1. 16,000 new infections as of last night reported in Germany (record level). Death numbers since day one....climbed over the 10,000-level as of this morning.
2. In my local town of Wiesbaden, since day one....out of 291,000 residents....the total infected stands at 1,667. New infected in past 24 hours? 63.
3. Lot of hype lately in Germany over sanitizing ultra-violet light devices being sold. Public TV last night did a test of three 'models'. All three proved to be ineffective and worthless. In strong language....they kinda discouraged people from wasting money on this type of 'cure'.
4. Frankfurt is repositioning itself on the Christmas market idea. Very close now to cancellation.
5. Darmstadt political chatter.....discussion is centered on the idea that schools and kindergarten operations can 'kick-out' kids who don't use a mask. Opening up a bigger mess when a kid is kicked out and then authorities step in with jail-time for parents who oppose the mask. Wild situation with implications.
6. Another round of positive test results at the Kassel refugee center....31 individuals came up with the infection. A lot of this is related to tight quarters.
7. Over past two weeks....German police in Frankfurt conducted 11k 'controls' on the general public. They wrote up tickets for 1,600 mask violations.
8. My son noted at his business (furniture)....police entered in the past week and did a walk over the entire store....with a couple of customers noted for having their mask below the nose (getting you a mask violation ticket). Out front of the building....was an imbis stand where the police stopped and asked for the customer listing that the guy is supposed to have. He had no listing of customers.....another ticket, 250 Euro fine on that issue.
