1. The issue of 'clogging-up' the ICU beds has gotten discussed. So there's this idea....dividing Germany into five zones (X-number of ICU beds in each zone), and that helicopters or ambulance vehicles would take new patients and move them from zon3-A to zone-B, to balance out the system.
On paper, it might make sense. But if you were a Trier-resident and got assigned to Dresden....well....that's a heck of a helicopter ride or a all-day ambulance ride. The same for a Covid-guy from Hamburg, who gets assigned to Kassel.
2. Belgium went to max closure (starting Monday)....grocery stores remain open. All other shops are supposed to close.
3. The German federal government made a clear statement that they will not go and audit private apartments. Police will only be used for public locations.
4. Newly infected numbers (over a 24-hour period), 26,986 (continuing an upward trend).
Even in my local town of Wiesbaden (291k residents)....newly infected, 112. 580 folks are in some form of quarantine.
5. Lot of legal chatting going on with restaurants preparing to sue the government and have the shut-down affecting them (starting Monday) to be suspended or thrown out. Odds of this happening by next weekend? Zero, I would suspect....but within 2 weeks? It's possible.
