1. The 'boss' of the Frankfurt soccer club (Eintracht Frankfurt) came out pretty critical over the 'ghost game' idea (no fans allowed in the arenas). Lot of economic talk and losses for the club....that consequences will occur.
It is hurting the future of major league soccer but there's simply no plan 'b'.
2. In my region....the city of Limburg had the idea of running a longer Christmas Market than normal.....all the way to the 29th of December. Word came out yesterday, because of new state regulations....it'll close today (24th).
3. The Frankfurt Opera facility has heavily condemned the new regulations....limiting an audience to 250 max. It's supposed to start on 28 December. As he says.....why bother even opening the place to a small group.
4. The 7-day infection rate (per 100,000) is now down to 280 (roughly half of what it was a month ago).
5. I noted off N-TV this morning....all sixteen German states now report Omikron in their region.
6. One aspect hyped up for months.....was German contact-tracing. This is where you had one guy who'd been tested positive. The local health officer would sit and analyze the guy's path over the past 24 hours and contact people to get them tested.
Well....N-TV talked about this element, and the health authorities now admit that things have reached a level where just about no one is able to accomplish contact-tracing. It's simply a form....left blank....just too many people and not enough health officers to make it work.
7. 70.7-percent of the German population is fully vaxed-up, reports N-TV. On the booster rate? It's around 35-percent presently.
Chatter on the 2nd booster? It's rarely mentioned but some journalists suggest it'll be apparent by mid-summer 2022.
