Germany and Covid: 29 Nov 2021

 1.  There's a grocery chain in my region that announced over the weekend....to enter, you now must be 3G (vaxed-up, recovered, or tested).  First grocery to make that a standard.  The rest have no 'G' requirements.  Zero proof that Covid is passing around via grocery stores, if you curious about factual information. 

2.  7-day occurrence level per 100,000: 446 (still hefty).

3.  Focus reports from Amsterdam....from that episode on Friday where the sixty-odd people were identified coming out of South Africa, with the new Covid variant.....a Spaniard and a Portuguese, attempted to sneak out of the country (ordered into a quarantine hotel at the airport).  They'd actually made it back into the airport and were physically on a airplane to Spain....having boarded.  Now?  Cops involved, and there's likely to be charges (endangering the public is mentioned)....you could be talking about real jail-time after their quarantine now ends.

4.   There is chatter that a state-federal meeting will be pushed to this week, instead of the 9th of December.....to bring several major changes. 

On the list?  National shutdown of Christmas markets remaining, major sports events turning back into ghost-matches (meaning no fans in the stadiums....even vax'ed ones), more restrictions for non-vax people, and 2G-plus being implemented (meaning even if you are recovered or vaxed-up, you have to do a test to show evidence).

The Christmas market crowd getting highly frustrated?  It's just not that big of crowds showing up (2G is stressed now).  Total loss on investments and man-hours.
