Germany and Covid-19: 18 Oct 2020

 1.  From Berlin (reported by public TV RBB)....all this hype on the curfew chatter (shutting down restaurants, pubs and bars at 11 PM) has been picked up by the Green Party.  

What the Greens openly say....there's marginal data to prove that these locations are creating more virus infections.  The Greens also point out....there's virtually NO data to say in-door partying is more dangerous than out-door partying.  

2.  RBB also discussed a curious discussion going on.  In the extreme far east of Berlin....those neighborhoods/districts....aren't having that big of a deal with new infections.  Explanation?  None.  The data simply doesn't show them progressing like the mid-town area or the western part of Berlin.  

3.  New word creation: 'Generation Corona'.  It involves young Germans who are frustrated with the rules, bans, and limited social contact.

In this group....no one really believes the police are going to do much on illegal parties or illegal contacts.  

4.  Total number of virus infections since day one, within Germany?  361,974....out of 83-million.  A minimum of 290,000 are considered recovered at this point in time.
