I looked over Focus coverage of the German Coronavirus, and there were three short but curious stories standing out:
1. Berlin-City is supposed to end it's summer vacation period this weekend, and students would return to school shortly. But it was noted in regional news that a student 'union' group held a meeting and have said they intend to 'strike' unless the city hands out more money for sanitation efforts and institute more ban-rules.
The odds here? There's probably going to be a strike day in the first week of school and another repeat strike day....with the school management having to agree to something.
The other side of this.....more kids might get involved with an opposing union which is anti-Corona-bans, and demand a strike if some ban-rules are not removed.
2. Some Germans are hyped up and negative about the 'free' tests if you fly back into Germany from a 'hot zone'. The wording by the federal government is that it's a free test as long as you accomplish it within 3 days of returning.
The negativity here? These Germans are saying it's unfair that they (who didn't go on a trip) are funding the tests.
3. This airport testing mechanism? Well, there is some talk that it's chaotic and some test results have gotten 'lost' in the system. It's not a big deal, but it's obvious that they hurried the program in and weren't fully prepared for the mess that followed.
