Germany and Covid-19: 30 July 2021

1.  N-TV reported this morning that several German states are returning their unused vaccine cases because they are nearing expiration, and the trend is really slowing down on vaccinations.

2.  The trend line for new infections in Germany?  N-TV reported this AM that it's going up and they can identify the majority of new infections to vacations outside of the country.

This is what is driving the new testing rules as you fly, drive or take the train back into Germany....starting in the next couple of days.

3.  If you use the Wiesbadenaktuell site, the current vaccination numbers are: first shot: 61.3 percent of Germans.  Second shot: 50.9 percent.  

On new infections in past 24 hours?  8,304.  Death count in past 24 hours: 107.

The 7-day incidence rate, using Wiesbaden city as reference?  Well....we bottomed out at 5.0 per 100k, on 6 July.  As of yesterday, we'd risen to 23.3 per 100k.  Odds of getting to 50 per 100k by mid-August?  I'd say it's pretty good odds.
