long and says pretty much nothing, except that it speaks about the vouchers as a new compensation instead of money, that was agreed on by the government. So they will probably force me to accept some voucher from a promoter. And since it is apparently a new law in Germany (since 15.5.), I doubt that the credit card company will do anything about i

Well, I have heard about the vouchers and it is obviously a rip off, especially for someone who bought the tickets from abroad. But I am not surprized. In our country our government issued pretty much the same law but about travel agencies. So if your holiday gets cancelled, instead of money back, you get a voucher.

Concerning the numbers of deaths caused by the virus, the only fact I know is, that in our country in the first five official cases of death it was officially said, that the cause of death was most likely not the coronavirus.
