In a twist only slightly less dramatic than a disco ball malfunction, clubs are suddenly packed again, not with youth, but with reporters seeking them.

Willem Engel, rapper K.A.F.K.A., and Famke Louise have launched their 'alternative corona commission,' which plans to interrogate health officials with torches.
