This is just a „Warnstreik“ and it lasts for one day. If no headway is going to be made in the talks between union reps and companies, there might come a longer strike until an accord can be found. Last year, nurses and other assistant staff at the six university clinics in Germany’s largest federal state of NRW striked for six weeks.

You really should mix them yourself imo, the bottled ones tend to be pretty sweet, which diminishes the refreshment. Ratio 60:40 beer to lemonade at least. I just tend to use whatever is in the house, might be something like Bitburger, König Pilsner or some other regional pilsner... Beck's should be fine although it's not my favourite.
The pilsner's bitterness tends to fluctuate a lot throughout Germany and adjacent countries, in northern Germany they're way more bitter than the Austrian Stiegl you get, which makes them more refreshing to me in a Radler.

Sorry for the essay on beer and Biermischgetränke :D

They are already in therapy per one of the other comments. People can still be sick while the underlying condition is being treated.

In Germany they’re usually not made with juice, but instead Sprite or another lemonade with a (preferably) 5% Pilsner or other blond Lager.

The occasions you mentioned are spot on though ;)

The thickness in european traditional pea soups often comes from adding pork feet, pork tail or some other off-cut with a lot of gelatin. At least in Germany, probably also in the Netherlands.
