1. What exactly did the Kiev (Ukraine) mayor say?
Vitali Klitschko basically said: "We are simply the beginning. Then Russia will turn to the Baltic states."
Accurate summary? Without much doubt, and I would imagine that the US already figured that out. The US troops sitting in Poland presently? They probably will be there on a permanent presence, and get increased by April.
2. What was this chaos that occurred in Oldenburg (city between Bremen/Dutch border)?
German guy came into the city train station, without a mask. Train station employee went to 'urge' the guy to mask up, and the guy goes 'nuts'. In the end....he actually got on the ground and bit the train station employee's leg. I've seen the picture.....pretty bad bite. Cops detained the guy, and he'll face charges unless proven to be mentally unstable (very likely to be sent to a mental unit, I think).
3. Chancellor Schulz in Russia on Tuesday?
Yes, and the general wording from all news sources is that the invasion starts on Wednesday.
Hard to see how Schulz can change any of the dynamics. Putin may have figured some value system where the total leadership within the EU/US is at the weakest point of the past fifty years, and the invasion makes perfect sense.
Rather than messing with Putin/government....it might be time to list the top one-hundred Russian billionaires and twist their world upside down....to see if they can flip the situation.
4. Steinmeier likely to be re-voted into second term as German President today (Sunday)?
Basically, a one-hundred percent chance. There are around four alternate candidates. None with any real chance. If you were looking for a scandal....he's pretty much maxed out with a zero.
He's stayed fairly neutral the past five years.
5. Asylum folks being rejected because of mental instability?
Well....yeah.
RBB did a report and covered the case of this one guy from Senegal, who'd made his way across the border into Germany....around 3 years ago. Since the arrival, he's been under constant treatment for epilepsy/schizophrenia.
About five months ago, paperwork was approved, and the guy was taken out of the center at 2 AM.....taken to a airport, and set for a Berlin-Brussels-Dakar flight. He was in Brussels when the pilot of the commercial airliner looked at the situation (even with guards) and said 'no'.....he didn't want a nutcase onboard his plane.
So the guy came back to Berlin. RBB went through a number of cases like this....failing for health reasons.
6. Overestimating the number of patients hospitalized because of Covid-19?
Our regional public TV folks (HR) did a report over this, and comments were made by the Director of the Frankfurt University Hospital.
Without any doubt, he summarizes that various people are brought into a hospital for other reasons (heart attack, stroke, knife wound, car accident, etc), and in the process of entry....they get tested, proved 'positive', then get to the ICU in the quarantine area. They get counted as Covid-ICU folks, when they didn't enter that way.
I've noticed in the past week....as the daily summaries come out via Wiesbaden authorities....they admit who are true Covid-ICU folks, and who came for 'other' reasons.
The fact that it may have been this way since day one? Well....yeah, and some folks who came for other reasons.....probably died there in the ICU area from Covid. Some might also have died from their original issue (the knife sound, car accident, etc)....but Covid got on the death certificate. An odd thing to admit.
