1. N-TV ran a report this morning, and the main story was that Germans with 'bad' Covid are now ending up in the hospital ICU areas at a higher rate.
Across Germany, on Friday....417 folks are now under treatment (Friday a week ago, it was 359).
2. ARD public news talked about the folks reaching a stage requiring hospitalization. In the RKI study, they say it's a four days from symptoms first appearing....that bad-off folks end up at the front-door of a hospital. But there are studies saying the majority of the bad-off crowd are taking up to ten days before they get dragged off to the hospital.
3. ARD public news also talked up the trend line at this point, compared against 2020 (same period)....it's way up....3 times the level you would have seen in the first week of August 2020. Lot of speculation over this.
I would suggest the return to normal travel, and normal vacations probably figures into this.
4. Via N-TV, political pressure is being applied to Chancellor-candidate Laschet (CDU) to avoid another shut-down. Coming from private citizens, business fronts, and politicians themselves.
What'll likely happen? I'd suggest that he'll allow the sixteen states to write their own script and zero business shut-downs occur this fall/winter period. Schools? Probably a whole other story, with each kid likely getting a minimum of four to six weeks off this school year....with home-school option likely.
