More Bans to Come?

 According to Focus, there's supposed to be a meeting with the Chancellor today and more Corona bans are to be discussed. It doesn't mean it'll actually happen.....just a discussion stage.  And I should note....this is where they talk national bans.....rather than the state-by-state ban rules.

So one topic to be brought up....private parties.  What's is rumored is that parties will be limited 25 people max....if you reach such-and-such stage of infection.  The wording indicates....indoor situations.  Outdoors?  50 people. 

Hardest hit?  Wedding planners.  These events with 200 to 300 people?  Gone....if the ban is enforced. 

Second ban?  Well....there's been issues with people at bars/restaurants who are forced to provide names, addresses, and phone numbers.  So the discussion is....if fake names or non-existent addresses are provided.....a minimum fine of 50 Euro would occur.  

How would they prove this and track it to your apartment or your identity?  Unknown.  

Third ban?  There's going to be a discussion about a 'traffic-light' system, where uniform statistics and automatic bans click into place.  

Fourth ban?  Early hours shutdown on alcohol served is openly discussed.  No one is saying the time or the method here.  The basic idea is that you'd tell all clubs and bars....10 PM is the last point to serve drinks, and the operation is then shutdown.  Course, you could come up with a plastic cup.....get the drink and go stand out in the street with your 'gang'.

This idea won't settle well with young people and will simply trigger more drinking in parks and on the street corners.  Cops won't appreciate the extra work involved to enforce this. 

Public sentiment over more bans?  Well....generally, I'd say that 70-percent of the public is either neutral or accepting of the ban rules, or those being discussed.  Thirty percent of the public has run out of patience, and have no real enthusiasm for rules.  This also drags out the question....do any of these have relative facts that suggest controlling the virus?  You have the situation where even some doctors are questioning some of the actions, and that simply frustrates the public even more.
