This morning, if you watched N-TV (commercial German news)....there's this hype going on.
Various German states are planning a pretty-soon-to-occur deal...where the infection rates goes below 100, and suddenly 'things' are open.
What 'things'? Retail, outdoor restaurants, vacations (hotels), theaters.
Ban-rules still falling into play? Well....yeah. Masks still required, hygiene expectations and guest addresses kept? Absolutely.
Actual indoor bars opening? Well....that's not the intent. It sounds like beer gardens would open up and you'd sit outside.
So when would this all occur? They are careful over the discussion. I don't see it for the first two weeks of May. If you asked me nation-wide? You'd probably see the first state or two by the third week, and most everyone open by the end of May.
Curfew? That topic is avoided and it begs some questions.
Shocking speed? It was just three weeks ago that they went to the federal program and really put the screws down hard on the ban-rules. I suspect that part of this 'speed' is due to frustration by the public and enough discontent that it might affect the September national election.
