1. The way that Focus talks....by the end of 2021....an official policy will be put up by the EU/Germany, and nine months will be the length of being certified as vaccinated. One day past nine months....you are non-vax, unless you booster up.
2. There will be a nationwide ban on gathering on 31 December 2021 and 1 January 2022. Typically, for the evening of the 31st, most Germans (say under the age of 60) would be out....drinking, celebrating, and at midnight....fire off some fireworks. In cities like Munich, Frankfurt, Berlin...it was a big deal. So, expect the police to be out and if you are on the streets....mingling with others, don't be shocked if they chase you away.
3. As of last night, for the past 24 hours....there were 89,802 new infections reported. Current 7-day rate for the nation is 439 (per 100k residents).
4. Some folks have quietly told the federal/state folks they screwed up on making 2G (Vaxed or recovered) standard on entry into regular stores. The hype? Well...they pointed out that vaxed-people can easily be carriers of the virus. So 2G doesn't make any sense (even I would buy into this logic). If you follow this logically....the only path left is 2G-plus....meaning you have to go test for Covid prior to entry into a store (making this an incredibly hard task for most folks).
5. Head of the German police union has hinted strongly that going to 2G is going to trigger people into being more aggressive (violent) if police are drawn into a confrontation.
6. Lawsuit over the New Year's fireworks ban by the federal gov't? Yes, and it's a curious thing they drag up.....there is no science study to say fireworks increases or changes your chances of getting Covid. Judges to be rapidly drawn into this discussion? They'd have to act in the next ten days....to ensure fireworks could even be trucked out of the manufacturing situation....to grocery depot areas, in time for the sales around 29/30 December.
I will admit.....there is zero science studies done on something like this. There are studies to say some pollution factor exists, and it just makes one wonder if they attempted to tie pollution into Covid.
How the legal system will view this? They've already said that the federal/state folks have the 'power' to do just about anything over Covid, so I don't think they will change their opinion over the fireworks.
7. Presently, four Germans are displaying the Omikron variant. Three were travelers into South Africa. All four were vaxed-up. All four are in home-quarantine. All four are reporting mild symptoms and experiencing no serious bouts. None have had any special drug/hospital care.
