N-TV (commercial news) is discussing what was said in Berlin this morning, so the basic features are:
1. Christmas applications. If you are non-vaxed and gathering for Christmas dinner....it's supposed to only be your immediate family (not the extended family). How you will ask this and get a response from the relative/friend? Unknown.
2. New Year's Eve. It's worded kinda funny. It appears that it doesn't matter on your vax status.....it should just be limited to your household itself....no other contact. Any kind of extended party (like your co-workers, friends)? That appears to be totally forbidden.
3. Night-clubs and disco operations? They appear to be on the closed status.
4. Soccer games or concerts? There will be a limit on participants/fans.
5. Big lockdowns? They weren't on the list, yet.
6. Hint on infrastructure? Well....it was worded in the way to say they expect a lot of people by the end of January to be quarantined at home, and various things....won't work in a normal way. It's possible that you might have a fire in your house and only three guys show up to battle it (my interpretation). You might call for the police and still be waiting six hours for some crew to arrive. You might show up at the post office in your town....to find just one window open.
More stuff to come? Probably the week after New Years.....there's probably another meeting and more stringent things to occur as Omikron builds up.

Good grief, when will the unvaxxed have to start wearing a yellow 'nicht geimpft' star on their sleeves?
Looking afar at Germany repeating its morbid history is very disconcerting.
Omikron will sweep through in January, and over a 60-to-90 day period...bring services/commerce to a standstill, mostly because of ease of transmission. I think these scenarios worry federal/state authorities a good bit.
If you look back to December 2020, this is mostly identical to that period. With all the vax business achieved this year, it's success against the mandates of 2020 is mostly the same. That's what you can take home.
I'd look at this as a lot less doom, and mostly having a period of time where things don't work the way you'd expect (a quarter of the bus driver/train engineers out sick, dental emergency but your dentist office is shut down due to sickness, etc).
