Germany and Covid-19: 8 Oct 2020

 1.  The new infection rate (reported daily) is at the highest rate for the past couple of months.  Last night, for the one-day situation.....3,439 new cases were reported.  

Frankly, in cities like Berlin or Frankfurt, it's getting hectic and chaotic.  You have to go back to early April to see daily new rates at this level.

2  Some regionalized test facilities have hit maximum daily testing capabilities.

3.  As of today.....seven districts around Germany (3 in Berlin alone) are identified as 'high-risk'.

4.  Starting yesterday.....in the Bundestag (the German Congress)....masks are mandated.

5. The German tax authorities have kinda admitted that if you got Corona-aid from the government in 2020.....it's probably taxable.  No one detailed that when they turned it on.
