1. Deaths: 4,503 Infections: 142,422 (Focus numbers). Both Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg have topped 1,000 deaths each.
2. Next week, barbershops and hairdressers can reopen. However, long discussions are being a problem over hygiene and how the business will be handled. Some say that masks will be mandatory. Others are saying that even the number of customers within the shop have to be controlled in some fashion.
3. Presently, there is chatter about 70,000 restaurants and hotels in Germany with serious financial jeopardy going on. The suggestion is that the bulk will have to declare bankruptcy unless normal conditions return to order.
4. Some talk started up about summer vacations this week. Of one urgent problem.....almost one-third of the Greek business sector is dependent on tourism. If it doesn't happen......there's a massive problem affecting the stability of Greece and it's economy.
5. Last night, Minister of Economics for Germany....Pete Altmaier gave an interview on late TV.....with one serious blame. The nation is really functioning with sixteen different rule sets. The states are running various programs, and you could find various interpretations differing....depending on which state you stand in. As Altmaier indicates, you have to play the game because the federal government isn't 'all-powerful'.
6. Mask requirements? If you walk around.....you need to pay attention to the state and city you are in.....and if masks are required. So you basically need to carry a mask on your person (even if you don't believe in their effect) and pretend along with everyone else.
7. Soccer restarting on 9 May? Maybe.....but it'll be 'ghost' games (no fans).
