1. Deaths: 5,634 Infections: 154,150 (Focus numbers)
2. Monday is the start-up nationwide.....for masks to be worn in public. Schools will require them, if you attempt to enter.
3. Out of the 154,150 on the infected list....roughly 110,000 are people who've recovered.
4. Some chatter that the government wants 'rules' in place to help make work-at-home situations more likely. For some positions, it might work.....but the majority of work done in Germany is not that type that would work.
5. Green Party is suggesting a 250-Euro shopping 'voucher' be issued to every adult in Germany. No one is saying that it's got possibilities. Would pump up the economy to some degree....for a week.
6. A thousand Germans gathered in Berlin to demonstrate against the 'bans'. Growing trend.
7. China trying to get 'positive' comments from Germany on their handling of the virus? Well....yeah, the Foreign Ministry did admit to that. Most non-Germans would have a laugh because Germans usually don't go around praising anyone, but themselves.
8. What the news folks said last night (Saturday evening, both public and commercial TV networks)....is that shopping on Saturday wasn't that peppy, and a lot of shops had higher 'hopes'. First real Saturday with open-hours.
9. Cost of not wearing a mask tomorrow? Well, it differs state by state.
- Bavaria, if you are a shop-keeper....it's 5,000 Euro. If you are a private citizen, 150 Euro.
- Berlin, Bremen, NRW, Saarland, Lower Saxony, Hamburg and Brandenburg, nothing right now....a fine is being discussed.
- Hessen: 50 Euro.
- Mecklenburg: 25 Euro
- Pfalz: 10 Euro
- Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Schleswig-Holstein : No fine planned.
10. Corona-Luegner? It's a new phrase being thrown around.....basically translate to Corona-Denier....like Climate-Change-Denier but worse.
11. Should you wear a mask while driving? This debate has come up and I should make this observation.....some folks can easily hyper-ventilate, and get dizzy rather quickly. So I would strongly advise if you are riding a bike, it's very unwise, and if driving a car.....you might want to limit your driving....if you HAVE to wear a mask.
12. Cops in Bavaria got this phone call.....noting two barbershops illegally operating, in a basement situation. They go out, and yes.....two illegal barbershops. Summons issued, and fines likely to be assessed.
