1. Some chatter from the Corona 'experts' this morning in Germany...discussing the idea that the hard-lockdown that the country has signed up to and is to run to 10 January.....will be extended out to 5 April (day after Easter) 2021.
Note, it's not the government talking about this but the virus experts.
Right now, I'd say around 70-percent of the public is signed up and positive to run the lockdown to 10 January, and maybe even to early February. If you were to approach that crowd and say Easter? I'm not sure about this being widely accepted. The fact that at least two state elections would be held in this period? This would bring other points up.
2. Some chatter from the Health Ministry....final details on the priority listing....four groups. Vast majority of the nation (probably near 50 million) are in the fourth group.
No way that this would conclude prior to late summer. One topic which is NOT discussed anywhere....the next round of vaccinations after that. None of the companies are really signing up and saying the shot is good for 365 days or for 180 days. It might not be shocking to wake up around May of 2021 and be told that your next round of vaccinations will start in January of 2022.
3. Total dead since day one in Germany? 25,277. Total dead in my local town of Wiesbaden (293k residents)? 95
4. Long lines being reported at the Covid-19 test center at the Frankfurt Airport, as people prepare for long-distance travel in the next couple of days. To enter most countries now....you need a slip that shows a negative test outcome. Some folks were reporting a four-hour wait to get the test done.
5. N-TV had a fairly indepth report this morning over a unique Covid-19 topic.
The research came from an American team who looked at this small group of folks who seem to show a positive Covid-test result....weeks and months after the supposed infection (like it never went away).
It was said up to this point, that Covid could not 'write itself' into the DNA of people. What the research folks suggest now is that in extreme and limited cases....the virus genome wrote itself into the DNA of people.
It is a rather long discussion and more research required. Add to it....it's a fairly small and limited number of people who've had this unique situation develop. Why only a small group? Unknown.
