The 800 Square Meter Question

After the Chancellor's message yesterday....the big question came up with people....why did it matter about 800 square meters (roughly 8,600 sq ft) on keeping a business closed, or reopening it?  If you are 800 or less.....you can reopen.  If you are 800 or more.....you are still on the forbidden to open deal.

Typically affected?  Most all electronic shops, and the clothing stores.

Why 800?  No one can state a clear purpose on this.  You could have poor hygiene in a 100 square meter shop, or you could have great hygiene in such a shop.

Furniture shops affected?  To a huge degree.

Bau market stores (the hardware stores)?  They were already deemed essential....like the grocery and drug stores.

Nothing about this makes much sense.  Affect on jobs?  I'd take a guess that 10 to 15 percent of most workers are affected by this limit.

A change coming shortly?  I would take a guess that in two weeks....this will be the next ban to drop.
