1. For last night, covering past 24 hours....the new infection number is 14,964 (RIK reporting this).
2. Swiss reporting indicates that the hospital system there will hit max capability in the next ten days. Retired doctors are being 'accredited' and eased back onto duty.
3. Chatter this morning indicates that veterinary services will be approved for Corona lab testing shortly.....to bulk up the testing business (pretty well maxed out now).
4. The discussion to close down restaurants? Well...today, it got brought up that this probably violates the Constitution if they attempt it (already done in March to May period). Opposition party (FDP) is talking over this.
5. Lot of chatter and social media discussion over 'alarmism', which is pointed directly at the Bundestag and news media.
Skepticism is at a all-time level (at least over the past couple of decades).
6. A newspaper out of Bavaria is talking over a serious problem with false positives (the number discussed....58 out of 60 tests). This discussion is triggering folks to now ask for a second 'confirmation' test....which is wasting lab capabilities because of the lack of trust.
7. The draft of the mini-shutdown discussion? Basically, they'd shut down discos, bars, pubs, and night-clubs. Hostility by the dance-hall/disco folks? They were just given a green light in the past three weeks. For most, this will be the bitter end.
If bars aren't open....one might speculate that beer and booze will be bought via beverage shops/groceries, and forest-parties (illegal) will be the trend to occur. Police will just be shaking their head....their job just got a bit more difficult.
More to come over the mini-shutdown tonight via the German news.
