Yesterday, the announcement was filtered out by the German government. If you had Covid.....you were 'special' and had a status that meant you could do things that non-vax people couldn't do. I know....it's silly to think this way, but it was a decision made a number of months ago.
So the government experts met, and had a meeting recently. They decided that 'recovered' shouldn't be six months in duration. So the new number is three months.
Any real science to this? Funny how this is such a round thing to begin with (6 months) and goes to another round number (3 months)?
I looked at a social media discussion and some German asked why it couldn't be a 100-odd day special status as recovered? He has a point.....I'd even suggest that 104 days sounds pretty special.
Would it matter if this were a 32-year old gal, and at month seven.....she still had antibodies? The fact that there is no test in this 'recovered' talk? Well....yeah, that is an odd part of the discussion.....but I don't think you want to admit that 100 people would each have a rate of loss different from the others.
I hate to admit this, but one of the odd things I learned from my military years is that when someone makes up a rule and they give round-numbers.....it's usually a fraudulent serious topic.
The odds that 'recovered-status' will slip from three months to two months? Oh, I'd say by the end of 2022....that will definitely happen. But eventually....some idiot will ask the question....if you are recovered on day-1 from Covid.....if you lose your recovered-status by day-90....does that mean you could have Covid on day-91?
This is one of those pause moments where you drag out the bottle of gin, and have a few shots to ponder over the implications.
