Some pieces I noticed in the German news:
1. Lot of negative hype going on in Germany over the vaccine AstraZenica (British/Swedish). Lot of virus experts are peeved over the public reaction. Some political folks are talking about opening the vaccine for all folks (not just priority group one/two as we are in the prioritization program currently).
2. Some chatter going on that political folks want Chancellor Merkel to get her vaccination live on TV. In the priority grouping.....she's in group three (still probably a month away minimum). She hasn't said if she'd agree to this. It would be pretty crazy if she did this.....got the jab, and then fainted live on TV. I'd advise against the live shot myself.
3. N-TV is reporting a couple hundred 'young people' met in Stuttgart last night, consumed alcohol on the street, and then got rowdy. Police tried to reinforce 'peace' and conducted Covid-ban rule checks (lot of people with no masks). Things kind of went downhill at that point.
4. N-24 had a piece today which chatted over a theme going on in Berlin currently....where the police arrest and submit people for charges, and the city prosecutor-office only goes through with roughly 45-percent of those charges leading to court action....the rest are 'let-off'. A fair number of people are shaking their heads over the numbers and asking where this leads to in the future.
5. Some chatter going on (ARD reporting) that the Finance Minister wants to push for higher taxes on the wealthy or high-wage earners of Germany.
