Ban Rules to the Extreme

 About every single day....I have to go and review my local/regional Covid ban-rules because they continually 'change'.  In some cases, they become more and more complicated.  Today is a good example of this.

2G-plus is in effect for bar/restaurant indoor situations now.  What does this mean for entry?  You must be:

1.  Double vaccinated and tested.

2.  Recovered and tested 

3.  Twice vaxed-up and boosted.

4.  Recovered and double vaxed-up.

5.  Double vaxed-up and recovered.

6.  Vaxed-up, recovered, and second vaxed-up. (within 90 days).  

7.  Recently recovered (maximum 3 months from the day of the positive PCR test).

8.  Recovered AND freshly vaccinated once (maximum 3 months, from date of vaccination).

Complicated?  Well....there are exceptions noted....but those are for kids under the age 18 in this ban-rule listing.

Now, if your wife/husband/kids come up with Covid....under the OLD ban-rules, you were ordered to be quarantined with them.  Like in my case....four days after my wife got Covid, and was tested....I got this health authority note from the district....I was confined to the house (without any test done).

So time has passed and new quarantined ban-rules exist:

1.  If you are vaxed-up (two shots) and boosted....you don't have to play house-quarantine.

2  If you are recovered and double vaccinated....you don't have to play house-quarantine. 

3. If you are double vaccinated and recovered....you don't have to play house-quarantine.

4.  If you are recently double vaccinated (maximum 3 months, from the day of the second vaccination), you don't have to play house-quarantine.

5.  If you are recently recovered (maximum 3 months from the day of the positive PCR test), you don't have to play house-quarantine.

6.  If you are recovered and  freshly vaccinated once (maximum 3 months, from date of vaccination), you don't have to play house-quarantine.

Confusing?  Imagine having a household of mom, dad, grandma, and four kids (of which two are over the age of 18....with the five adults all having a slightly different ban-rule deal.

Imagine the end of 2022.....with the 3rd booster being 'done' and talk of the 4th booster being a topic of conversation.

Exactly why we said "Screw It" and stay at home or go for walks.

The one thing I can say from the ban-rules....Germans will go and put out layer after layer of regulation....making things more complicated, and eventually reaching a point where a regular person requires some lawyer to simplify the problem.

By the end of 2022...I expect the word '2G-plus-double-plus-extra-plus' to exist.
