Curfew Chatter

 This idea of a German national curfew mandate?  

Well....up until this point, it was a city by city situation....where the mayor/city council would look at the numbers and mandate close at 9 PM (till 5 AM).  

Most Germans will say that the curfew was fairly frustrating, and some folks had to pay a fine for being either accidentally or purposely out after 9 PM.  

Finding political support for a national curfew?  NO.  It doesn't appear to be something that the politicians want to make into a national mandate.  Who is driving this?  Mostly virus experts (doctors).

The fact that you could have thousands of small villages and towns without any serious virus rate?  That's part of this whole problem leading the discussion. This might make sense in Hamburg or Berlin where the virus rates are still way up....but not in smaller towns in the Pfalz.  

I will say this...with winter ending and the sun rising earlier and setting later....the 9 PM gimmick will become a joke in about four weeks.  In roughly two weeks, around my village...the sun will set at around 8:20 PM.  In four weeks...it'll be 8:45 PM.
