1. In my local town (Wiesbaden)....they registered the 29th death since day one (76 year old guy). Nationally, the death count stands at 10,072. Locally, the vast majority of deaths have been individuals over the age of 70 (with secondary conditions or fragile health).
2. This option being discussed by the Chancellor's office.....Shutdown-lite? Schools would basically continue on (open) with some minor restrictions added. Bars, pubs, and restaurants? The suggestion is that they'd close. Events? This was not described in detail, but they'd be shut down entirely. I'm not sure if soccer games fall into this category or not. Businesses? They'd stay open, with minor changes. Odds of this affecting the rate? Unknown.
3. Reactions in Italy to new ban rules? Major riots in the major urbanized areas.
4. The CDU Party conference which had been scheduled for 4 December? Cancelled. No suggestion of the next date. Serious impact? Lot of anger dished out by the pro-Merz group....they suspect that Merkel is arranging things to keep Merz from winning. Real threat? 1,000 members would have been gathered and mass problem with Covid-19.
5. Some study has been done to suggest a third of alcohol-drinkers are consuming more booze since the virus started in Germany.
6. Lufthansa is shifting 125 of their present fleet (operating) to non-op status, because of the Corona virus affect on winter tourism.
7. Frankfurt City has asked for federal police help now....to conduct people-audits in the city over the ban rules. A lot of this audit business involves pubs still being open after the curfew hour.
8. Darmstadt identified a four block by four block area in the middle of town, where masks must be worn on city streets.
