It is on page one news this morning in Germany, and I doubt if it's a shock....but Monday is a scheduled meeting between Chancellor Merkel and the sixteen Premier-Presidents of the states of Germany.
Topic? Well...MORE ban rules.
The idea of relaxing the current list that started on 2 November? That idea was only going to occur if significant reductions were seen on infections/deaths, which has NOT been the case over the past week.
The current chatter, if you review both news and social media? Christmas will be tighten down to a non-event (that's the general expectation right now). Schools possibly shut-down as of 1 December? Some folks are suggesting this will be on the list, and making an entire month of school shut-down as part of the planning.
People accepting this? Up until now....a majority of Germans (probably around 70-percent) were willing to play the game out with the ban-rules.....without much argument. I would suggest from the remaining 30-percent....half are very anti-ban-rule, and the other half are asking a lot of questions, (just not feeling positive over the future).
Another month of intense shut-down, especially around Christmas? Depression and anxiety would increase. Mental health clinics are probably nearing 100-percent on client-handling, and probably can't go and handle another large scale group of customers from across Germany.
The next harsh ban list? Probably coming Monday evening.
