After a fair amount of public and private chatter yesterday.....the Bundestag leadership determined that you can't make next Thursday and Saturday 'free-shut-down' days in the name of Covid-19.
Officially (for years), Friday and Monday were 'branded' as part of the Easter off-period. This plan discussed by the Chancellor was that you'd force all business operations to shutdown, and only with grocery stores opening on Saturday....was the draft plan. So that's gone now.
Amount of criticism dumped upon Chancellor Merkel for the 'failure'? Probably the most that she's had since day one of the Chancellorship.
It's a curious thing as well....if you look at state by state actions, the Saarland (as a state) is ending all closures (gyms, kinos, outdoor eating establishments, etc) on 6 April (after Easter).
The whole gimmick of the federal government trying to 'super-manage' Covid-ban-rules? Pretty much slammed to the ground by the sixteen states.
