Q-and-A

 1.  Covid chatter going on?

Well....just about everyone is expecting a wave (or two) to occur in the fall.  So, the experts (not the political folks) are starting to prepare for the state-federal roundtable business (probably in August) to list the actions to take.

Masks to come back in full-scale?  No doubt, but it's hard to see the bars/restaurants shut down again.  

2.  Croatia adapting to the Euro?

Officially, on 1 Jan 2023, the Kuna will evolve into the Euro.

3.  Frankfurt likely to get a new mayor?

Pretty much a sure-bet at this point.  Feldmann's party (the SPD) is fired up to write the script that he goes away.  There's not a single day on social media or via news media that the negativity on the guy comes up. But Feldman seems pretty confident in himself.....that this negativity will just all go away one day.

4.  Hot water being turned off in a school district?

To save on energy bills....the Lahn-Dill school district (locally around the Giessen area) has said it's ordering zero hot water.  Probably going to be some upset folks in the winter time, but I kinda agree.  Wouldn't surprise me if all state/public buildings go this way over the next year.

5.  Germans watching the Johnny Depp court episode?

Well....marginally.  If you stayed with public TV (ZDF/ARD)....you just knew some case was going on between Johnny and the ex-wife.  If you watched the commercial networks (RTL, Pro7, etc).....then you got a 3-minute update per day.
