Boy, Who Would Have Predicted That?

 This AM in Germany, the union chief for German police....came up said 'no, we won't be the test people for entry into Germany for Covid-19.'  It was a pretty blunt statement and I don't think the union will back down.  

Shocking, absolutely shocking.

So if they aren't the ones....who exactly will be manning all these railway and autobahn sites to test folks?  

Well....it's not clear.

One would guess and say that they might deputize around 3,000 Bundeswehr soldiers but I doubt that this would even be half the number required.  Telling the soldiers that this would be long-term duty?  No....that probably won't work either.

So what I'd predict here....around 10k to 15k German unemployed folks will be offered a job to test folks.  Figure 8 to 10 Euro an hour.....just to swab and test folks.  Who would pay for this?  Well....tax revenue, I would assume.

This turning into a job opportunity for Poles and Czechs?  That wouldn't shock me much.
