1. Here in my local state....the authorities have kinda agreed that in early March....stores will be allowed to reopen (rules will apply and limit of entry will be in the mix). Restaurants and bars? The suggestion is early April for out-door situations, and things work well....to allow some limited indoor action. For a lot of the restaurants/bars....it's probably too late to recover.
2. This new test at-home kit for Covid-19? It's to be marketed at stores at 159 Euro for a box of 20 kits. Frankly, with the pricing....I'm skeptical that Germans will rush out and buy these. At 8 Euro per kit, it's a challenge.
3. Number of deaths from across Germany yesterday (Wed) from Covid-19: 416. A week ago, it was 591. There's been a downward trend going on for at least a month now.
4. We are a few short of 69k deaths since day one of the virus.
5. I watched a N-TV update this morning....statistical average of what you'd call a rough 'event' for Covid-19.....is around one out of three Germans (RKI discussing the averages).
6. Vaccination progress? Roughly 4.2 percent of the population has been vaccinated. Most all of the vaccination centers are open and running 'full-blast'. The claim by the government is that by mid-summer (figure late July)....they will reach the end stage. I suspect this claim is made with the idea that a quarter of the population will refuse the vaccination.
