  Free! And they even include an "intubation" guarantee!


Over the weekend in Turgutlu district of Manisa province, the general 
meeting of the Turgutlu Shopkeepers and Craftsmen Cooperative was
held in the amphitheater at the Turgutlu Irlamaz Facilities.  In attendance
were Turgutlu Mayor Çetin Akın, former MHP parliamentarian Ahmet
Orhan, the heads of the shopkeepers' guilds and their members.  

A crowd assembled to participate in the Cooperative's election, but 
hardly anyone wore a mask and there was no social distancing at all.
As for the election, there was only one slate of candidates and 
Hasan Hüseyin Çoşkun was re-elected as head of the Cooperative.

Prior to the vote, though, 8-piece sets of pots and pans were distributed 
to the crowd, which swarmed around the TIR (tractor trailer) 
containing the sets.  Some members of the Cooperative bemoaned the
lack of COVID awareness, noting that "it's nice that the sets are being
given away but doing this during a pandemic is inviting disaster with
everyone crowded one on top of the other!"  

The police assigned to the election grounds made announcements 
about masks and social distances but no one paid any attention.
