Applications Story

 This morning via N-24 news....they chatted for a moment over the number of asylum applications from 1 January, to the end of June (six months).  Germany took 47,231 applications.  If you did the math....it would suggest that 2021 would end with just around 100k applications.

Does it mean 100k were accepted?  No.  It means around 100k applied.  You have to word this in a particular way when you are discussing the topic with a journalist or politicians in Germany.

Is it a lot?  No....typically before 2013....the number revolved around 200k to 250k a year, on average.
