This continued chatter over halting all air-traffic into Germany? There's to be some meeting next week, and the topic will come up. ARD (public TV, Channel One) tossed the topic out there and discussed part of this situation.
Where this is going? The viral experts are now in fear that more variants of the Covid-19 virus will enter the country. The problem here....it goes to involve railway services and the autobahns.
Total shutdown? It's hard to imagine that they'd reach this level of agreement, with all sixteen states.
If they just said air-freight only entering for a couple of weeks? Even that wouldn't really stop the potential of more variants entering...as you'd have air-crews staying at local hotels.
If they shut down the exit/enter capability of trains? You could probably do this for a month, but you'd still have to allow freight trains to enter Germany, or exit the country.
Autobahns? Same story. Freight has to enter and exit.
Would people just accept this? Right now....for a month, probably.
Would it hurt the drug dealers? That's a curious situation to bring up. There's a fair amount of traffic from Czech into Germany, and it's likely to disrupt drug trafficking to some degree.
This going on for two or three months? It'd be crazy to imagine a shutdown like that and people accepting it as a normal thing.
Footnote: Late today, Israel announced a flight halt (passenger planes only).
