This afternoon, I was at a local Germany grocery.....on the check-out line....stood a broad area of three Covid products.
First, a ten-pack of plain regular cheapo masks....3.90 Euro (this pack would have been near 8.90 back in 20200.
Second, a single KN-95 pink-color mask for 35 Euro-cents. This would have been at least 3.90 Euro back 18 months ago. It being pink....a problem to sell? Yeah....they could price it 5 cents, and it'd be a hard sell.
Third, a Covid test kit, for 1.45 Euro (this would have been 4.90 a box back two years ago).
People worried or hyped up about Covid? No. I'd say out of every two bus trips I take.....some senior citizen German will be wearing a mask.
It does come up in conversation occasionally.....but the worry factor on a scale of one-to-ten....is probably a minus-one.
All this stuff left in warehouses? Yeah, that's a serious leftover issue. Somewhere in the region.....there's probably a hundred pallets of masks still lingering.
