1. Local state, Hessen, announced that fitness studios can officially open on Monday. State also made up a rule, if you test positive for Covid with the in-home or quickie-test....you have to do quarantine but also have to take an official lab-test. Zoos and museums can open on Monday....provided you give them your ID information. Hardware shops within the state will finally open next Monday as well (been shut down since early December).
2. Chatter over a 'third' wave? Well....just chatter...nothing factual.
3. Germany has now approved Astrazeneca for people over the age of 65.
4. There's talk that several major companies have come up and want to use their own resources (medical staff) to vaccinate personnel. How this would work? Unknown. It may occur that the Russian vaccine is put on the approved list, and individual German companies buy the stuff to do their own vaccination program (out of the priority system). I wouldn't expect this to occur until May.
5. ARD (public TV) brought up this unusual story. If you live in a particular neighborhood in Berlin-City (Neukolln)....you are twice as likely to have Covid-19 as your neighboring area of Treptow-Köpenick. Reason? Unknown. You would suspect that some government agency should be in the middle of this ask what makes one neighborhood different from the other. Partying?
Someone pointed out that unemployment in Neukolln is around 16-percent....while the neighbor area is half of that. Some are suggesting the Neukolln is a ghetto-in-the-development-stage...but that normally shouldn't make much difference on Covid-19.
Ought to be begging for more explanation.
