1. NTV reports today....out of every three Covid PCR tests reviewed....only one is positive. Another curious thing they mentioned....the lab capability currently across the entire nation? They are at 95-percent capability for the PCR tests.
2. A district in Saxony has stood up and said they won't enforce the nurse/care-taker mandate from the federal government that vaccinations are mandatory as of 15 March. I expect more districts over the next month to take the same approach and refuse to follow the federal guidelines.
3. Federal Health Minister says when Omicron lessens (probably within four weeks)....harsh rules will be lessened.
4. For those who didn't know.....all of the German government aircraft (under the Bundeswehr Air Force) are based out of Bonn. When a government VIP requires a trip....the plane takes off from Bonn....lands in Berlin, and takes the individual to the point in Europe or the world that he desires. Then he/she returns, and the land takes off from Berlin to land at 'home' (Bonn).
In the past year, this means 336 'empty' flights occurred. N-TV talked a bit over this situation today. Various environmental folks are peeved about this and want this practice to halt ASAP.
What halts placement of the aircraft at BER (the new airport)? Well....lack of infrastructure. When will the problem be resolved? Current gov't estimate is 2034.
You can laugh about this dynamic, but no within the Merkel government for 16 years....made a big deal about this. And the new government is just standing there....shaking their head.
