1. Total number of infections since day one out of 83-million: 3,643,806 (Wiesbadenaktuell numbers).
2. Total number of deaths since day one: 87,212.
3. Roughly 39-percent of the population have been vaccinated on the first shot.....around 13-percent have completed the second shot.
4. Locally (my town of Wiesbaden).....263 have passed on (out of 290k residents). The vast majority of this group are over the age 70, and I'd take a educated guess that the bulk of the group were over age 80. Wiesbadenaktuell does sum up each day, and if the hospital releases the age....they put it into the public summary.
5. If you lived in a house/home where one occupant was tested positive, that person is counted as an infection. With that....comes a note around three days later from the county health authority....telling the other adult persons in the home to be quarantined with the test positive person. If the second person has the same symptoms but isn't tested? He or she....doesn't count toward the national infection number.
In my case, the wife was tested positive and I had the same symptoms around two days later....but I was never tested. So I didn't count.
So this 3.6-million number for infections since day one? It's probably unrealistic, and one might suggest that the real number is closer to 5-to-6 million.
6. There was a brief discussion in the state of Lower Saxony this week....over the idea of dumping masks in retail/storefronts, if the local infection rate dropped below 35. The idea was eventually dropped.
Around the country, there are differing views on the mask business, and some (I'd suggest around 60-percent) are in some way pro-mask. Even if the state would drop the requirement....I suspect for years....the pro-mask crowd would continue to wear it.
