1. Last night, via German public TV news....the Health Minister (Lauterbach) said that a shutdown of sorts will occur in January, but likely not go for more than the month itself. All of this because of the quick pace of Omikron? More or less. Winter sports (skiing affected)? Yes. Actual details? Zero. The sixteen states to agree to this? That's not on the table yet and some of the states might not be so agreeable for a full and absolute shutdown.
2. Starting 28 December, 'ghost games' are back on the schedule for soccer....meaning just players, ref's, and management at the stadiums. Hurting clubs? Well....a lot of clubs were limited to participants at the stadiums anyway. I doubt if anyone is making 2019 levels of profit.
3. 7 Jan is the next German federal/state meeting on Covid. This shutdown discussion likely occurs on that day, and runs (I'm guessing here)....to 31 Jan (Monday).
