This AM, Focus picked up a Covid story....which is a 'paper' that is circulating around the Bundestag and describing government actions likely to occur in September.
At some point, when the incidence rates reaches a certain level (they already anticipate this)....if you were to attempt to enter an indoor facility (barbershop, restaurant, basketball arena, pub, bar, etc)....you would have to provide one of three accepted 'tickets' (proof of vaccination, proof of recovery, or proof of a test from the previous 24 hours).
Now, the paper goes onto the next incidence rate level....where the proof of a test would NOT be accepted). The fact that the government-provided 'free' tests are ending in September? That also plays into this situation.
Grocery/pharmacy operations? Exempted out. The aim is at social enterprises.
Value of the tests? If you go into this direction....it really hints that tests are worthless. On the quickie-tests, I might not argue much with them.
I sat last night and watched a piece on FRONTAL (ZDF, Channel 2, public TV). If you look at vacation regions around Europe....the rate of infection is seriously high, and Germans are still on holiday in these regions. Once they start to arrive back into Germany.....unless testing takes place....I expect the rate to take off by mid-to-late August. This will probably be the 'trigger' that the paper alludes to.
The BIG emphasis? I think the governmental authority really wants to avoid a shutdown like last fall. If the infection reached the levels that they saw in November 2020? It would be a hard issue to argue on avoiding shutdowns. Public confidence that the vaccination program had minimum effect would start to increase, and there would have to be some type of new gimmick to restore confidence.
