Chook poo assists with social distancing

When faced with the question of how to stop 30,000 young people gathering for a beer- fuelled festival celebrat- ing spring, officials came up with a load of sh*t.
It was announced that the whole City Park would be closed at Val- borg, and maintenance measures were to be car- ried out in the park on the day to prevent the possible spread of COV- ID-19.

is good for the lawn, as chicken manure contains phosphorus and nitrogen, so that we have a really nice city park for sum- mer.
That was the solution offered by Lund, a Swed- ish city that hosts the annual celebration of Valborg from April 30 to May 1.
Comments on the post suggested the idea had gone down well, with several calling it ‘crea- tive’ and ‘fantastic’.

Lund environmental committee member Gus- tav Lindblad said, “We had the opportunity of fertilising the lawns in the park and because it will stink, it may not be so nice to sit and drink beer there.”
In comparison to other countries, Sweden has taken a more relaxed ap- proach to tackling COV- ID-19 – keeping schools, restaurants and night- clubs open.
Officials organised the spreading of chicken ma- nure in the central park to discourage people gathering there.
However, one social media user questioned whether the loss of smell, reported as a common COVID-19 symptom in young people, would mean potential attend- ees wouldn’t notice the stench of the manure in the park.
Valborg marks the ar- rival of spring and thou- sands of young people – mostly students – travel from across the coun- try for a raucous night of festivities in Lund’s Stadspark, which trans- lates to City Park.
Social distancing is the responsibility of citizens and a national lockdown is enforced.
Lund’s mayor Phillip Sandberg confirmed the decision with a Facebook post.
Swedish leaders say the strategy has worked but there is criticism, particularly of the re- ported death rate of 22 deaths per 100,000 people, according to re- search from John Hop- kins University.
Sitting at Valborg in a park stinking of chicken manure where leaf blow- ers are making a noise and blowing things around is not a pleasant experience.
Neighbouring Den- mark has recorded seven deaths per 100,000 peo- ple by comparison.
