If you gaze at the Germany map (Focus has a great display and data explanation), with the 401 districts shown....with four Covid-19 color schemes (no real Covid issues, minor infection rate, increasing Covid, and 'bad-off' Covid)....you come to three conclusions.
1. Most all of the red districts ('bad-off') are in western Germany and the suburbs of Berlin. Eighty-three districts now in red.
2. There are around 15 districts showing virtually no real Covid issues). About the only thing you can get out of this data is that they are mostly rural districts....marginal tourism existing...and mostly all in the eastern sector (old DDR) of Germany.
3. Eleven districts are what you'd call bright red, meaning they are reaching a point where logic would dictate a complete shut-down order. The three worst hit districts? Berlin-Neukolln neighborhood, St Wendel, and Berchtsesgaden. Oddly enough, Bitburg follows the three.
This map likely to influence new decisions by the Berlin federal leadership in the next week? I'd virtually guarantee another Chancellor/state premier-president meeting occurring and serious new measures announced by Friday.
