There's an economist from here in Hessen (my local German state) who has spent some time assembling facts and data....over curfews.
HR, our regional TV network, sat down and discussed his report.
What Georg Götz says? There's no evidence to prove that curfews in support of Covid-19 have any effect.
In fact, he goes to the next level and suggests that no facts/data support the idea of closing pubs, bars or restaurants....of having any significant effect upon Covid-19 rates.
Hurting the message of politicians? No doubt. But at this point, I don't think they care.
At some point by September (election period)....I suspect that a fair number of voters will be suggesting maybe it's time for a political curfew, and direct the public TV crowd to lessen political coverage or political chatter over Covid-19.
