1. In general, most Germans believe that once the incidence rate (per 100,000) got down to around 40 to 50 (100 to 200 was way serious in your community if that was the advertised number)....then a lot of these ban-rules ought to disappear.
Well....there was talk by the Chancellor yesterday that she wanted the ban-rules to stay in place to some degree....even if the rate was 40.
I would suggest that a fair sum of Germans are peeved and frustrated by the ban-rules still in place.
2. Total death count since day one (out of 83-million)? 88,013.
3. Total vaccinated with the first shot? Near 41-percent of the population. On the second shot, the count is near 16-percent.
4. Out of my local town (Wiesbaden, population 290k), the death count is at 268.
5. Focus this morning brought up a new Covid scam deal....fake testing. A test center will open up (with credentials from the city) and show paperwork for x-number of people they tested. In this scam example....in reality, they only tested 80 actual people....but the voucher/paperwork they turned in (to be paid for) was 977 people.
I expect by late summer....a lot of audits to start up and probably a quarter of all the quickie-test centers to shut down abruptly. I should note here....you (as a test-center) can easily get the 6 Euro for the test covered, but the total on collecting is around 18 Euro (with the 6 included in that sum). So for a hundred fake tests....you could walk away with 1,200 Euro. You figure two gals/guys working for a 8-hour day.....scam-wise, 600 Euro each.
6. N-TV brought up this curious story. Back in 2007, in Germany.....a pandemic exercise was held. A lot of lessons learned came out. Anything implemented or changed? The journalists dug into this and people basically admitted that nothing much changed from that exercise fourteen years ago.
