1. Deaths: 3,218. Infections: 128,514 (Focus numbers)
2. All eyes in Germany are turned toward this meeting today of the Chancellor and the sixteen Premier-Presidents (governors). Merkel says various options are on the table to reopen things, but there has to be complete agreement....she doesn't want 8 states going one way and 8 going the other way.
The general suggestion is that restaurants, cafes and pubs will open this weekend. Beyond that.....things are 'iffy'. Some states are opening discussing the idea of opening schools and kindergartens.
The travel ban? Most don't see it changing in April, and it'll go into mid-May.
The soccer games? There's a strong suggestion that 'ghost' games will occur shortly (no fans allowed into the stadiums).
3. Presently, the RKI folks say 68,000 Germans have recovered from the virus.
4. That Heidelberg lawyer who threw a court case against limiting rights during this virus-period....that reached the German Constitutional Court and was thrown out? Well....it's been about three weeks, and there's this interesting development. About a week after the Court threw the case out.....police show up at this lady's door, and escort her to a mental clinic for a mandatory 'check-in'. Basically, someone found a judge to sign the papers to suggest that she's unstable and requires 'help'.
The case against her stability? Nothing has been put into the public eye over this and there's no way to suggest one way or another.
5. Finally, there are experts surveying how this started, and they've come to agree that it most likely did not start up in a bio-weapons lab in Wuhan. However, they are now going to the idea that a regular lab (research type) was handling this bat-virus, and it simply got out of the lab. The problem is....China doesn't want to discuss any of this, and you simply have to wonder about the start-up.
