The first hint? Today, via a comment by the Saarland Premier-President (Hans, CDU).
It was a simple question by the news folks, and Hans responded that if the numbers don't show a change....then the extension to the shut-down-lite would continue on.
The odds of the public accepting this into December....Christmas season? There would be a lot of grumbling and probably 50-percent of the nation would be extremely negative about this. They generally all assume to some degree...it's a 30-day deal.
The fact that this came from outside of the Berlin 'political-machine'? I think most of the CDU-CSU-SPD folks have been briefed and told not to gossip or talk over the shut-down-lite deal.
The skeptics seizing upon this hint? Someone will come around to Chancellor Merkel by Monday and ask her if an extension is possible, and she'll do one of her 'wait-and-see' comments.
The true problem here....if numbers don't retreat....then you could be looking at a 100-day shut-down-lite 'party' and lots of unhappy campers.
